Renominated as the first nomination gave way to virtually no discussion whatsoever apart from a sock.
Misleading article almost completely devoid of sources. The primary basis for the page is an AllMusic entry describing a different subgenre. Aside from that, as it is, article is original research. Ascribe4 (talk) 06:34, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to alternative hip hop. By definition, hip hop that is experimental will all be experimental in different ways, and hence not a coherent genre. This term is used quite widely ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]), but it seems largely synonymous with (or part of) alternative hip hop, rather than a distinct concept. --Michig (talk) 09:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I did just find a more convincing source here. I think the question here is whether we can find multiple decent sources that define it in the same way. Otherwise the article is just about a term that is used to describe various diverse hip hop artists. --Michig (talk) 09:28, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
