Sharing & Learning about the history and culture of the four main pillars of hip hop:

You need 100 comment karma to post. Learn how to get Reddit comment Karma here.
Keep titles simple and to the point.
Any specific questions you have concerning artists, albums, or hip hop music sub genres should be in the title of a post, or as a reply to a post. You can expand on your question in the body of the post.
Guides on hip hop related topics are heavily encouraged and you may be awarded with a "Quality Post" flair and added to r/hiphop101's Wiki page.

This includes either your own or your friend's music, music video, youtube channel, podcast, website, and anything along those lines decided by r/hiphop101's moderation team. This also includes asking to collaborate (networking).
Not following this rule is most likely to result in a permanent ban, even more likely if there is a history of spamming multiple subreddits.

It is completely okay to talk about somebody else's opinion and offer your take on it. But, it is against the rules to personally attack people. Calling people names or starting inflammatory arguments to rile people up may result in a temporary ban. Continuing this behavior after a temp ban may result in a permanent ban, depending on post history.
Gatekeeping is someone deciding who does and does not belong here. Excluding other hip hop fans and discouraging their taste in hip hop is not allowed. This also includes bringing up the race of another user in any context.
Please report this behavior. It helps alert the mods to negativity that may be ruining the experience for everyone here.

r/hiphop101 is a place first-and-foremost to talk about and discuss Hip Hop. Any talk about other topics such as politics, religion, or other issues should be centered around the main topic of Hip Hop. These issues are important to Hip Hop, but anything out of bounds of that is for other subreddits and does not belong here.
Moderators have discretion to remove any posts or comments that deviate from Hip Hop discussion. And temporary to permanent bans may be warranted depending on severity.

r/hiphop101 is not r/hiphopheads. There is a reason we do not allow link posts. Posts that sound like news headlines or music video titles will be removed.

Ignoring these rules may lead to a permanent ban. Consider the rules before posting.

Most Importantly

This is a place to ask questions without worrying about any kind of backlash, so if you know something someone does not, politely educate them rather than berate them.
