I don't think this page should be deleted, but one should be added explaining that "the dirty south" is a nickname for the region as a whole, not simply one genre of rap.

I think this page should be deleted. "Dirty South" is merely a nickname for the South as a whole when discussed in hip hop context. I don't see why this slang nickname would merit its own article. Anonymous User

No, Dirty South refers to a school of hip-hop music, and it's valid usage. Alexander 007 1 July 2005 01:11 (UTC)

See allmusic.com They define it as its own genre. I'm removing the merge tag. --DDG 19:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dirty South is on top

I think it is also ridiculous that an article is claiming that Dirty South refers strictly to music. It's a hell of a lot more than that. We are just so dirty in the South, and better than ya'll up North. It's a way of life and you wouldn't understand.

Uh...yeah^^^. Hey, is there any reason why this is here:

"nasty traditions in equivalent measure, arriving at a stoned, violent, sex-obsessed and profanity-oriented brand of modern hip hop."

That's a pretty biased view of "Dirty South" hip hop, considering groups like Outkast, Goodie Mob, Little Brother, Nappy Roots, and so many others have proven that description to be wrong. I'm going to take it out for a more unbiased description unless someone has an objection. Richard Corey 20:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with the person who characterized the article as biased. The original writer overtly talks negatively about the Dirty South. And by the way, the term Dirty South is used as slang for the South as well as for our music. That shouldn't however warrant the removal of this article as one person has suggested.
