This WikiProject is dedicated to containing factual information regarding all the genres and subgenres of music from around the world.
The infobox (the top table on this page) is for the primary genre pages (in this case, hip hop music). It should go at the top of the page. The other table is a footer, and it should go at the bottom of all the pages linked in the box. The footer should duplicate the links in the last four sections.
