Hi,
This is the second part of the bi-weekly posting of the Totally Unofficial
Rap Dictionary to alt.rap. It is extracted from the WWW version accessible
at:
http://www.sci.kun.nl/thalia/rapdict/dict_en.html
This part contains dictionary-related items, like some rap geography,
a who-is-who part and a wishlist for the dictionary.
Please help making this list more complete. If it wasn't for the help of
the UseNet alt.rap community, this list wouldn't be one percent of its
current size. Feel free to use or to contribute to this list. I don't
want anyone (including myself) to use this list for financial gain, though.
