Redirect to Rappers Rapp Group. Definitely notable, but we seem to have two articles on the same thing and the one without the "the" seems to be the official one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rappers Rapp Group, or merge both with DJ Flash as he seems to have been the most prominent member of the group. Pburka (talk) 19:16, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If The Rappers Rapp Group is non-notable, then surely Rappers Rapp Group is equally non-notable. I've had a quick search and cannot find much about them at all, i mean this is their AllMusic entry and this is the google books results, which all seem to be trivial mentions. I'm not sure if DJ Flash himself would be notabe either. A search of google books throws up many hits, but Grandmaster Flash seems to have gone by the name DJ Flash too, which confuses things.

- I got the impression that they were notable as pioneers of early rap, especially when one considers they seem to have been a record label in addition to a band. I do see scarcity of sources as a problem, but then a group whose heyday was the early 80s likely has sources that aren't easily found online.
