About.com - Best of Hip Hop (2015)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

Hmm, I wonder if rap.about.com should be considered a standalone, genre-specific source (eligible) or just a section of about.com (ineligible)?

I would consider the website to be ineligible, because it's kinda like Wikipedia. However, Henry Adaso is a music journalist from Houston, Texas (info received from a quick Google search). Now I'm not sure what your stances are on a sole music journalist list, but considering other lists that's made it onto the AM listings, it would say it reaches eligibility levels.

So far, I'm only including genre lists from single writers if they are from books.
