Rap Content Separation Strategy

Last updated on May 17, 2026

Rap content is currently mixed into the broader system, which makes it harder to navigate due to its specificity and volume. This task involves designing a separate entry point or page for rap lyrics while keeping them connected to existing song and artist CPTs. The goal is not to isolate the content, but to give it a clearer identity and improve accessibility without disrupting the overall relational structure.

This task documents the evolution of the rap content architecture within the site. Initially, rap content was separated into three distinct pages: Rap Artists, Rap Songs, and Rap Lyrics, each filtered via taxonomy conditions to isolate rap-related entries from the broader music system. This was done to improve clarity and highlight rap content independently from the main music archive structure. However, after reviewing scale and maintenance complexity, it became clear that rap content volume does not justify three independent pages. The system has therefore shifted toward a single consolidated “Rap Music” hub page, which will render Rap Artists at the top, Rap Songs in the middle, and Rap Lyrics at the bottom using shared query logic and taxonomy filters. The original separation work remains valuable as a structural experiment and can be reactivated if rap content expands in the future, but the current implementation prioritizes simplicity, maintainability, and unified presentation within a single navigation entry point.
