Nomination

Is anybody willing to discuss my Featured Article declaration?Noahdabomb3 04:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey -- I'd like to help make this happen. I'm reviewing the objections or comments at the "featured article candidates" page, and I will be editing the article as best I can in coming days. After going over the existing article, it seems like all the raw material is here -- tons of information, pictures, quotations and citations. We just need to shape it a little bit and polish this diamond up. Evidence indicates that this article's stature is merciless, like a terrorist hard to capture.

There is so much good stuff in here, amazing work getting all this information. Venicemenace 22:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Lyric?

One of the things I really like about the (FA-status) Illmatic article is the use of a lyrical excerpt. I'm wondering if that would be appropriate here as well, and if so, which verse should be used. Raekwon on "C.R.E.A.M."? One of GZA's verses? Masta Killa on "Chessboxin'"? Venicemenace 07:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Influence

"All Music Guide lists Nas' Illmatic, the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, Mobb Deep's The Infamous and Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt among the records of this era that reflected the Wu-Tang Clan's influence."

AMG doesn't mention any album names in the review, only those artists, and says 36 Chambers "paved the way" for these albums rather than influenced. Should this sentence still be used?
