False Links

The links to the Rolling Stone Music Guide and the Entertainment Weekly article are wrong. (Vlad the Impaler 18:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC))

I fixed the RS link. The EW link would not work for me, but when I removed it I found the Christgau link re-appeared and I decided I could live with that for now. If anyone finds a way to get the EW link back in, that would be awesome. The link refuses to work in the footnote as well. Here is the link:

I hope someone can figure this out, the review is very positive and important to substantiating this article's claims. Venicemenace 22:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Movies Referenced

does anybody know which movies they sample? ReverendG 01:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and Shaolin and Wu Tang of course :)

We can make this a featured article if we had background information and more information on its conception.Noahdabomb3 20:02, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

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? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laalaaa (talk • contribs) 12:59, December 31, (UTC)

If you ask me, the actual statement by AMG is stronger than the existing sentence. Paving the way for an artist's career is a much bigger deal than influencing one of his albums. I don't think the existing sentence is inaccurate, or even contradictory to the ideas expressed in the reference, but maybe the sentence could be rewritten closer to Steve Huey's specific language.

Audio samples box

I think the audio samples box would be better used (and possibly better Fair Use) to demonstrate the ideas discussed in the "Music" section rather than "Singles". Anyone else agree?
