Talk:Dem Bow

Summary of the meaning of the lyrics of Shabba’s song completely inaccurate.

This article is, respectfully, garbage, and needs to be redone from the ground up

I've never commented on a talk page like this before, but I felt this article made it necessary. Sentences like this:

"In turn, this speaks to persisting assertions and disidentifications of cultural narratives and histories surrounding black sexual and gender identities."

What does this actually mean? There is so much academic mumbo-jumbo in what is ultimately an article about a simple reggaeton song. The article is confusingly organized and badly written throughout. Nowhere does it talk about what the content of the song actually is. Can someone do something to fix this mess? Map42892 (talk) 03:33, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

I understand all of the academic references but they don’t make a good article, as it appears to be lifted directly from an opinion - many of the points made are debatable at best and not at all encyclopedic. I don’t know enough about the subject to rewrite it though 87.244.73.38 (talk) 23:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

I came to the talk page to say basically the same thing. Article also lacks a neutral point of view, such as in the sentence: "Ranks' of rabid homophobia is erased and transformed into a sweet song about sensuality" Lesanol (talk) 20:45, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Needs Edits

The article almost entirely cites 2 sources written by one person, and borrows a lot of unnecessarily wordy language from those sources. It makes the article difficult to parse while not adding value. Language needs to be simplified, and sources not written by Wayne Marshall should be brought in. 64.135.129.135 (talk) 17:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
