A majority of this information is incorrect! He did not oversee the production of those artists. Do not give credit to someone that did not rightfully earn it. He's probably most known for getting people to pay for verses and then he takes off with their money. Terrible, 2603:8081:6804:3C29:78ED:EAB8:FB49:459 (talk) 00:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Issues with Neutrality/Puffery, Sourcing, Promotional Tone

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This currently reads more like a press release or a fan-site bio than an encyclopedic entry. There are several significant violations of core Wikipedia policies that ought to be addressed.

1. WP:NPOV and Peacock Terms
The article is currently heavy on "peacocking" (see WP:PEACOCK). Phrases like "The talent and production... has been admired by a large part of the underground," and "one of the crowning achievements of 'horrorcore'" are subjective and non-neutral. Claims that the subject has a "mastery" of specific styles or a "very distinct and unique sound" need to be attributed to a specific, notable critic or removed entirely to maintain a neutral point of view (WP:NPOV).

2. WP:RS and WP:V (Reliable Sources)
The sourcing for this article is highly problematic: Primary/Self-Sourced Interviews: References 6, 8, and 9 are listed as "personal" or "phone" interviews. These are not published, third-party sources and constitute original research (WP:NOR). We cannot verify information based on private conversations. Unreliable/Retail Links: References 10, 12, and 13 link to Discogs and Amazon. Per WP:RETAIL and WP:RS, user-generated databases and storefronts are not acceptable sources for justifying a subject's importance or biographical claims. Sub-charting: The mention of the Billboard "Top Internet Album Sales" chart needs context. Highlighting a niche sub-chart without mentioning its significance can be a form of "puffery."

3. WP:NOTPROMO and WP:FANCRUFT
The "Production work" section contains an itemized list of specific hardware (Akai MPC 4000, Roland TR-808, etc.). This borders on WP:FANCRUFT and gives the article a promotional, gear-review tone rather than an encyclopedic one (WP:NOTPROMO). Unless the specific equipment used is the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources, this should be trimmed.

4. WP:NOTDIR (Indiscriminate Lists)
The "Underground projects" section is an exhaustive list of nearly 40 cassette tapes. Per WP:NOTDIR, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of every item ever produced by an artist. We should consider trimming this list to only include notable releases that have received independent coverage, or moving the detailed discography to a separate list if notability can be proven for the individual items.
