Hi Gdshordy. I'll review this. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 06:38, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

This article's tone doesn't appear to match the tone expected on Wikipedia. Some concerning lines include:

• as well as listing the craziest recording session moments
• "Real hitman", in his own words
• atmospheric production - not sure, but this might be subjective?
• make a pretty woman his source of inspiration - the source reads "pretty woman" as "bad bitch", and I'm not sure if the replacement is encyclopedic enough; it might be better to just put "bad bitch" in quote marks
• Sk8star rapping about money while Tezzus raps about sex and money
• Sk8star also "hustle raps" throughout the track, which is similar to that of Lil Baby to the top - clarify what's being said here
• Lyrically, he raps about getting violence
• the track sees Sk8star rap on a trap beat yet once again from Taurus - clarify what's being said here
• Sonically, the track features twinkling piano keys hanging in the background - too visual when talking about sound

I noticed that too. That'd be a barrier for GA. @Gdshordy: Pinging to make sure the nom has seen this. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 11:07, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for showing me this. I will work on it asap. Thank you for reviewing it and giving me an opportunity I’ll fix it up. Gdshordy (talk) 17:08, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

So far, I fixed up some of the writing issues, with the background and recording, I will do overview and songs in half an hour when I come back Gdshordy (talk) 20:37, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

@Gdshordy: Reminder ping for the nom. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 23:16, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Gdshordy (talk) 23:43, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

So far I’m almost done with 1a, I will work on 1b asap and after that I think we should be good to go @Alexeyevitch Gdshordy (talk) 04:27, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

[...] with Serge Selenou of Pitchfork rated the album a 7.2 out of 10 - "rated" should be "rating"
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	was also another session that Sk8star labeled as crazy → was also another session that Sk8star labeled as "crazy" - I think quotemarks are correct here to denote his opinion, and these aren't MOS:SCAREQUOTES was reportedly ill from the flu - "reportedly" is an unsual word choice. It's also listed in MOS:AWW (reported). "Said" might work. Up to you.
