Source is behind paywall, which isn't ideal - can it be sourced somewhere else?
  • 2 "Wiggins, his brother guitarist D'wayne Wiggins, and drummer Timothy Christian Riley each played several instruments for the album.[2][3]"

  • 3 "In 2007, Vibe included the album in its list of the 150 Essential Albums of the Vibe Era (1992–2007).[4]"

  • 4 ""Gangsta Groove" adapts hip hop's "gangsta" trope in a humane story,[5]"
Source says:"another hopped on the "Gangsta Groove" bandwagon while putting across a nonexploitative, recognizably human story" :)
Source not available to this reviewer - as the other sources so far have matched, I'd be happy to take this one on faith...
  • 6 "Other songs are characterized by funk grooves, including "I Couldn't Keep It to Myself", "Gangsta Groove", "Fun",[7]"

  • 7 "Along with Mint Condition, Tony! Toni! Toné! were also one of the few mainstream R&B acts to play with live instruments.[8]"
Source says: "One reason is that many groups are blending live instruments with electronic sampling, a mainstay of hip-hop records.

"Groups like Mint Condition and Tony Toni Tone don't just sample their music, they actually play it," Jam says. "There's a return to musicianship.""

Both sources behind paywall, which isn't ideal - can it be sourced somewhere else?
  • 10 "It ultimately peaked at number 70 and spent nine weeks on the chart.[12][13]"
This is a bit of a problem - the sources are copies of the chart, nine weeks appart, But I'm not sure that necessarily implies that the song was also in the chart in between...
Source matches.
  • 12 "having been frustrated with their limited time onstage and Jackson's frequent show cancellations.[15]"
Source matches.
  • 13 "|description = The rhythmic, uptempo song incorporates classic soul and New jack swing styles.[16]"
Source matches (close enough for me)
  • 14 "A tour staffer recounted that they "left the tour with no advance notice" and "were extremely unprofessional."[17]"
Source is behind paywall, which isn't ideal - can it be sourced somewhere else?
Bit of a problem here - I can't see where any of the sources support the 'world' bit of the tour - am I missing something?

That's the end of the spotchecker - there are things to look at and I'm not sure if the delegates will accept this as a thorough spotcheck given the number of articles that I don't have access to.  :( Fayedizard (talk) 18:13, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
