- Comment: I wanted to note as the article creator, that I decided to create this article based on its appearance very high in WP:TOPRED, which among other things, has helped to identify areas of bias in wikipedia coverage. In the area of popular young black rap artists, we have been falling short, certainly as compared to sketchy indie bands from Brooklyn with low record sales but coverage in sites like Pitchfork. Of course I also determined that the subject appeared to also be notable before creating the article.--Milowent • hasspoken 04:49, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
