I'll review this. One of my favourite albums. StewdioMACK (talk) 16:37, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]
  • Can the lead be expanded a little bit? Perhaps with a quote from the legacy section?
  • Nice job with what's there, though.

Recording

[edit]
  • Should be a comma after "Q-Tip later commented".
  • "Although claiming" should be "Although claiming that".
  • "Q-Tip was the only Tribe Called Quest member present". Change this to either "Q-Tip was the only group member" or "the only member of A Tribe Called Quest", I'm not sure if we should be taking the "A" off the name.
  • Should be a comma after "Group member Phife Dawg later admitted" as well.

Critical reception

[edit]
  • The third paragraph seems more appropriate for the "Legacy" section, seeing it appears to consist entirely of retrospective reviews.
  • Maybe link to here when mentioning the perfect review from The Source. Also, maybe change "perfect" to "five-mic", considering the honour is pretty well-known in the hip-hop community.
  • Good paraphrasing.

Legacy and influence

[edit]
  • Should probably just be called "Legacy", to be consistent with other music good articles.
  • One instance of "Instinctive" is not capitalised and should be.

    Pass or Fail:


Conclusion

[edit]

Looking good. I'd just like to see a little bit of work on the lead and some minor prose issues and then this should be good. For now I'm putting it on hold. StewdioMACK (talk) 17:06, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing. I've made the requested changes (however, I added a "Retrospect" heading above the third paragraph in reception). Please let me know if there's anything else. --Blastmaster11 (talk) 16:08, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
