Beat jackin'??

I think that the following two sentences need to be verified since they include accusations that as far as I know are not real: "The group has caused controversy throughout the years, mainly when foreign hip-hop artists accused Active Member for illegally using musical compositions of their own (a practice known as beat jackin', which is rather frowned upon in hip-hop). However, formal lawsuits never occured." I know none foreign hip hop artist that has accused Active Member for beat jackin', and even though is an accusation commonly made (and possibly true) by greek fans of other greek hip hop groups, I do not think that this should stay here unless backed up by some verifiable source.--daydreamer 18:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No proof provided yet, therefore I've removed the above mentioned in italics part.--daydreamer 16:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should be locked and accessed only by the creator to protect from vandalism.On the other hand I think there is much more to be said for this group.

I see no signs of repeated vandalism, imo there is no need for this article to be locked.--daydreamer 15:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok daydreamer.one of the things I propose is in the discography to use the name of albums as it is in the Low Bap Foundations main page: Live/Remixes Diamartiria :Protest Ston kairo tou allokotou Fovou :In times of weird fear Meres Paraxenes Thavmasies meres :Weird days Beautiful days Gia t Aderfia pou chathikan noris :Dedicated to the lost Brothers Mithi tou valtou :Myths from the moor Fiera 02/12/02 Perasma st' akroneiro :Passage to the edge of a dream To megalo kolpo :the big game Akou mana :Listen Up, Mother Prosfigas :Refugee Apo ton topo ths fughs :From run away land Sthn Ora twn skiwn :In the hour of the shadows Big Game to Fiera Blah Blasphemy Blah Blasphemy_10

and more to come!!!

Rewrite + Sources

Looks like the news mentions for the subject is almost all in Greek. Someone who knows Greek needs to rewrite the page. It currently has no references and is not very encyclopedic. CerealKillerYum (talk)

Recently proposed deletion

I got a notice that this article has been proposed for deletion because it has been "tagged as unverified for almost a decade; I still see nothing that proves notability." The tag has been already removed, but, in order to prevent this from happening again in the future, here are some arguments concerning notability:

The group is notable for creating their own distinctive hip-hop sound called low bap and is also mentioned in the Wikipedia article about low bap.
Several YouTube videos with over 1 million views. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBRx60XfCeA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTj4rKAsNJk, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiFdLq9ZZD8
Extensive discography (as also listed in the article), live shows, television appearances, etc.
Active Member released one of the two first hip hop records in Greece in 1993, as also mentioned in Greek hip hop
For what is worth, the group also has an extensive article in greek Wikipedia: https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Member

I would think this settles notability. Verification, on the other hand, is more difficult since the group is past its prime-time (which was roughly between 1995-2005). A lot of pages are down and links are broken. But no wild claims are made in the article and the existing references provide enough verification support for the article in its current form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebertakis (talk • contribs) 14:35, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
