Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
As an entrepreneur, Lupe is the CEO of 1st and 15th Entertainment. "chief executive officer (CEO)" should be spelt out.

His latest album, is a potentially dated dated statement, see WP:DATED

but his father still remained prevalent in his life. "an important part of his life" is better.

'"After school, my father would come and get us and take us out into the world—one day, we're listening to N.W.A, the next day we're listening to Ravi Shankar, the next day, he's teaching us how to shoot an AK-47, the next day, we're at karate class, the next day, we're in Chinatown...". Quotes should not contain wikilinks, see MOS:QUOTE

In sixth grade, he went to live with his father full-time in Harvey, Illinois. here sixth grade should be wikilinked, many English readers are not familiare with the US education system.

In 2001, Fiasco co-founded with Charles "Chilly" Patton 1st & 15th Entertainment (or "FNF", named after the traditional twice-monthly paycheck dates), Better would be "In 2001, Fiasco co-founded, with Charles "Chilly" Patton, 1st & 15th Entertainment (or "FNF", named after the traditional twice-monthly paycheck dates)," but it might be better recast to avoid an overly complex sentence.

Otherwise prose is good, sufficiently compliant with key elements of the manual of style

Poltical views, a summary should be in the lead, see WP:LEAD

OK, all of those points are addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:09, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
References appear to be RS, statements are adequately supported by citations, no evidence of OR.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Thorough coverage, no sign of trivia
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Neural POV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
No edit warring
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Images are correctly licensed, with suitable captions.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:27, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
