-I removed a line of text at the bottom of the Production section that said "Ju Boy A mix". I did not find any information on this from my search.

-Found this rap compilation from 808 Mafia and Metro Boomin. Is it official? If so, it could be added to the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG9RQuurvR4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antique Ruby (talk • contribs) 21:37, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

What is the best place to find pictures of artists / producers that can be uploaded to Wikipedia? I noticed several are missing them. Woodenpig (talk) 17:19, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Early Life

The early life section could be reworded, it doesnt flow together, and some of the facts just seem to come out of nowhere, would do it myself but LOI keeps me back.Thanks, DANIELTHEDON (talk) 20:10, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on January 14th, 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

It's not easy for anonymous editors to fix violations of WP:NOTCENSORED since certain automated filters were designed to comply with a rule that anonymous users are forbidden from swearing. This is itself a NOTCENSORED violation but if I say as much, I'll get a lecture on how anonymous vandals have cost me the right to swear.

In the "Musical style" section's subsection "Producer tags," a sensitive editor left readers believing that the first tag mentioned, in its entirety, is "Metro Boomin want some more." This is not correct; this 5-word phrase has never been used as a tag in any song. The correct version has the N-word, spelled "a" at the end instead of "er," and leaving this information out is blatant censorship. Responding users are cautioned that declining this request without first attempting to confirm or disprove it is a violation of several policies. 2600:1700:9AD0:4AB0:ECA9:C750:8C74:A5FC (talk) 22:30, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done Rather than being sensitive, may be it had something to do with difficulty of sourcing it. hemantha (brief) 04:42, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Associated acts

There's no way all these acts are associated. I give it two days for some reliable sources to support these claims before the parameter is cleared. Giudelines for associated acts. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
