Sourcing

Leaving a list of source here, since people keep removing it from the article, and no one's bothered writing much yet.

Large amount of text copy/pasted from album notes

We don't randomly drop large portion of the liner notes in the article like we currently do. That's not what encyclopedias do. It presents nothing that can't be paraphrased in ones own words. It is sloppily done. It needs to be removed. Sergecross73 msg me 16:34, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done - I agree with you Sergecross73, there's no good reason for it to be included in the article. It'd be best to remove it as soon as possible.DovahDuck DovahDuck 17:00, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Additionally, it should be noted that there was never a consensus for inclusion, so it needs to be OUT of the article until/unless there is support for inclusion, contrary to what the person who reverted my removal seemed to be suggesting.

Michael Jackson with the Weeknd?

Someone changed the featuring credits to the song "Don't Matter to Me" and listed the Weeknd as also featured. Are the vocals from Michael Jackson supplemented by the Weeknd? I know they sound alike. But where the source? Kenny Saxton (talk) 12:24, 30 June, 2018 (UTC)

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

The following section should be omitted entirely:

"Following the release of Drake's new album, widely known as the Album of the Century, an order of Arachnida was named by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, due to the icon that is Drake and his influence: the eight legged, long bodied arachnid with an extended tail and sting was named the scorpion."

This is factually incorrect and there are no sources to verify this. 2600:8803:7A00:2140:B18C:76FC:F771:2F4A (talk) 21:16, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The release of "Don't Matter to Me" has seemingly been cancelled, as it's been removed from radio add dates for July 10th from the website. Cash Money / Republic is now solely pushing "In My Feelings" to US rhythmic (https://www.allaccess.com/top40-rhythmic/future-releases) and contemporary hit radio (https://www.allaccess.com/top40-mainstream/future-releases) --108.6.192.87 (talk) 20:16, 9 July 2018 (UTC) 108.6.192.87 (talk) 20:16, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change "It was supported by the singles "God's Plan", "Nice for What", "I'm Upset", "Don't Matter to Me" and "In My Feelings". The former two singles reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 prior to the album's release."

To: "The album was supported by five singles, including "God's Plan", "Nice for What", and "In My Feelings", which reached number-on on the US Billboard Hot 100."

Summary of reviews from HotNewHipHop

Should the claim that "Scorpion received lukewarm reviews from critics" (sourced here) be included in the critical reception section? It is the only source cited here that makes this claim, and the article does not cite any reviews to back it up. Additionally, Metacritic is already cited as saying that the album received "generally favorable reviews," and unlike the HotNewHipHop source, it actually cites reviews (26, to be exact).

@Chasewc91: HotNewHipHop have been use in multiple hip hop-related articles and nobody seems to have a problem with the website. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 06:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mob Ties

Is this really a single? I couldn't find it on AllAcess and the only source that has reported on it being released is Hip Hop-N More. Its not that reliable, doesn't provide a release date, and it seems unlikely an actual Drake single would be covered by only one source.--N Ø 15:00, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has added a source to a radio release date so I will leave it in.--N Ø
