It is only fair for me to review this, as you currently have quite a few noms pending! --K. Peake 20:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

Infobox looks good!
Change accidental listing of Tyga to Quavo, plus introduce him and Future as fellow rappers
"on hos upcoming album" → "on Migos' upcoming fourth studio album," with the wikilink
Shouldn't you mention the inspiration in the lead?
"his life while Quavo and Future rap about bringing" → "his life, while Quavo and Future rap to bring"
The body does not source critics praising the lyrics
Wikilink Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs instead, plus add a space before chart

Background

"who was considered a" → "who Pop Smoke considered a" to be specific

Not done Here in the US, 6ix9ine is considered a "snitch" for ratting out on his gang so he didn't spend the rest of his life in prison.

"The songs beat was" → "The song's beat was"
"because at the time the former was just" → "because at the time, he was only"
"put it on his upcoming album" → "put it on his hip hop trio Migos' upcoming fourth studio album" for accuracy, with the pipe
"and asked him if he could be" → "and expressed a desire to be" per "Shit, let me go in on it." 2
"but did not respond." → "but the rapper did not respond."

Music and lyrics

[6] should be solely at the end of the para, as it's used for the last two sentences
"and the chorus while Pop Smoke and Future rap" → "and the chorus, while Pop Smoke and Future both rap" with the pipe
"about it (Shh)."" → "about it (Shh)"." per MOS:QUOTE (the source does not have the punctuation inside speech marks)
"Future tries to honor" → "Future appears to honor" per the source
Cut down the amount quoted from Quavo per WP:OVERQUOTE; it does look like you are trying to "sing the song"

Release and reception

"debut posthumous studio album" → "posthumous debut studio album"
Order by thematic element; try to place them praising
"standouts and highlights." → "standouts and highlights, respectively."
[13][11] should be put in numerical order
"opined the song one of more" → "opined that the song is one of the"

Credits and personnel

Songwriter should come before programming per the Tidal order

Charts

Good

References

Copyvio score looks kind of decent at 37.1%; cutting down on Quavo lyrics quoted like I suggested will lower it from being close to a violation
Top job with the archiving for these and the layout is fine, consisting of fairly reliable sources!

Final comments and verdict

On hold until all of the issues are fixed, but shouldn't be long since this is a relatively short article! --K. Peake 08:04, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Peake Thanks for the comments. I'm so close to making Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon a GT! The Ultimate Boss (talk) 16:44, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Ultimate Boss ✓ Pass now; you accidentally removed the part about the instrumentation from the lead but I re-added for you! --K. Peake 18:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
