Crenshaw (mixtape)
[edit]- that Nipsey Hussle released the Crenshaw mixtape for free online, along with limited edition 1,000 copies priced at $100 that sold out within 24 hours?
Created by STATicVapor (talk). Self nominated at 16:47, 13 October 2013 (UTC).
- The hook is 200+ characters. Needs to be less than that as a requirement of DYK. Proudbolsahye (talk) 03:19, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- Done It did seem a bit long to me. STATic message me! 03:33, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that Nipsey Hussle released the Crenshaw mixtape for free online with limited edition copies worth $100 that were sold out within 24 hours?
Provided ALT1. Tell me what you think. I think its a better hook. Easier to read. Straight to the point. Proudbolsahye (talk) 07:47, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- Looks okay, but the interesting part was that it was the first album/mixtape sold for $100 dollars each, mixtapes are usually just released free online and sometimes sold on iTunes or limited edition physical copies for a normal album price or a bit cheaper. I think the $100 dollar thing should be mentioned somewhere, as that is the significant part of it. STATic message me! 12:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- I changed it slightly and then adjusted the hook at the top. Since we say he sold out, we should state how many copies there were. It is still under the 200 character limit, thanks for taking the time to help me with this, it is my first DYK afterall. Also since names of albums are italics should we make the subject bolded italics, instead of just bolded? STATic message me! 21:09, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
No need for italics. This first DYK attempt is not bad at all. Once you get the hang of it, you'll have many DYK's in the future. I personally have 5+ being nominated as we speak. Anyways, this is article is just ghetto fabulous! ;) Long enough. New enough. Hooks cited in the article with an appropriate RS. I approve the ALT1 hook. Good to go! Congrats on your first DYK.
