I'm God

[edit]
Nominator(s): Skyshiftertalk 19:27, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In 2007, Clams Casino was a random guy, producing random instrumentals for people to rap over it. He didn't get much attention until he got in touch with Lil B in 2009 and produced his album 6 Kiss. One track that immediately got attention was "I'm God", with its ethereal production sampling Imogen Heap. Unexpectedly, Clams Casino and Lil B would be cited as the pioneers of the cloud rap subgenre, with "I'm God" being cited as "cloud rap's seminal track" and "the birth of cloud rap" in the following years. However, it took over a decade for it to be released officially, due to its sample usage. Over these years where Clams Casino tried to get the sample cleared, the song received a large cult following on the Internet. After eleven years, "I'm God" was officially released in 2020 with Imogen Heap properly credited. The article is pretty short, but I believe it meets all FA criteria. Thank you!

Comments

[edit]
  • ""I'm God" is an instrumental track by American producer Clams Casino and British singer Imogen Heap" - if it's got vocals then it isn't an instrumental
    • Will respond below
  • "incorporates clips from Perdues dans New York"=> "incorporates clips from the French film Perdues dans New York"
    • Done
  • "Volpe said he didn't find "I'm God" unusual" => "Volpe said that he did not find "I'm God" unusual"
    • Done
  • "He sent the instrumental to different artists" - you just said it sampled Heap's vocals, therefore it wasn't an instrumental
    • Will respond below
  • ""I'm God" is an instrumental cloud rap song" - I know I keep mentioning this, but it can't be "an instrumental song". By definition a song has vocals and an instrumental doesn't
    • Will respond below
  • "when it still wasn't available" => "when it still was not available"
    • Done
  • "with Internet users stating the song's impact while they had depression" - this doesn't really work grammatically. Maybe replace "stating" with "describing"
    • Done
  • That's what I got -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

[edit]
  • Can you explain why Red Bull and Vice are high-quality reliable sources for this article?
  • Spin reference should have via=Google Books
    • Done
  • The composition section and first paragraph of the reception and legacy section use quotations for almost every sentence; cut this down to meet MOS:QUOTE
    • Reduced some
  • Clams Casino Productions is listed in the infobox but not in the article text
    • Done
  • 4:37 is listed in the infobox but not in the article text
    • Done
  • I didn't do spotchecks

Examples of sources that seem useful but aren't cited:

Because of the overquotation and that there could easily be over a 20% increase in the article's sources, I am going to oppose for now per WP:FACR 1c as I don't think the article is currently "a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature". Best, Heartfox (talk) 02:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Thank you for your comments! They are in progress. I did a quick skim through the sources and many of them wouldn't add substantial content to the article; many of them seem to mention "I'm God" in passing. However, I'll look at them more closely later and see which of them will add substantial content to the article. Skyshiftertalk 09:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have analyzed the sources presented and all of them refer to Lil B's version. This is not a problem per se; I've included this source, for example, which lists "I'm God" as a Lil B song, but because it is a list of the "Best Rap Beats", it focus on the production of the song, so it is suitable for inclusion. The sources you provided also say something about the production, though not anything substantial, honestly. The MusicRadar source says the production is "sultry, downtempo", and the Guardian said that it is "dreamy, diaphanous", only. Either way, I'll see how I can add them to the article, while at the same time fixing the quote issues. I'll also add a sentence or two to Reception talking about the influence of Lil B's version. Skyshiftertalk 19:39, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Heartfox: Some of the sources have been added and I tried to paraphrase what I could; there were some sentences that I think would divert too much of their original meaning if paraphrased. Let me know if you have any more suggestions! Skyshiftertalk 20:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Heartfox: would you have any more comments regarding the article? Skyshiftertalk 22:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for incorporating some of the sources. There are still a few issues with overquotation. In the second paragraph of the composition section, for example, there are more quotes than sentences. Heartfox (talk) 03:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Heartfox: I've reduced a few more quotes. Skyshiftertalk 17:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Heartfox: sorry for pinging again! Everything has been addressed; I'd like to ask if the changes are sufficient for you to support the article or, at least, strike the oppose. Skyshiftertalk 12:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for my absence, this passses the source review. Thank you for putting together this article on an obscure but important song. Heartfox (talk) 12:14, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support from Draken Bowser

[edit]

Huh, both are mostly unknown to me. Ok, ok, I've heard Hide and Seek and Derulo's Whatcha Say, but who hasn't? Comments below:

  • Lead: "real name Michael Volpe" - is this necessary considering it's immediately restated in the body? "being unofficially uploaded by fans" - This is a bit unclear compared to the the body, since the lead is quite short I think there's room for a slight expansion.
    • Stating that Clams Casino's name is Michael Volpe is needed in some way, because I refer to him as Volpe throughout the lead; changed to "reuploaded", unsure how to clarify it better.
  • Background and release: "He considers its vocal sample the main aspect he likes from the song." - This is close enough to the source that I'd prefer just quoting him. Preference: "but had encountered issues as many people were involved, since 'Just for Now' washad been released through a major label."
    • Rephrased; changed.

That's it! I'm trying to make sense of one of my c/e notes, if I manage to find out what I intended I'll get back to you. Regards. Draken Bowser (talk) 16:58, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Draken Bowser: would you have any more comments regarding the article? Skyshiftertalk 22:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing I'm wondering is whether we might put something even bolder as the first sentence under "Reception and legacy". Something like: "'I'm God' is considered highly influential in the cloud rap genre." But, that's just food for thought. Draken Bowser (talk) 14:18, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Joeyquism

[edit]

Because this still needs reviews and I love this song, I figured I'd take a stab at a review. Marking territory here for now, should be back in a bit. joeyquism (talk) 11:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to put down an oppose for now. The prose is undeniably of GA-quality, but I feel that it misses the level of a FA. Below are some things I've noted; feel free to refuse suggestions with justification.

  • I'm noticing that above, others have noted the wording of Clams Casino, real name Michael Volpe. I feel that you could eliminate this by introducing him in the first sentence as "American producer Michael Volpe, known professionally as Clams Casino, and British singer Imogen Heap." You could also use this wording in the first sentence of the background section. Let me know your thoughts on this.
  • Volpe then sent the track to American rapper Lil B, who rapped over it. The final result appeared on Lil B's debut album, 6 Kiss (2009). - Can likely be combined/edited to be something like "Volpe sent the track to American rapper Lil B; the instrumental is featured on a song of the same name on Lil B's debut album, 6 Kiss (2009)." Feel free to experiment with the wording, but I believe one good sentence would suffice.
  • The sample is Volpe's favorite aspect of the song. - Tone sort of conflicts with the following sentence (Volpe said he did not find "I'm God" unusual or important and was indifferent to it at first.) Maybe try playing around with the placement of this sentence in the paragraph it appears in, or including this information in a different sentence. I might just be acting pedantic here.
  • Lil B then recorded his vocals over it. The final result appeared on Lil B's debut solo studio album, 6 Kiss, released on December 22, 2009. This was his first ever collaboration. - Combine these sentences - something like "Lil B then recorded his vocals over it, and the final result appeared on his debut solo studio album, 6 Kiss, released on December 22, 2009, marking his first-ever collaboration" would suffice. I'm noticing a lot of shorter sentences that make the reading experience choppier. Will expand upon this later.
  • Originally, Volpe didn't consider the need to clear the "Just for Now" sample because he wasn't focused on the business aspects and didn't anticipate earning money from his work - The term "business aspects" is a bit vague. I feel that you can omit that part.
  • Volpe said that Heap was interested as long as she was credited; Volpe said she enjoyed "I'm God". - Change the second "Volpe" to "he".
  • On April 24, 2020, the song received an official release as part of Volpe's Instrumental Relics mixtape after he got the rights to sample "Just for Now". Heap is credited alongside him. - Combine these; something like "On April 24, 2020, the song was officially released as part of Volpe's Instrumental Relics mixtape following his acquisition of the rights to sample 'Just for Now', with Heap receiving credit alongside him."
  • Simpson described the drums as "sludgy". - This is the first mention of Simpson in the article, should be "Paul Simpson of AllMusic".
    I went ahead and also fixed the following mention of Simpson in the sentence "Simpson said that the vocals, which bring a deep, cavernous feel, were rearranged with a meticulousness akin to Philip Glass", though I should note that this reads a bit strangely too. I think something like "Simpson said that the vocals brought a deep, cavernous feel, and noted that they were rearranged with a meticulousness akin to Philip Glass" would flow better. joeyquism (talk) 13:37, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Donne Skyshiftertalk 11:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "I'm God" received a cult following on the Internet, being one of the first known productions by Volpe. - I wouldn't say the track's status as one of Volpe's earliest known works is the primary factor contributing to its cult following. Perhaps this information is not entirely pertinent to the paragraph's focus either? Let me know what you think; I may just be missing some context here.
    • My intention was not to say that one thing influenced the other; that's just my bad prose acting up again. Reordered, though I don't know if that fixes the issue? I'd still want to say that this was "one of the first known productions by Volpe" somewhere however. Skyshiftertalk 13:28, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This is better, but I think that "one of the first known productions by Volpe" should go somewhere in the background section; maybe as part of the sentence "I'm God" was produced around April 2009"? Apologies for not having this insight earlier - I did this review first thing in the morning, even before I'd had a chance to make my coffee lol. joeyquism (talk) 13:40, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think this sentence is more related to reception than background. Skyshiftertalk 11:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Red Bull's Cunningham called it one of the most expansive hits from the era of hip-hop's blogosphere - Wikilink "blogosphere"
  • An unofficial music video for "I'm God" which uses clips from the French film Perdues dans New York (1989), uploaded before the song's official release, had 25 million views by May 2020. - Uses too many clauses; a winding sentence. Maybe remove the commas or rephrase?
    Looking better! Though, I'd also mention the fact that it was uploaded to YouTube. joeyquism (talk) 13:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, don't wikilink it - I noticed that it's already wikilinked in the paragraph above. joeyquism (talk) 13:46, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Done Skyshiftertalk 11:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The video became synonymous with the track. Its comment section contains users mourning the death of people close to them. - I feel as if the information in the first sentence can be included in the preceding sentence; similarly, I think you can move the information in the second sentence to the following sentence.
  • According to Balram, the song received a cult following partly due to two suicide stories being related to it - Uses passive voice; something like "in part because of its association with two suicide stories" would probably be better.
  • David Higgs, who referred to it in 4chan posts - I recognize that this was a suicide note after reading the source, but I think that this can be made clearer by saying "who referred to the song in an apparent suicide note posted to 4chan".

@Skyshifter: Apologies for the long block of text and the opposition vote, especially after so many weeks of this discussion laying dormant. I understand that you put a lot of hard work into creating this article, which I must clarify that I do appreciate greatly - I really love both this song and its sample, and I'm very grateful that you've given the topic so much attention and care. I'm definitely willing to go over it again once these are fixed, and I am open to discussion with you regarding any of the points that I made above. Also, feel free to call out any pedantry that you may have seen from me here. Thank you again for your dedication to this article, and I hope to hear back from you soon. joeyquism (talk) 12:53, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joeyquism: thank you for your review! All applied. I'm quite bad at prose as a non-native speaker, but I'll try my best to improve. Skyshiftertalk 13:28, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Skyshifter: Looking a lot better, thank you for the quick edits! As for prose, you're doing a wonderful job regardless of fluency; the points you make come across clearly, and your writing style is engaging. That being said, I have just a few more comments:
  • Originally, Volpe didn't... - I would avoid using contractions like "didn't" and "wasn't". There isn't really much of a rule against this on here that I'm aware of seeing as their usage is undoubtedly proper English, but in an academic context I feel they seem less formal and more colloquial.
  • As the years went by, Volpe tried to have the sample cleared for an official release, but encountered issues as many people were involved, since "Just for Now" had been released through a major label. - "As the years went by" should be substituted for something less fanciful; try "In the following years". Also, I'm not sure if "as many people were involved" is necessary; perhaps cut to "but encountered issues as "Just for Now" had been released through a major label"
  • Done
  • In 2019, Heap's team opened up to an official release. - "Heap's team indicated they were open to..."
  • Done
  • Schube of Complex said that the track had been pseudoviral for multiple years by 2016. - I'm not sure what "pseudoviral" means in this case. I would implement the quote instead: "pseudo-viral for a number of years".
  • Done
I won't scrutinize any further; the rest of the article is some great work, and at this point I'm just voicing my overly analytical opinions. Thank you again! joeyquism (talk) 14:14, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gog the Mild

[edit]

Recusing to review. So far I have only looked at the lead.

  • In the lead you don't say when it was originally produced, nor when it was sent to Lil B, which causes confusion. That first paragraph has just two date in it. The first is "It was officially released on April 24, 2020". So a reader will reasonably assume that it originated around that date. Then "the instrumental is featured on a song of the same name on Lil B's debut album, 6 Kiss (2009)." As this is 11 years earlier one is left thinking that the instrumental originated on 6 Kiss and was copied on to "I'm God". I assume this is not what happened. It which case the lead needs tweaking to make this clear. Adding the two dates I mention at the start may do the trick.
  • "Volpe released "I'm God" unofficially in 2011 and again in 2012 as part of the Instrumentals 2 mixtape." What is an 'unofficial release'; what was it about the release of Instrumentals 2 that made it 'unofficial'?
  • "it received an official release in 2020". And, how does it differ from an "official release"?
  • "being unofficially reuploaded by fans". Guess which word is not clear? In addition, why would it need to be "reuploaded"?
    • It is unofficial because it was reuploaded by fans, not by Clams Casino himself. This honestly seems fine from the context? Clarified that it was reuploaded to social media. Skyshiftertalk 20:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The paragraphs break in an odd, to me, place. Between "... compilation" and "A cloud rap ..." seems more natural.
  • The lead is supposed to make sense when read on its own. Currently it doesn't, IMHO. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:41, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from PerfectSoundWhatever

[edit]

Hey, I'm trying to get more involved with FA, so here's some comments after a readthrough. This is one of my favourite songs as well.

Lead

  • Would prefer "song" to "track" in lead sentence. A "song" is a musical composition, while a "track" is a specific rendition of it, so it feels more precise to use song here.
  • "through Clams Casino Productions" This is not a label label, correct? Should say self-released in my opinion per WP:BLUE. Also, why only mention the streaming label? It was physically released via Second City Prints (per [4], [5])
    • Yes, "Clams Casino Productions LLC" is a label. It is not the same as a self-release; that was in 2011 when he just uploaded "I'm God" to file-sharing services. I am unsure if the physical release is relevant enough to be mentioned in the lead. Skyshiftertalk 20:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Can you explain why Clams Casino Productions LLC is a label in the usual sense? What has been released under it, under than "I'm God". I often see "label" names formatted similar to this when its really just a self-release. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 02:35, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "unofficially in 2011 and again in 2012" per Gog the Mild, I dislike how this reads. Required context is not provided.
  • "it received an official release in 2020" -> "it was officially released in 2020"
  • "'I'm God' is considered a highly influential cloud rap instrumental" -> something like "'I'm God' went on to be influential to the cloud rap genre"
  • Overall, I find the lead's prose to be rather clunky and lacks the flow I would expect from a FA. It's hard to suggest specific changes when it feels like many sentences need a complete restructuring. A round through GOCE would help.

Background and release

Composition

Reception and legacy

Overall

I have to Oppose based on prose-related issues: the prose is currently not "engaging and of a professional standard", especially the lead and background sections. This is not an exhaustive list of issues, as I was only providing comments for prose issues I felt were the most pressing. Hopefully these comments were useful, and good luck! — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 22:43, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Skyshifter, this nomination has been open for more than two months. If it's going to take weeks to potentially address the prose concerns, then it should be archived and the content worked on off-nom. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 11:39, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The prose looks a lot better, and my jargon/grammar issues are mostly resolved. I'll support for now. I still feel strongly about the overcite issue but it isn't enough to oppose over.

I have a further 2 suggestions you may want to take.

  • Since cloud rap is such a niche genre, I think the article would benefit from a brief explanation of cloud rap in the background section. For example, explain key characteristics, formation, and history. Like 2-3 sentences.
    • It's hard to do that, as "I'm God" basically originated cloud rap. Either way, I don't think explaining the genre is needed; it is linked in case a reader is interested, and the song's composition is already explained in two paragraphs. Skyshiftertalk 18:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • RYM is imperfect but probably represents the best music genre categorization on the web. There are many pre-09 cloud rap releases on its page, for example You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack (2008). I know a lot of people consider cLOUDDEAD (2001) cloud rap too, and I sort of agree from what I remember of it. What I'm saying is that I disagree with the clear-cut "I'm God invented cloud rap". I don't see why contextualizing the genre's origins wouldn't be useful to the article. It just feels like a non-sequitur when reading, when the influence to cloud rap is discussed in "legacy", but the topic is never introduced in "background". — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 20:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm with @PerfectSoundWhatever in not understanding why it would be hard to include a little backround about what cloud rap is. As somebody who knows almost nothing about the subject area, I've found much of this article hard to follow, with a high density of jargon and assumed knowledge. Every time you add some background information, you make it more approachable to people like me, who don't have that assumed knowledge.
        Surprisingly, WP:FACR doesn't (that I can find) say anything about being "understandable to an appropriately broad audience", but that is in WP:GACR, and I assume that anything required by GA is also required by FA. RoySmith (talk) 21:14, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        PS TIL RYM. RoySmith (talk) 23:21, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is "based music"? The article should have a brief contextualization of this. "Based music" is not even mentioned at the redirect target

Comments by RoySmith

[edit]

I've just started reading this and I'm finding it tough going. Some specifics:

  • The main body of the article starts with Michael Volpe, known professionally as Clams Casino, became serious about music production in late 2007, when he started publishing his songs online. You haven't even told us who Volpe is, or what he does, so there's no context to help understand this statement.
  • Volpe was using MySpace to contact artists and rappers, sending free beats to them. I have no idea what a "beat" is. I do know what MySpace is, but many readers may not, so this needs to be explained.
  • The track samples "Just for Now" (2005) What does "samples" mean?
  • Volpe did not consider the need to clear the "Just for Now" sample What does "clear" mean?
  • 7" vinyl Use {{convert}} for the size, and link vinyl to Phonograph record
  • In Composition, we finally come to "I'm God" is an instrumental cloud rap song which should be the first sentence of the article. I know what "rap" is, but I have no idea what "cloud rap" is, so that should be explained.
  • the first person to have a positive reaction to the song was Lil B I don't see how the cited source supports the "first person to have ..." assertion.

Overall, there's a lot of jargon. I suspect that for somebody who is well-versed in the genre and its associated argot, this might be a fun read. But as somebody who's neither of those, I'm finding it difficult to get through. For me, "its prose is engaging" is certainly not a true statement.

Looking at the sourcing, I'm concerned that the vast majority of this is cited to just three sources; references 1, 3, and 4 in Special:Permalink/1230128680. It's not just that so much of this is based on this limited selection of sources, but all three of those are dated May 2020, immediately after the song was released on April 24, 2020. WP:FACR requires a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature. I'm not seeing that you've met that by relying so heavily on just these three articles that were written immediately after the release.

And since we're looking at sources, what makes Red Bull, Vice, and/or Complex "high quality reliable sources" as required by WP:FACR? Vice has been discussed on WP:RSN, but no consensus, except possibly "It's too many different things to make any blanket statement". I can't find anything on any of their web sites that talks about their editorial process. Complex looks like a blog to me; https://www.complex.com/author/will-schube says "Joined June 2019 | 31 posts". RoySmith (talk) 01:53, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While it may not look like "a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature" at first glance, it is. These three sources are the most complete and extensive about the subject. They were published right after the official release because it took a decade until that happened. However, multiple other sources from 2011 through 2023 have also been used to give support to other information. Regarding quality, I've explained above in #Source review regarding Vice and Red Bull; regarding Complex, which is marked as reliable on WP:A/S, Will Schube has written for websites such as Billboard, Pitchfork, Spin, and more. These authors have written for multiple reliable publications. For this article, I believe they are high-quality. Skyshiftertalk 08:26, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Complex was added in Special:Permalink/564293337 with the edit comment being bold: I have not put these sources for discussion on talk, but I don't think they will be challenged. If anyone disagrees, please remove that source and discuss on talk. There is no indication that such a discussion ever took place. I think we need a more substantial evaluation to consider it a high-quality source. RoySmith (talk) 13:14, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should be considered that Will Schube has written for multiple reliable publications, including Billboard, Pitchfork, Spin, GQ, The Fader, and the Recording Academy website. I believe this specific article is fine to use in this article. Skyshiftertalk 13:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I acknowledge that there have been useful improvements made in response to my comments, but I still have concerns about how much this article depends on three particular sources, all published in direct response to the album's release. I also acknowledge that popular music is well outside my normal wheelhouse, so maybe this is just considered normal and acceptable for this genre. Hence, I'm not going to officially venture either an oppose or a support. RoySmith (talk) 14:35, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Understandable. Thanks for your review! Skyshiftertalk 18:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
