I think it's ok to take the NPOV tag off now? It looks sparse but neutral to me... Lisamh 02:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edited out a biased statement 

message: The fact Yo Gotti named himself after a black hating bigot is very relevant.
He named himself after John Gotti.
John Gotti is on video saying "Being a nigger is an embarrassment"

This goes to the core of Yo Gotti's name and his namesake John Gotti.

message: Yo Gotti (born Mario Mims) was previously known as Lil Yo. (per WP:FACTS) (see DJ Sound) Ben0kto (talk) 14:35, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously that AllMusic link is related to a different person. I have heard of this before, but it needs a much better ref. STATic message me! 17:21, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not. Yo Gotti is a Memphis born rap artist from the Ridgecrest area. Ben0kto (talk) 17:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  That source also does not contain "Lil Yo" or "Lil' Yo" anywhere in it. From Da Dope Game 2 Da Rap Game was released in 2000 under the name Yo Gotti, the only stuff linked in that AllMusic source is from 2007, so again you're making no sense.

replies: text:  There. This time, I placed that one next to Ridgecrest, since the album title (even though it's misspelled) is Ridgecrest  Killaz, a 2007 re-release of Yo's early work copyrighted by DJ Sound and released on Lite Green Records.
*Side note: I hope this subject makes sense, because there are lots of sources returned on a google search.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben0kto (talk • contribs) 18:27, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

text: First of all, keep all discussion under one heading when commenting on talk pages, do not blow up the talk page like you did at Talk: Acid Rap. Second, I found the link to the Complex source and it does state what you were trying to prove, thank you that is all that was needed, I will add it to the article now.

replies: text:  This discussion is not about Acid Rap. I don't want to talk about edit warring again. Please understand I did my best to list some sources here, and you might not like how it was styled with the bullets so please feel free to reorganize. I will try not to crowd the Talk page with new sections. If you want to discuss anything else related to Yo Gotti and his upbringing in Ridgecrest that should be noted, this is certainly the place. Thanks for letting me know about the Complex source, because I have a lot of trouble citing magazine sources and such right now as I have mostly been searching through sites like Allmusic.

replies: text:  I was referring to the new subsections for every point at that talk page, not the situation. Thank you for taking this to the talk page after being initially reverted. Bullets are fine when you are making points, just keep all discussions under one section. I knew/heard before that he had gone by Lil Yo, It just needed a reliable source so no one could challenge the addition, and the AllMusic source does make it look like it was from a different artist that decided to go by that name.
