message: I believe that there was some controversy about the labelling of Elvis as "racist" in the lyrics to this song.  If some supporting material could be found, would that be worth mentioning in the article?  Epa101 (talk) 20:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: @Epa101 Chuck D is a known racist so let's stop calling Elvis one, who by many accounts grew up immersed in black culture. 75.231.94.135 (talk) 02:31, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

message: " Brawley gained national notoriety in 1987 when, at the age of 15, she accused several police officers and public officials from Wappingers Falls, New York of raping her. The charge was rejected in court, and she instead was sued for supposedly fabricating her story."  There is a page for Tawana Brawley's accusations. These details seem to have nothing to do with the movie. Do digressions like this really belong? (Also, the other page refers to "Wappinger, NY" and not Wappingers Falls. The latter  seems consistent with the contemporary NYT articles, but this disagreement probably should be resolved.) Danchall (talk) 14:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

message: For the moment, until a quote is sourced (not just a citation, which cannot be readily viewed on the Internet), I have removed the following statement: "... members of The Bomb Squad such as Chuck D and Hank Schocklee wanted to eschew melodic clarity and harmonic coherence in favor of a specific mood in the composition." To me, this is a major claim, as the writer is establishing, as fact, what D and Schocklee "wanted"—it is a big call to claim to know what the creators of a composition that is many years old actually "wanted." The best way to support this is with a quote that clearly shows that this is what both artists wanted.--Soulparadox (talk) 10:23, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not assuming good faith is not a valid reason to remove sourced material. I'm sensing you disagree with the material you removed, since you didn't remove anything else attributed to the Walser citation. Dan56 (talk) 10:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
