message: I removed the section about the beef with Cassidy because Fake Hustlers isn't a diss; Papoose even gives a shout out to Cass in the song.
Pap and Cassidy are also both on a Busta Rhymes song called Psycho Psycho or something.

message: "African born rapper" and "Born... in Brooklyn" kind of conflict with each other, and they're the beginning two sentences. Also, it says "He was first introduced to the public in 1998" but on the sidebar his "years active" are 2004-present. Can someone who knows fix this stuff?
FIXED. He was born in Africa and immigrated to america when he was young and grew up in Brooklyn —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.192.93.52 (talk • contribs) 
Fixed not only means to re-add the info that was previously removed, but to cite them with some external links. Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 03:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It says on his official website "Born and Raised in Brooklyn".  He is not from Africa, and his official website should be the most trusted about this.
People need to look at his website so that this should never show up again in the article.
-- actually he was born in Africa, but only lived there for <1 year, then moved to bklyn. So really he was BORN in Africa, but it was at such a young age it's just considered "born and raised in bklyn"
:"at such a young age it's just considered "born and raised in bklyn""... that's not how the convention is at all. if you are born somewhere, you are born there. however, as the first comment here says, his official website, which is the most reliable source of info about him, says he was born in BK. If you can find a source that says he was born in Africa, by all means bring it to our attention. otherwise everybody stop changing this information. tomasz. 13:00, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

message: It says Sean Bell was shot "50 times". He was not. He was shot 3 times. Why is this on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.196.202 (talk • contribs) 
:
well that's not what Sean Bell's article says. Maybe you have a source that contradicts all the others in that page that we don't know about yet? Anyway, it's on here because this is an article about Papoose, who said in his song that S.B. was shot fifty times, and even if he was wrong we would still have it because we are writing about Papoose and what he said in his song. tomasz. 10:46, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
