message: Jazz Rap?
Can anyone provide a citation of the claim that De La Soul are known for their contributions to jazz rap.  Otherwise, I will delete it.

message: Does "De La Soul" need to be described as "spanish for 'from the soul'"? Can't that just be cut out, isn't it a bit obvious and slightly inaccurate since "soul" is not "soul" in spanish? Also, why are they listed from Amityville in the Article and East Massapequa on the sidebar? --MrGears 18:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: accuracy issues

message: The article is written in good, clear prose and it's well organized but it reads like an original retrospective out of a music magazine rather than an encyclopedia article.  The descriptions of the albums in particular make for interesting reading but are almost entirely unreferenced, and opinion to boot.  The article needs substantial improvement in each of these areas - tone, opinion / OR and references - and I've added tags to that effect.  JohnInDC (talk) 03:26, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been going through the article and taking out the worst instances of laudatory language and editorial synthesis.  I really should be stripping the thing down a lot more given the utter lack of supporting citations for - well, really anything - but it seems a shame to gut what is otherwise a fairly informative, if personal POV article.  I am not a real student of the hip-hop genre and am a bit at sea when it comes to figuring out where to source a lot of this stuff and could use help from other editors in beginning to source up this article a bit.  Any improvements are welcome!  Thanks -  JohnInDC (talk) 22:47, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi. I'm an infrequent editor, though a big fan of this group since the first two albums. I am confused and put off by the "associated acts" section. Maybe this is the norm for musical wikis, but it seems kind of ridiculous to make this list of every band they ever recorded a track or two with. Rap groups in particular collaborate all the time. The Native Tongues are definitely part of their origin and milieu. Gorillaz maybe because of the huge success of Feel Good, but Snoop Dogg? The Beastie Boys? Many are super questionable. Plus there is no citation for these additions, so it feels like a free for all. I'd delete most if it wouldn't just be undone. Waronmugs (talk) 05:12, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
