Talk:Tricky (rapper)

message: How detailed should things like the collaborators list be? Because I can think of at least 4 or 5 artists off of the top of my head that definitely should be on that list, but a little research churned up maybe 10-20 more. If Tricky appears once on someone's album, should that count? What if he does a remix for someone? Or what if he writes a song but doesn't perform it, etc., etc.? I'm thinking that maybe if they do more than one song with Tricky, but then again..?  Any thoughts? --AA 04:12 Dec 8, 2003 (UTC)
**A collaboration is usually something the two parties work on. So if he produces or appears on someone's album, I'd consider that a collaboration. A RMX is not necessarily a collaboration, only b/c 9 times out of 10 the original artist has no input - they are just the s ource material. Khal 16:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know anything about the change in his voice from the noticable british accent(Massive Attack) to his current trademark rasp (Blow Back)?  Best I can tell, it started around Pre-Millenium Tension.  I haven't come across any web sites that make any mention of it.--24.6.31.215 22:51, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have info about that Grease link under the "other projects" header?  I can't find anything about this and there is no source shown.  I can't imagine he would have anything to do with that.  A remake of "Beauty School Dropout" perhaps?  I was going to remove it from the article but figured I'd ask first.  I'm thinking someone is getting it confused with the whole "DJ Muggs & Grease" connection? -- eo 05:25, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Grease?

message: There are so many other things to include... how about the label he runs/was running - Durban Poison. And his 'Back to Mine' compilation? And the 'Baby Namboos' - who I believe were his nephews? Finley Quaye once claimed to be Tricky's nephew too. Then what about the 'Drunkenstein' project of the late '90s - what happened to that? Oh, and what about the press's view that his music's perceived downturn in quality post PMT is due to his use of cannabis? And that the crap nature of the Muggs project was due to contract filling? I'll try to find citations for some of these...  Malick78 18:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although the age difference makes it seem strange, Finley claimed to be his uncle (Maxine Quaye's sister). Both families originate from the same village in Ghana, but no link was ever proven.  --MartinUK 18:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

message: any confirmation about this track being about Goldie? I gave it a listen this morning, and the references (coke in your nose, knock out your gold fronts, the king of jungle, etc.) are there, but I haven't seen an article on it... Khal 14:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This article says initially that his mother died by suicide, but then (much later) states she died through an epileptic seizure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:7E80:360:588D:A0DD:446F:2880 (talk) 06:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Mother's death Contradiction

message: The article mentions "He [Tricky] became involved in crime at an early age, joined a gang that was involved in car theft, burglary, fights and promiscuity." One of these strikes me as lurid and needlessly judgemental rather than illegal. Is Wikipedia written by a Midlands grandmother? 2A02:587:328A:E00:CC41:6CCD:D37F:C689 (talk) 20:24, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: just chiming in to say that i agree with this very much and that, furthermore, the entire article is written with the sensational tone of a VH1 documentary or something. this needs extensive rewriting. and absolutely wtf at the part where martina topley-bird is referred to as "... a musician he discovered when she was sitting on a wall near his Bristol home" when discussing the suicide of their daughter! 98.142.89.4 (talk) 23:45, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
