GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    There are numerous prose issues that I am concered with. For example: "Three of the four singles released from the album in the United States (US)." – Grammar issues and no need to include the US parenthesis; "Eazy-Duz-It was recorded at Audio Achievements, in Torrance, California from 1987 to 1988." – No need to have a comma after Achievements; "...while the D.O.C.'s included "syllabically punchy boasts" and Ice Cube wrote "masterfully insightful first-person narratives."– Comma needed after "wrote"; "Jason Birchmeier from Allmusic gave a considerable amount of note to the album's production..." – "considerable amount of note" – very unusual phrasing for me, please rephrase the "note" part; "leftover electro sounds of mid-'80s Los Angeles" – All Wikipedia articles now need to address things like "80s" – was it the 1780s or 1980s? Even though it may be obvious, it needs to be written out in full. These are just some of the issues I have picked out. I suggest a thrid-party editor give this a pair of fresh eyes and provide a good copy edit of this article.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    Article is properly sourced and complies to WP:OR.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
    Article complies to WP:NPOV.
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
    Article is stable.
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    There are a number of issues to do with the prose to bring it to GA standards. I suggest a good copy edit by a fresh pair of eyes to polish the prose and fix these prose problems. – SMasters (talk) 10:24, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    I've fixed all the issues that you have listed. I'm right now gonna re-check the article, and probably get someone else to look it over. CrowzRSA 20:58, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    I've fixed up some more things, and I think it should be okay now. CrowzRSA 14:30, 20 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    Thanks for making all the fixes, I'm happy that the article now meets all the requirements for a GA, and I'm happy to pass it. – SMasters (talk) 13:23, 22 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
