50 Cent in 2007
Improved to Good Article status by The Ultimate Boss (talk). Self-nominated at 22:51, 6 April 2021 (UTC).
- @The Ultimate Boss: Before I review, may I suggest that you completely re-write this hook. You make it seem as if 50 Cent was shot and killed in a home invasion. Also, phrases like "debut posthumous studio album" which are mandatory in articles, are considered superfluous in DYK hence why they don't need to be included. Consider writing this hook: "... that after Pop Smoke's sudden death during a home invasion, 50 Cent took it upon himself to finish the former's debut album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, on his behalf." or something along those lines.

- Interesting:
- This hook simply states the executive producer of a posthumous album and the reason of death... nothing much. I suggest that you spice it up by including the fact that 50 Cent "curated" Pop's album "took it upon himself" to finish it after his death, which the Billboard source supports already.

- Pinging nominator @Shoot for the Stars: this was reviewed over a month ago and the issues above need to be resolved before this can be promoted. DanCherek (talk) 21:55, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator says he's semi-retired, but since the concern is hooks, I'll suggest some for @HeyitsBen, DanCherek, and Shoot for the Stars:. Kingsif (talk) 12:07, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

- The Ultimate Boss, can you please return and comment on the proposed hooks? DanCherek, do any of them meet with your approval? This nom has been languishing for weeks now! MeegsC (talk) 11:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Approve ALT1 (but change "six months" to "five months") and ALT5 as the ones that sound most interesting to me. Disclaimer: I have only evaluated these hooks and that they are cited inline in the article; I am deferring to the original review from Cybertrip [HeyitsBen] for other aspects like copyvio, general sourcing, etc. DanCherek (talk) 12:04, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
