Just on a skim read, I see some significant problems with the article:

  • The lead doesn't summarize his career; it's just a bunch of sentences noting how influential he is.
  • There are a bunch of citation needed tags that have to be addressed, as well as a few deadlinks to clean up.
  • Most significantly, the prose is very hit and miss. A few spots are in good shape, but others are not. For example, the first part of the Eric B section jumps right into noting their significance, when it should be discussing their meeting and starting their careers off, which ironically comes later.
  • When the prose is a miss, it's because of tone concerns. This was clearly written by a fairly big fan of Rakim, and as a result the prose needs a top-to-bottom scrubbing for me to even consider it worth reviewing further.

Due to those above concerns I'm failing this. Wizardman 16:59, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
