New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. All images in article are freely licensed. The first hook seems very appropriate for Women's History Month, but I don't see the fact of "despite being the group's only rapper" in the article or source. The double "only" in the hook is also repetitive and confusing. Could you fashion another hook around Lopes? No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits.

- @Yoninah: I've added a new hook, what do you think? Beyoncetan (talk) 09:29, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Beyoncetan: a hook has to be less than 200 characters. ALT1 is 238 characters. Yoninah (talk) 15:05, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I've shortened it, what do you think? Beyoncetan (talk) 17:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Beyoncetan: The ALT0a hook is incorrect; she was absent because she was in rehab, not because she was charged with arson. What do you think about:
- ALT2: ... that TLC rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes wrote two verses for the song "Kick Your Game", recapping a dialogue between herself and a guy who was trying to flirt but didn't "pass the cleverness test"? Yoninah (talk) 19:24, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I've shortened it, what do you think? Beyoncetan (talk) 17:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- Length, Date, Cite, QPQ exempt, and Earwigs check. ALT2 approved. Mifter (talk) 00:52, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
