I put the Chart Singles in the order they came out, that makes the most sense. I don't really get why that other stuff really matters, either. -- PDTantisocial 23:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
I have rearranged some of the pictures, fixed several factual errors in the infobox, and done some other cleanup. 69.116.150.174 03:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
As part of this project, I've checked a few citations from this article. It did quite well. Results:

Text says "The album was produced entirely by DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz." Infobox adds Buckshot. Which is correct? Rich Farmbrough, 12:04 24 February 2007 (GMT).
Was 5ft previously 5ft Accelerator or 5FT Accelerator? Rich Farmbrough, 12:37 24 February 2007 (GMT).
This article supposes a knowledge of where East Coast hip hop comes from. All too often articles assume that readers will be familiar with the country of the subject that is being written about. The reader shouldn't have to link to another article or make inferences from the content of the article to work this out. We musn't make this assumption in an international encyclopaedia. So I added 'American'. Great article! 82.32.238.139 00:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Avobe the images don't have any fair use rationale. Didn't anybody notice that? How can an article be judged as featured article without observing its image page (Whether they have proper rationale or not)?-- NAHID 19:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I just want to say that I think the critique of this album, although good, is really missing the importance of the lyrical content of this album. The points of contention that I really have are
This album came out as a trail blazer that would lead to other albums by similar artists such as Nas' "Illmatic", Biggies "Ready To Die", Mobb Deeps "Tha Infamous" ... albums also critiqued as classic that have the violent braggadocio attached to them. The violent references are two fold. They are an expression of the artist themselves and where they are coming from, but more so, in a critic of social conditions in the inner-city, it is a commentary on what is actually happening in the ghettos of America. "Make Munne" is a classic example of this. That song isn't simply about making money. The song is about what money means to inner-city youth and the high value that society has attached to it. It's violent .. but, hey, George W. and his cronies are doing mass violence right now for the same thing. Same mentality, different level.
Another classic on the album "Slave" is an extremely pivotal track on the album. This song in itself describes why The Boot Camp Clik in general has never tried for commercial success. They are "Slaves" to real hip-hop. That song expresses the love for hip-hop music and its relationship to the streets. "Commercial rap get the gun clap day after day..."
"Enta Da Stage" the title track and the album in itself is an exemplification of what hip-hop is. Raw lyrics, raw beats, with the ability to move the crowd like none other to classic samples and breaks: definitively MC'ing.
One of the greatest albums in hip-hop history. Word up.

I just want to say, I deleted the quote "It is worth noting that Rolling Stone isn't a credible reviewer for rap albums(case in point, only giving 3 Feet High and Rising 3 stars)." It is a comment based on your opinion, not actual fact. What is good to 1 reviewer, may not be to another. If you were quoting someone else's conversation, where they said "Rolling Stone gives bad reviews," you may be able to use that. Even at that, you'd have to present it in a way where your comments wouldn't seem bias (i.e. You couldn't quote a bunch of negative comments against "Rolling Stone," w/o presenting positive ones...it would seem 1 sided). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.172.72.215 ( talk) 19:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

This article was promoted in 2006 and has never been reviewed since. For such a short article, one can identify a number of problems/inconsistencies at a glance:
The album was produced by Black Moon member DJ Evil Dee along with Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz.; Infobox:
Producer - Da Beatminerz, Buckshot; Text:
DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz, who produced the album- The lead assumes that the reader already knows a lot of things, like DJ Evil Dee also being part of Da Beatminerz. Was Buckshot a producer or not? Da Beatminerz's Wiki page says "The duo produced the entirety of Black Moon's acclaimed debut album, Enta Da Stage...". All of this is very confusing (for someone who does not follow hip-hop) and should be clarified, especially if Allmusic says that this album enters the discussion of "the greatest hip-hop production efforts of all time".
I think that this article needs work to rise to current FA criteria, most notably:
