Reached GA status within the appropriate time-frame, hook is well sourced. The only issue I have is that the hook is not interesting. They need to be interesting to a broad audience and I can't see how this would interest anyone who doesn't follow Kanye or No Malice. —VersaceSpace🌃 15:03, 26 September 2022 (UTC)reply
VersaceSpace Before proposing an ALT2, I'd like to ask to save time if you think the "Law of Attraction" fact could be interesting?
K. Peake 08:21, 27 September 2022 (UTC)reply
My apologies. @
Kyle Peake: it would be nice if the hook wasn't 100% about Kanye. It should relate to something or someone generally outside of his realm, for a broader audience. —VersaceSpace🌃 20:47, 18 October 2022 (UTC)reply

Jesus is well-known enough that it probably doesn't need to be wikilinked
Comment: I have done this throughout the Jesus Is King articles and religion is the central focus so I think this is acceptable. --

Thanks for the swift responses. I kind of disagree with including the abbreviation for the RIAA but that is a matter of personal preference. ✓Pass!--NØ 10:12, 23 September 2022 (UTC)reply

Reached GA status within the appropriate time-frame, hook is well sourced. The only issue I have is that the hook is not interesting. They need to be interesting to a broad audience and I can't see how this would interest anyone who doesn't follow Kanye or No Malice. —VersaceSpace🌃 15:03, 26 September 2022 (UTC)reply
VersaceSpace Before proposing an ALT2, I'd like to ask to save time if you think the "Law of Attraction" fact could be interesting?

My apologies. @
Kyle Peake: it would be nice if the hook wasn't 100% about Kanye. It should relate to something or someone generally outside of his realm, for a broader audience. —VersaceSpace🌃 20:47, 18 October 2022 (UTC)reply
