This article doesn't officially have good article status, but looks close to it. --Aude (talk contribs) 01:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
This article also doesn't officially have good article status, I think we should try to stick with articles that have at least that status. I think there's plenty to choose from. --Aude (talk contribs) 01:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Its well written but I don't think anyone would want to read it given that its subject and length sorry. -ĬŴΣĐĝё 07:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Illmatic - a featured article but was recently on Wikipedia's Mainpage. Therefore, it is best that this be saved for later Chubdub 03:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
One of the best sports articles I've ever seen. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 16:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
