[edit] tagging elabouration

In an effort to explain why the applicable tags are included in the article, I will enumerate such reasons here.

1. {{primarysources}}: The only source for the article is the band's own website. This does not meet the requirement for WP:V or WP:RS.
2. {{notability}}: W/o any WP:RS, I use google. "Dice and k9" returns 762 unique hits; whereas "MOBBSTARR" does return 1490 unique hits. Furthering on the point of notability, while the article claims a great many awards and titles, I cannot source them; and without WP:RS I cannot accept them at face value for the conference of notability.
3. {{cleanup}}: As for cleanup, I'm paticularly bothered by the phrasing of the whole "biography" as it sounds more like a PR blurb than a legitimate, sourced writeup. Furthermore, while not high on my list of worries, the article needs to be further formatted per Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop preferably.

I neither want nor expect this article to be deleted, as it seems quite capable of surviving under WP:MUSIC. But it needs a great deal of work; and being wholly unfamiliar with the paticular subject, I am not the ideal candidate for bringing it up to par. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 17:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
