Non-notable group that fails WP:BAND and WP:N. Lacks any kind of sources for WP:V. Speedy declined because they are signed with Universal Records. Jauerback 17:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep but rewrite entirely, as this is a thinly changed copy-and-paste from their All Music Guide biography (as printed here on Billboard.com). The article's thin on verifiability, but their current album is charting with Billboard (#18 on the Top Rap Albums and #40 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop), and their previous albums, especially from 2001 and 2003, seem to have reached some pretty good levels of notability. Needs stubification for now, rewrite by someone with knowledge of the band and music, and sourcing. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep articles which say things like "The duo... are still struggling for attention" don't sound promising, but hits on specialist album charts imply that they have notability within their field. Better sourcing would be appreciated - do they have reviews in the music press? Iain99 07:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Verifiable charting on Billboard passes notabilty. Precious Roy 16:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

• "articles which say things like "The duo... are still struggling for attention" don't sound promising" I rewrote that.
