[edit] Album title

This album was originally called 'Cop Killer'. I know this because I owned the original (on cassette.) This was in the UK.

I don't know about the UK, but in the US it was always shipped and sold as "Body Count."St. Jimmy 23:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

huh? where do you think this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Body_Count_Album_Cover.jpg is from? man get ice t's book and then come back and talk shit --80.134.161.156 00:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• The only source I can find that refers to the album as Cop Killer is Charlton Heston's biography. And that doesn't count because his opinions on the song's lyrics clearly show he doesn't know what he's talking about. He also claimed that they changed the cover artwork without removing the song.

[edit] To User:80.134.161.156

This issue has already been settled. Your information has been contradicted by several editors, including myself, who owned the original CD or cassette. I'm not sure if you were even born at the time of its release. If you continue to revert, I will have to take action with the admins. Instead of that, please turn your attention to something constructive. St. Jimmy 20:57, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

And I would also add to the anon 80.134... user that there are enough people watching this page that your changes will be reverted every time you add spurious "Cop Killer" album information here or at Body Count. You are absolutely wasting your time.--Isotope23 00:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

and youre an idiot --80.134.163.20 18:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Ha ha ha... I would remind you of WP:CIVIL if you were not so precious...--Isotope23 19:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] +semi

I have semiprotected this article temporarily as requested on AN/I. Please discuss the edits, and let me know when you all have it worked out so I can light the protection. Thanks. --Improv 19:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Lifted. By current policy, we're discouraged to semiprotect indefinitely. --Improv 14:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA pass

Just some notes.

• There should be no refs in the infobox, put them in the lead instead.
• Image fair use notices should have a link to the article
• "and is believed to have helped pave the way for the mainstream success of the rapcore genre,[3][4][5]" - Don't need that many refs for one sentence.
• Track listings need sources
• Personnel section needs a source (even the album sleeve will do)
