Thanks for your input on the article's discussion page. However, the discussion over possible deletion is located here, so please head over and cast your vote to keep the page. --Drenched 22:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I already cast a vote for you. even though I strongly disagree. ShadowyCabal 05:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] De La Soul Barnstar

		The Hip Hop Award
		I, KittenKlub, award the Hip Hop Award to Majik43 for rapid addition of De La Soul singles

You can put the barnstar on your userpage. I personally think that good efforts and high quality should be rewarded and all we got is a lousy barnstar :D All good things come in three and I've already given away two barnstars, so it was about time for a third one...

P.S. You can just delete those stupid automated messages from your talk page ;) KittenKlub 22:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music

Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. Recently, I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. I am now writing to usernames on the hiphopWP who might be interested in helping with the punkmusicWP. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk as has been done well with hip hop. Finally, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 09:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minstrel show

Hi, Majik43. I recently reverted your edits to minstrel show on the grounds that Little Brother album The Minstrel Show was not that significant in the greater scheme of minstrelsy's legacy (and the article is already overlong). However, I do think it may merit a mention after all. Can you find a source, though, that supports the notion that Little Brother was trying to point out that modern African American entertainment exploits black culture much in the same way that minstrelsy did in the 19th century? I'm trying to keep the referencing on this article as top-notch as possible, so it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, — BrianSmithson 08:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Majik43

I am very new to using wikipedia, and so im pretty much learning as i go. I see you have been quite instrumental to a lot of artist's info page, which i think is really cool!! For starters, something i like that i see on some of these pages are the content boxes, how do i make those?

[edit] Nicolay page

Hi Majik43

My name is aimeeFlint, i am Nicolay's partner in crime. I am very new to using wikipedia, and so im pretty much learning as i go. I see you have been quite instrumental to a lot of artist's info page, which i think is really cool!! For starters, something i like that i see on some of these pages are the content boxes, how do i make those? Also, is there a way to change if info from Nicolay (producer) to just Nicolay? When doing the searchs for him, there is more clicking than i would like, granted i realize his name isnt just as easy as J Dilla, and does go to the direct page, but when you click Nicolay, then you have to do the search for Nicolay (producer). Let me know, Thanks!!

[edit] updates

thanks for the reply and suggestive advice. I am curious though, there was a part that you said was very biased, and the only things i have added text wise was a bio, which states facts & the links that OkayPlayer did themselves, as more of a visual and audio. maybe you are referring to something else? As far as the contents box .. that surfaced on its own.

Thanks again.

[edit] Nas

What up man, I'm wondering where you got the info on "The Message" single, I had no idea that was a single and I can't find anything on it anywhere, hit me back. --PDTantisocial 23:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Things Fall Apart (album)

Hello, I plan on working on the Things Fall Apart album again very soon, and I was wondering where you got the information you added to the article? I'd like to know so I may properly add references to it. Thanks KOS | talk 14:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks I'll scrounge around for my booklet, it's been missing for a while now. As for uploading a sample for a song, I have not done it myself, (btw OrphanBot doesn't delete images, the bot just tags images, see User:OrphanBot) I had a look at your uploads, and for example, "Image:Brown Sugar.ogg" was tagged by OrphanBot with the template "Template:No copyright holder". You must provide the source of the file. Where did you get, what is it, etc etc. I'm not the best with uploads, so beyond this I really don't know anything else about it. Cheers, KOS | talk 12:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and a happy new year :)

It's been too much for me; somehow it feels like it's not worth all the trouble and the fights. I just wanted to write about some stuff which I like; it's that simple, however it seems it's like a continous struggle.

Anyway happy new year. Let it be better than 2006. KittenKlub 17:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dilla Beat Tapes

FYI, ALL of the Beat Tapes were available before his death. Questlove has talked of the last three 2005 beat tapes as mini-donuts, which set the stage for donuts. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cosprings (talk • contribs) 14:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

I wrote "Only two of these (Unreleased and Vintage) were released during his lifetime with his coordination:". Which means, only two of those were actually released with his permission. So what are you talking about?The Moving Finger Writes 19:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Yea they're boots, but he knew about them and they were relased before his death. They should be on the page at least for reference for all the people who download them with wrong names, etc.Cosprings 18:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Fine, he may have known them---but don't just delete the sentence--it's still true that it was his first production after his death. Just fix the bias to it, like i did.Cosprings 05:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LWFC

I'm considering submitting Like Water for Chocolate for Good Article Nomination. Seeing as you're also a primary editor, I thought I'd get your opinion first (e.g. is the article ready, what does it need, etc.).--NPswimdude500 ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 04:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James River (album)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article James River (album), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of James River (album). —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 21:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
