Hello, Locust member! I'll be your GA reviewer. First, I'm sorry for the long wait! Second, I'm still new to reviewing. This is only my second review and I appreciate your patience. Please expect me to do a spot check in a few hours or days. Cattos💭 02:04, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quick checks+Media checks

Prose

  • The capitalization of "The" in "The Hip Hop Lab" should be reviewed.
    • Made it lowercased in prose.
  • Unlink popular culture and basketball.
    •  Done
      • They are still linked.
        • Whoops, done for real this time
  • I would rename the "Background" section to "Background and production", since it also contains details about the album's creation process.
    •  Done
  • "HipHopDX's" use the template "'s" in italicized terms.
    • Fixed.
  • Is the correct term "braggadocious" in the context used? If so, consider linking braggadocio
    • Linked
  • "BabyTron gave "Mainstream Tron" its name because he would expect the listener to know what it would sound like, but he does not see his music becoming mainstream in the future" --> "BabyTron titled the track "Mainstream Tron" to play on listener expectations, though he has said he does not anticipate his music becoming mainstream."
    •  Done
  • "XXL's" --> "XXL's" template
    •  Done
  • The word "Buzz" may be informal.
    • Changed to "attention"
  • "Promoting the album for The Fader" may imply a non-neutral or commercial role that may or may not be supported by the source.
    • Changed to "Discussing the album for The Fader"
  • I would avoid the second person pronoun "to see why BabyTron has been receiving praise nationwide, you would need to listen to Megatron."
    • Fixed.
  • Specify the date in "XXL listed "Peachtree" as one of the best songs of the week."
    • Changed to "one of the best songs of its release week"
  • Is there any reason why there are three citations before "studio album" rather than "BIN Reaper 2," in Background and Production?
    • There was a previous edit war on whether it was a mixtape or studio album on his main page, but I reduced it to one citation to confirm that it is a studio album.
  • The adverb "Though" at the start is awkward and unnecessary.
    • Fixed.

Will spotcheck from this revision.

  • [4] BIN Reaper 2, a sequel to his 2019 BIN Reaper mixtape
  • [6] He is a member of the rap group ShittyBoyz
  • [9]a a producer BabyTron has worked with since 2019.
  • [9]c Though BabyTron's producers will sometimes choose the samples for him to rap on, he chose the Jurassic Park (1993) sample featured on the album. The source mentions The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), not Jurassic Park (1993)
    • Fixed
  • [9]d BabyTron titled the track "Mainstream Tron" to play on listener expectations, though he has said he does not anticipate his music becoming mainstream.
  • [10] Megatron contains guest appearances from GTP Daidoe, DaBoii of SOB X RBE, and Glockboyz Teejaee.
  • [11]a Megatron is a Michigan rap album that contains humorous lines and references to popular culture and basketball while using an unconventional flow.
  • [11]e "Beyond Turnt" has lively horns and sharp snares, while Buford said BabyTron's voice on "Mr. Do the Dash" "slithers up". "Extra Butter" contains braggadocios lyrics, and Buford likened its instrumental to a paid programming commercial. "Crocs & Wock" begins with a fake start, as if BabyTron made a mistake, until he starts his actual verse.
  • [12]a Megatron is a Michigan rap album that contains humorous lines and references to popular culture and basketball while using an unconventional flow.
    • It confirms the "humorous lines" part: he's not afraid to throw in some outrageously funny lines here and there.
  • [14]a "Manute Bol" and "6 Star Wanted Level" are melodic trap songs that feature a "1980s space vibe", utilizing their heavy bass.
  • [14]b It reached number 11 on the iTunes top Hip-Hop/Rap albums chart
