• New enough (created Jan 12). Long enough (4,712 characters). Contains a dozen refs mostly from major media outlets, two scholarly articles. The hook is short enough and interesting and is supported by an NPR article, but there's a small inconsistency in whether Wan Joon Kim was an immigrant or a refugee. The article does not call him a refugee, but the hook does. This needs to be addressed. QPQ done. Sadly no images. --Երևանցի ^talk 16:27, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
  • The article says that he "fled the country" (as the source says he "escaped North Korea"), which I would consider to mean the same thing as being a refugee. However, I'd be fine with changing the phrasing in the hook:

ALT0a: ... that a North Korean immigrant became the "godfather of gangsta rap" by selling records at the Compton Swap Meet?

That makes sense. I guess escaped/fled the country does equal to being a refugee, especially considering it's North Korea. I'm okay with both refugee and immigrant. --Երևանցի ^talk 08:28, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
