  • 23:0523:05, 9 January 2022 diff hist −1,645 Bitches Ain't ShitI mainly change some direct quotes to paragraphing and trim some to snippets instead of sentences or independent clauses. I'll return later. Tags: nowiki added Visual edit
  • 21:2221:22, 9 January 2022 diff hist −2,315 Bitches Ain't ShitI prune some of my verbiage as well cued by recent attack. But most tags are over the top. Article doesn't need complete rewrite. Article is NOW too long to read comfortably/is too detailed but for "particular audience" since my basicallycorrect lead nearly wholly deleted: lead's point is summarizing whole article, so the superficially interested need not read whole article. Just read lead of
    WP:LEAD
    . Not about a song, period, article is about a song and its historical/social significance.

  • 13:2013:20, 9 January 2022 diff hist −1,507 RaekwonI remove of wordiness and redundancy saying a lot of nothing informative. I delete the section "Personal life"—merely one sentence—and place it in section "Early life" while renaming this instead a catchall "Personal life". Also in lead, I better summarize the article, as this is the point of the lead (
    WP:LEAD
    ).

  • 12:4912:49, 6 January 2022 diff hist +404 Bitches Ain't ShitMy prior edit was underway before the edit just before it; I'm unsure how editing conflict was averted. I revise to slightly yield on 'comprised of', as 'comprised by' works best, I feel. But in this use case of a music group's members, 'consisting of'—what was offered—sounds like mere ingredients. If there's cogent opposition to 'comprised of', it's unclear on user's talkpage and even to Merriam-Webster [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/comprise#usage-1]. Elsewhere, I refine slightly. Tag: Visual edit: Switched

  • 08:3208:32, 5 January 2022 diff hist +4,890 Bitches Ain't ShitIn an explanatory note in the lead about Snoop's early persona, I trace the roots of the persona. Also, in the longest explanatory note about scholars' confabulations that the song slurs black mothers, I add some motherhood connection in the pimp mindset or background, although of course this still doesn't place mother slurring in the song. Otherwise, there are modest refinements. Tag: Visual edit: Switched

  • 22:1022:10, 4 January 2022 diff hist +2,203 Bitches Ain't ShitI had accidentally left explanatory note on "Ain't No Fun" incomplete. I also resolve one of the longest explanatory notes by showing the rap characters' pimp psychology, a different set of premises than scholars suppose when confabulating that the lyrics disparage black mothers. (Black mothers maybe the most sacred cow, scholars appalled by the song inject this trope to premise their own unmitigated scorn of the song. Yet I don't venture this explanation in the note, which cites simpler facts.) Tag: Visual edit

  • 10:5410:54, 4 January 2022 diff hist +668 Bitches Ain't ShitI regret having to edit again so soon, but I critically misworded a sentence. So, while fixing that, I make other small fixes and refinements. Also, I add links to a sound recording
  • 09:2709:27, 4 January 2022 diff hist +3,605 Bitches Ain't ShitIn the present explanatory notes, I include better explanations of beats, notes, meter, rhythm, and syncopation, so that a reader can perhaps fully understand the material discussed in the article. Also, in the explanatory note on the a capella choir that covered the Folds cover, I better summarize his own a capella work around then. Also, I mention a female rapper in the 2010s who sustains the model that perhaps arose in reaction to this 1992 rap song's influence. Tag: Visual edit: Switched

  • 02:3402:34, 3 January 2022 diff hist +1,085 Bitches Ain't ShitI fix some typos. Meanwhile, I temper some wording in an explanatory note that the examines "African American" and black American scholars' misreadings of the song lyrics. Elsewhere, I add to footnotes on music theory more sources to reveal bar structure and beat relations. Tag: Visual edit: Switched

  • 19:2019:20, 31 December 2021 diff hist +1,248 m Bitches Ain't ShitI add a couple of sources and add several URLs. The keyword searches that I earlier used to link to books pages tend, I see, to no longer allow full page view, whereas direct links to the page numbers often do. Tag: Visual edit
  • 11:1911:19, 31 December 2021 diff hist +722 Bitches Ain't ShitIn section "Ben Folds cover version", I add to explanatory note at Fold's cover of Kesha's "Sleazy" that they played together in 2016. Also, I add in subsection "Development" a significant viewpoint about his "Bitches Ain't Shit" cover. I add to explanatory note at the college a capella choir that Folds issued an album of college a capella covers of his. Also, I delete from lead a duplicated citation. Elsewhere, I delete a source better treated by another note that explains its error. Tag: Visual edit
  • 07:0107:01, 31 December 2021 diff hist +281 Calvin O. ButtsI delete from the lead the claim that Butts is a religious scholar. Although he has a doctoral degree, the article seemingly provides no notable evidence that he otherwise has notably published religious research. Aside from that, I add to the lead a major characterization of the church that he pastors. Tag: Visual edit
  • 06:3706:37, 31 December 2021 diff hist +765 Bitches Ain't ShitI rework slightly to give more prominence to the album's shifting rap genre's lead, for the first time, from New York to Los Angeles, which may be the only major point omitted absent from the lead until recently. Also, I clarify in the paragraph that was newly added to subsection "Snoop effect" that rappers MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, not only female, were iconic, as they already were at the time, 1990. The esteem they held is obscured by the march of time, but they're still landmark rappers. Tag: Visual edit: Switched

  • 02:0502:05, 31 December 2021 diff hist +6,993 Bitches Ain't Shit→‎Ben Folds cover: I turn two notes into explanatory notes. One elaborates on Folds's cover of Kesha's "Sleazy", especially as Kesha in June 2019 issued a song suggesting feminism's ideological opposition to "rich, white, straight men". Otherwise, at another charged allegation—that Folds's "Bitches" cover manifests "toxic masculinity"—I discuss author's stance and who author is. Elsewhere, in note alleging that rap version fed street gangs, I add counterpoint. Elsewhere are small fixes. Tags: nowiki added Visual edit

  • 19:0919:09, 30 December 2021 diff hist +104 m Bitches Ain't Shit→‎Ben Folds cover: I fix some mistyping in this section, if partly in notes, and refining some wording elsewhere. But also in this section, I remove the 'on bail' after 'release from jail', since Snoop's rapping "time to bail" could also mean simply "time to leave". Tag: Visual edit
  • 09:1109:11, 30 December 2021 diff hist +1,000 Bitches Ain't ShitI restore the Twitter citation to its prior form, because I think that it is far more informative that way. As an explanatory note, it offers a quick skim of the author's own introduction of herself. Also, it contains more facts, including the date that this information was viewed. That is, it's not merely a citation: the article has no claim being source to her Twitter page. Otherwise, while at it, I make several refinements. Rise in character count is mostly explanatory notes and a new note. Tag: Visual edit
