For a Novemeber 2004 deletion debate over this page see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Lil Jon

What happened to Gazpacho's version? Why was this restored to the vandalised version? Dr Zen 00:29, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dave Chappelle

Wwwwwhattt? No mention of the relationship between LJ and Chappelle? You have to be kidding. All I know of LJ is what Chappelle has shown me. It at least warrants one sentence.

Go ahead and add it, with appropriate references. -- BillWeiss | Talk 12:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page protection

I'm protecting this page to prevent repeated vandalism. Among other things, this allows for discussion of a stable version in VfD. I know this is an inconvenience for editors. I suggest that those affected post drafts of any rewrites they want to make here in Talk in preparation for merging them back later. As far as I know there are no content disputes over this page. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 12:50, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pimp my ride

Should it mentioned that he was the host of the show "pimp my ride" europe?--66.253.145.149 (talk) 06:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] More vandalism?

I just removed the following sentence from the article: Lil Jon is currently working on learning politics at the University of Ottawa with professor David Kiesman.

There isn't any professor by this name at the University of Ottawa, according to a search of the staff directory. So unless someone can provide a citation, I don;t think that it should be included in the main article. --67.70.107.107 21:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Updated article

When does the period for votes for deletion end? I would like to add a section on the success of the Crunk Juice album which debuted at #3 on the American charts and his production on the #1 hit "Goodies".

Capitalistroadster 22:50, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

OK, I'll unprotect it. Take a look at the end of the VfD discussion and add your name to the list of people watching the article. Just help watch it for vandalism, OK? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 00:16, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Add me to that list of people watching for Vandalism. --Threatis 02:47, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Who ever is vandalizing this page needs to chill out, for real. I tried to take it off but i couldn't.....

[edit] Just needs some attention.

This article doesn't need to be deleted, as Lil Jon is a legitimate topic for an article, and the content may not be in dispute, but the language is a little lacking. "Hooked up" is still used coloquially, etc. Were it somewhat more sophisticated, it would be fine.

I've been toying with the idea that there should be no anonymous edits allowed - it's not hard to register, and if anyone cares enough to go in an change an article for the better, they ought to not balk at designating a username and password. Seems like the simple solution to cracking down on vandalism to me. Anyone dumb enough to still vandalize a page knowing their username is visible can be blocked from editing (a) that article or (b) anything at all.

Is there an appropriate forum I can move this to?

[edit] "Punk Rock" Influence

Doesnt the assertion that "'Lil Jon" is the only hip-hop artist (excluding the Beastie Boys) that would claim punk rock as an influence ignore that whole underground hip-hop thing, you know, that whole little Minnesota scene and such?

The "king of crunk" loves his punk HAHAHA thats funny but he is a big fan of Muncipal Waste and Hellshock... I thought that was oretty interesting --67.174.3.82 08:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Well I think someone should put that he did a remix of a country song...Loud (Lil Jon Country Club Remix) apparently its on Big 7 Rich's new album on iTunes CreepyKlutz 22:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Biography?

What is this about a "Lashonda" inviting him to work at Popeyes? Sounds like vandalism to me, somebody remove it please.

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make whatever changes you feel are needed.

A while back The Source did an article about Lil Jon. He grew up in a six-story mansion, son of an aerospace engineer and a nurse. Can anyone verify this or find the article?

[edit] Where is his single charts

Where is his list of singles on the chart because i need to know

[edit] Real Name

Is he Neil Patrick Harris or Johnathan Smith?

Johnathan Smith

[edit] pic

Click here to see a school pic of lil jon.But Click Here to see his highschool gradution pic whick is even uglier.That's why he wears a hat, sunglasses, and long dreads to cover his face.----Always Gotta Keep It Real, Cute 1 4 u 01:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Fa realz! -Pumpkin Pie 21:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

attention should be brought to the largely innaccurate photo that currently resides within this page. it is not only distracting and confusing to anyone trying to research lil jon, but it also suggests general incredibility in this article. i propose it be replaced as soon as possible.

[edit] picture

shouldn't we at least get a picture?

I have like a hundred pictures of Lil' Jon, but I don't know how to upload them

[edit] Trivia

"He looked like a nerd?" Unless he said that himself, this isn't really necessary.

Lil jon is the best god damn singer alive. He is the best rapper in the world and if anybody has anything to say about that, well they can go ahead and kiss my ass!

Everyone who thinks Lil John is original at all needs to see Ol' Dirty Bastards Brooklyn Zoo video. Lil John ripped off Dirty's look 100% it is to similar to be anything but a rip off, Dirty made it way before John did a damn thing, too.

[edit] eastside boys

why isnt there a separate article for them or at least for the group "lil jon and the eastside boys"

The East Side Boyz

there is finally separte articles for santana and carlos santana , why not lil jon and another for lil jon and the eastside boys —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.176.61.162 (talk) 08:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Production and/or Appearances section

Would anyone be opposed to dropping this section or at least dramatically cutting it? It's well over half of the page, and it doesn't really add much to the reader's knowledge of the artist. Couldn't it just be replaced with "Lil Jon has produced and/or appeared in at least NN tracks by artists such as X, Y and Z" ? For some values of NN, some artists X Y and Z, etc. -- BillWeiss | Talk 16:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

No one had a comment, so I did it. Opinions? The material I removed could well be moved into a separate page, or into the discography page. -- BillWeiss | Talk 04:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

And again. -- BillWeiss | Talk 22:43, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BLP compliance

I placed the BLP template on the article. This article is lacking references and citations. As an article about a living person, all claims whether positive, negative or neutral must be referenced. 13:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Any possible BLP-violating text has been removed. Also, for the future, in regards to BLP, it's much better to fix problem text yourself than place a BLP template on the page. Rockstar (^T/_C) 19:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Read A Book"

I want people to relize that Lil' Jon did NOT make "Read A Book" it was in fact made by Bomani Armah. People keep putting that on his wikiarticle when its not true. Rollinman 07:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Catchphrases

Deleted the part with Lil Jon's alleged catchphrases, as they are (mostly) Dave Chapelle's creation, and as he is far more known using them in his "A moment in the life of Lil Jon"-sketches —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.112.84.57 (talk) 21:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

They aren't Dave Chappelle's creation. 128.210.12.38 (talk) 03:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] World's Ballinist Bling

Here's the link for the cite. I'd do it, but I'm lazy:

he actually has a record for mos swear words in a song also.... --Paczilla007 (talk) 08:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ARTICLE PROGRESS

THIS ARTICLE HAS GONE DOWNHILL IN THE LAST COUPLA MONTHS MOSTLY CUZ OF VANDALISM. I ADDED SOME INFO FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS TO THE ARTICLE NOW. (MY EDIT) I HOPE DIS MAKES IT EASIER TO EXPAND FOR OTHER PEEPS TO EDIT. Crunk Cup (talk) 20:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Middle name

I just read this on 4chan: "True Confession: I changed Lil Jon's middle name to "Mortimer" on his Wikipedia entry, about 4 years ago. It's still there."

In the infobox it says: "Birth name: Jonathan Francis Smith".

The two references could have easily got their 'information' from the Wikipedia page. Any ideas how to settle this?--EchetusXe 22:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

The link to the "LA Times", http://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/12/business/fi-hiphop12, has him as Jonathan Mortimer Smith. Assuming the /b/tards can't deface that as well. - Siesta (talk) 22:43, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Good enough I guess. It's not about it being defaced, just this vicious cycle:

1. False information posted on Wikipedia goes unchecked.

2. Journalist picks up on information, does not verify it.

3. Wikipedia uses journalist's piece to reference the false information.

4. and so on.--EchetusXe 18:45, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
