Kanye West is the leading rapper on the Chicago scene.
Music video
Actually the music video doesn't seem like a "low-resolution, artifact-heavy" encode of the video. Rather, it appears as though they strategically removed I-frames from the video, leaving primarily P- or B-frames which can be thought of as frames that contain the difference between successive frames (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression_picture_types for more details). At least that's my best guess. An interesting effect, but not entirely novel

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Note: I nominated this article back when I did not know the expansion level had to be five times larger; however, I have made it a GAN and I am expecting a review shortly so I will change the expanded text to reading improved to GA status instead, plus for whoever reviews this I presume you can have it on hold for that long. --
K. Peake 09:30, 25 February 2021 (UTC) Even though I initially nominated this article before I knew that expansion had to be 5x, it has since passed as a GA so I already know it at least meets the new enough requirement. --

Y Article is long enough 15125 characters), is now a GA (since 13 March, so is eligible for DYK as a new GA), and article is within policy
Y Hooks are short enough, interesting, in the article, and well cited.
Hey there! I'll be taking a look at this GAN. Any section marked with a Working tag means I haven't finished combing through it, but feel free to start making changes as soon as you see them! Kncny11(shoot)18:48, 12 March 2021 (UTC)reply
"that despite the song's music video being released on February 18, 2009," → "that, despite a music video being released for the song on February 18,"
Partly done I kept the release year because the previous one mentioned was 2008, so it would be confusing otherwise --

"was thankful of Kid Cudi's "anxious cooing" on the song for serving as "a perfect counter"" → "was thankful for Kid Cudi's "anxious cooing" on the song, which served as "a perfect counter""
"West was referring to the technique employed within American synth-pop band Chairlift's Ray Tintori–directed visual for "Evident Utensil";" → "West was referring to the video for American
synth-pop band Chairlift's "Evident Utensil", directed by
Ray Tintori."
"Nabil dubbed it as "data moshing" in an MTV news interview on February 18, 2009. He further pointed out..." → "In an MTV News interview on February 18, 2009, Nabil dubbed the technique "data moshing", and cited
Takeshi Murata as the most notable artist to use the technique"
"While explaining it was used by him" → "While explaining that he used data moshing"
"more of a strategic way" than what?
"Nabil said because of differing parts" → "Nabil said that, due to differing parts"
"The music video utilizes the data moshing technique for pixelating that is applied to West" → "The music video applies the data moshing technique of
pixelation to West"
Data moshing is used with and without a hyphen across this section. No preference for either, just consistency.
The latter of the two's appearance was met with applause before he began to perform, while West introduced him. Setup is a bit confusing, mostly for the "latter of the two" phrasing, which is implied if West is the one introducing him
Specify that Baller Status is a publication and not, say, an award
I feel as if an introduction to the publication would lack focus, so I just changed to "writing for" if that's acceptable? --

"him and Kid Cudi" → "he and Kid Cudi"
If the album is being played in its entirely, it is implied that the setlist will follow the album's tracklist
"During the first concert that they were billed as Kids See Ghosts" → "In their first concert under the Kids See Ghosts name"
"While it stood as the ninth track of their set, the song was the second track the duo performed that was not a Kids See Ghosts release." → "The ninth track of their set, the song followed set opener "Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1" as the second track that was not a Kids See Ghosts release."
Not done because it lacks focus to mention that song by name, plus it reads weirdly saying it followed it despite being seven places later --

Edit history mostly stable, one edit war on 28 February that appears to have petered out
Copyvio score looks good at 29.6%, with the red-marked section being a direct quote
All AV media is relevant and labeled correctly.
Final comments and verdict
Strong first showing! Just needs some cleanup for confusing sentences. I'll put the article On hold for now, and feel free to ping me if you have any questions! Kncny11(shoot)19:41, 12 March 2021 (UTC)reply
Kncny11 Very good to know that I have achieved a pass with this article; however, you forgot to check the first three criterion off in the progress box. --
