I think it's ok to take the NPOV tag off now? It looks sparse but neutral to me...

The fact Yo Gotti named himself after a black hating bigot is very relevent
The fact Yo Gotti named himself after a black hating bigot is very relevant.
He named himself after John Gotti.
John Gotti is on video saying "Being a nigger is an embarrassment"
This goes to the core of Yo Gotti's name and his namesake John Gotti.
Rapper and Racist - Linked forever - all by the Rapper's choice.
He could change his stage name anytime.
That source also does not contain "Lil Yo" or "Lil' Yo" anywhere in it. From Da Dope Game 2 Da Rap Game was released in 2000 under the name Yo Gotti, the only stuff linked in that AllMusic source is from 2007, so again you're making no sense. STATicmessage me!18:14, 26 October 2013 (UTC)reply
There. This time, I placed that one next to Ridgecrest, since the album title (even though it's misspelled) is Ridgecrest[3] Killaz, a 2007 re-release of Yo's early work copyrighted by DJ Sound and released on Lite Green Records.
Another very random website, but this one probably describes it best.[7]
If all of this is still not enough to convince you that musician Yo Gotti grew up in the Ridgecrest apartments of the Frayser neighborhood of
Memphis, Tennessee and/or made musical works with DJ Sound as Lil Yo from the exact same apartments and neighborhood, here's a Hip Hop DX link I just found mentioning the specific area in relation to Yo Gotti.[8]Ben0kto (

First of all, keep all discussion under one heading when commenting on talk pages, do not blow up the talk page like you did at
Talk: Acid Rap. Second, I found the link to the Complex source and it does state what you were trying to prove, thank you that is all that was needed, I will add it to the article now. STATicmessage me!19:50, 26 October 2013 (UTC)reply
This discussion is not about Acid Rap. I don't want to talk about edit warring again. Please understand I did my best to list some sources here, and you might not like how it was styled with the bullets so please feel free to reorganize. I will try not to crowd the Talk page with new sections. If you want to discuss anything else related to Yo Gotti and his upbringing in Ridgecrest that should be noted, this is certainly the place. Thanks for letting me know about the Complex source, because I have a lot of trouble citing magazine sources and such right now as I have mostly been searching through sites like Allmusic.

I was referring to the new subsections for every point at that talk page, not the situation. Thank you for taking this to the talk page after being initially reverted. Bullets are fine when you are making points, just keep all discussions under one section. I knew/heard before that he had gone by Lil Yo, It just needed a reliable source so no one could challenge the addition, and the AllMusic source does make it look like it was from a different artist that decided to go by that name.

WP:CSD#A7 does not apply to notable rappers and/or their works, so if this information should not be added directly to the Yo Gotti article, then it should be kept on a separate article. Regardless of how the information is added, it is factual, relevant information.

Note: Please keep in mind the importance of an artist's discography or musical works (whether some of the artist's musical works themselves have been covered significantly or not, the artist has)

It probably is. Yo Gotti (Mario Mims) was a prominent underground rap artist before he made it into the mainstream music industry.
