Confusing[edit]

In reality this isn't really a rap album. Many of the tracks wouldn't have sounded out of place on the Ramones' previous couple of albums and the overall the album is a rock/pop album with a couple of rap influenced tracks included.

I'm confused by this. The consensus among reviewers and other sources is that SITS is a "rap" album. Maybe the songs would not have sounded out of place on "the Ramones' previous couple of albums", but that does not make it "not a rap album". I think it is better to frame it as a rap album with a couple of rock-influenced tracks ("Baby Doll" and "Poor Little Rich Girl" are straight-up rock; the rest are hip-hop with various backing music, some of it being rock [e.g., "Emergency", "2 Much 2 Drink"]).

On a tangent, both "2 Much 2 Drink" and "German Kid" use the gloomy mid-80s rock chord progression from e.g. New Order's Low-Life. Besides, Wikipedia can't say that "in reality this isn't really a rap album" - it's not a magazine or blog entry. It would have to say "according to (source), QUOTE this isn't really a rap album UNQUOTE etc". -Ashley Pomeroy 16:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing wrong with this revision. Everything is sourced, theres no unnecessary details. It has a pretty good overview of the conception, production and reception, including cites from several reviews and reliable news magazines. GangsterPunk (talk) 09:34, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
