Brownside[edit]

Appears to have become gang advertising page. Delete (speedy if there is a consensus to do it). --Nlu (talk) 05:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. They seem to have made lots of records, although the article has no discussion of tours. One record has been re-released (see http://www.redeyeusa.com/item.php?item_num=CD-PRRI-74800 ) and that page makes claims of impressive sales figures.

Weak Keep, Allmusic lists several albums out, including an AMG Album Pick and a re-release noted by Truthbringer. Other Google hits seem to indicate that the group was Eazy-E's only Latino hip-hop proteges, which may be notable considering the rapper's influence in the gangsta-rap genre and overall industry. None of the albums released was on a big-name indie label, though the article indicates a few songs were released on Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. A lot of this is borderline-WP:MUSIC at best, but I'm not going to wikilawyer this one. -- H·G (^words/_works) 07:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note - that said, if it's kept, this article needs some cleanup, and some supervision to make sure it doesn't become a gang advertisement like Nlu has observed. -- H·G (^words/_works) 07:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
