Year of birth

Can anyone confirm this? The article says 1985, the category says 1987! Robwingfield (talk) 22:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's 1987. Seen it on loads of other sites. http://www.hiphopgalaxy.com/lady-sovereign-article3622.html Triangle e 21:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Her website has a part called "blog". She quotes a press release stating she's 19. I believe TRL also said she is 19. I have seen 19 many places, and this is the only place I've seen it stated she's over 21. --Ali Karbassi 15:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I just read an article in Vibe which said she was 21, which would make her date of birth 1985 or possibly 1984. [1] There shouldn't be a date there until we can sort it out. JF Mephisto 03:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There's a current BBC photo which shows her at her 21st birthday, which confirms that her date of birth is 1985. Stuart McN 11:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)Stuart McN[reply]

Jay-Z CEO of DEF Jam?

This article states that Jay-Z is the CEO of DEF Jam Recording. Is this accurate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.154.60.249 (talk • contribs) 21:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's what it says here: Def_Jam_Recordings#The_Island_Def_Jam_Music_Group. I guess any disagreement should be discussed there first. Robwingfield (talk) 09:26, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty well established that Jay-Z is head of the Def Jam division of Island Def Jam. See this article for more. hateless 22:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geezette?

A geezette is a female geezer innit? Definition "The typical cockney jack the lad. They dress up smart to normally pull 'birds' favourites being Stone Island and Burberry. Theyre basically like a better meaner version of a Chav and not bad people to know aslong as you just prove your a 'geezer'. Sorted me ol' mucker... Lady Sovereign is a female version of that. AntonioBu 06:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Um....say that again...? What language you speaking?

A geezette is a female geezer isn't it? A typical cockney jack/lad normally dresses well to attract women with whom to have sex, favourite areas (or possibly clothing labels, I dunno) being SI/Bur. They' basically a better, meaner version of chavs (q.v.) and blah blah blah. Sorted (taken care of), my friend. LS is a female... --207.216.10.77 16:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Learn to speak Zerg![reply]

"to be exact"?

I don't know how wikipedia dates work, but somebody should clean up the last sentence of par.2: "She is expected to release a studio album in 2006 October 3rd 2006 to be exact."

Style of music

  • Before: Due to the commercial failure of her grime records, her label asked that she change her style of music to better suit pop/rap culture.
  • After: Sorry but I personally had to remove that whole sentence. Record label did not tell me to change my music. you have to be in my mind to know my music properly. Anyway thats all. Just wanted to clear that up. [2] 80.0.13.76 (talk • contribs)

Lady Sovereign is possibly the worst musical artist of all time and is sure to annoy anyone she comes into conact with.

I reverted that change on Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Autobiography grounds but have tagged the previous sentence with a citation required tag. Could someone who knows this musician's work please double check this and provide a 3rd party source ? --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  13:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The sound is clearly grime. Grime is of course related to hip hop music. The difference is that grime is raps on garage style electro influence beats and it's British. --193.171.131.249 16:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC) (de:Benutzer:Hagenk)[reply]

First played in North America

The date and location given for the first airplay in North America is wrong. I heard the song 'Love me or hate me' in Austin, TX at least as early as mid-July on 101x. In any event, it's unverifiable and doesn't really belong does it? 72.181.190.100 03:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Age contradiction

"is a 20 year old British grime MC."

"Lady Sovereign is 5 ft. 2 and she's 19."

Please, pick one and go with it. hopefully, someone has a source to back it up. dposse 00:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found a source that says she's 20 so I rewrote the article to include this and cited the source. Gregems 03:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Lady Sovereign MySpace profile says she is 19 and 5' 1". So apparently its hard to cite how tall she is, as well as how old she is. Amazingracer 05:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Early Life

The entire article appears under the heading "Early Life". I am not sure how to split it up. Eli lilly 21:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


General Nature of Article

It should be pointed out that her voice has been pointed out as the sound that makes one want to punch babies, first mentioned by Dane Cook? Tonedawg2189 1:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


This article needs to be recoded. help. M8gen 09:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed most of it. My guess is it was due to vandalism. Anom8trw8 06:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
thanks! it looks much better. M8gen 06:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion Rather Than Fact

A comment under "Early Life" states: "In the rap industry, school education is unnecessary, most other successful mainstream rappers to date didn't graduate high school."

The same could be said for ANY industry, if you happen to be naturally good at whatever it is you do for a living. Generally speaking, education is necessary to build one's skill level. Specific to rap/music, increasing one's vocabulary would certainly be beneficial. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.155.52.21 (talk) 20:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Gay?

IS she really homosexual/lesbian? IF so, somebody cite references that she is a lesbian.Triple-Quadruple 00:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to say the same thing, but for some reason I'm guessing it's an immature attack on her; like someone calling something gay, so yeah..reference it please. Actually, I suggest we remove it until it is referenced. Oreo 2 January 2007
