[edit] Comment

Please remove the trivia section from this, much of it is nonsense and the rest is poorly written.

[edit] MySpace is not a reputable source

The article is way too long considering the subject matter. If I wanted to hear about how Necro is so great, I'd go to his myspace page. TuPac deserves a long page, Biggie and Snoop deserve long pages. Necro does not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.195.52 (talk) 07:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

Someone has to update this Biography. His last album was "The Prefix for Death".

This article is a bit too effusive, doesn't match the tone of other musician bios.

I cut a bunch of the stuff that was making this article read like an advertisement as well as outdated info. Still not perfect, but much better in my opinion. Buzda 08:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Added the Blood Brothers album to the collaborations, as its not Necro alone, but Necro & Ill Bill, i also changed the year from 2005 to 2006.

[edit] okay

Removed the following parts in an attempt to make the article sound less like a Necro ad:

"A Necro headlining performance draws an average of 300-500 people in cities such as New York City, London, Chicago, Toronto, Providence, etc. Across the U.S., Necro can pack in 100-500 people depending on the state and region. Necro's live appeal continues to grow especially in New York City, where his shows have grown more turbulent with the audience stage diving and starting mosh pits."

"Necro's fan base is worldwide and this is evident by the 100+ million hits he has received on his official website, www.necrohiphop.com. Every day the website receives 10,000 unique user sessions and the numbers are intensed to grow. With an online merchant account, www.necrohiphop.com has received orders for Psycho+Logical-Records and Necro Films merchandise from places as diverse as Australia, South Africa, Germany, Japan, Iceland and the United Kingdom."

Both pieces strike me as unencyclopaedic, somewhat POV, and kind of sycophantish. No hate.

Reworded some parts. Still needs work; heavy on the passive voice. --Marco Passarani 03:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Well the main reason those parts seem so unencyclopedic is because most of this article was a copy+paste job of Necro's bio on his official site. Buzda 06:03, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

you should get some pics

What is this comparison for? "In evidence of this success, what allegedly took Wal-Mart 11 years and 15 locations to gross over $1 million in sales, Necro made over $1.2 million by 2006, in half the time." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.73.200 (talk) 01:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV?

I believe that the current version is sufficiently NPOV to remove the 'advertisement' tag. Any objections? Colonel Tom 06:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

{{advert}} removed as no objections recorded. Colonel Tom 05:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop vandalizing this article already

Congradulations, you hate Necro. Now get a fucking life. Buzda 03:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I have a life. Which is why I hate necro.

Then you deserve your life for being such an ignorant human being. R-Tiztik 18:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The relations with Ill Bill

It isn't true that Necro and Ill Bill are brothers, they are in fact cousins. They do portray themselves as brothers for living under the same roof as children. If I correctly remember, Necros father raised both boys. I'm such a new user of wikipedia that I'd rather not try to make these corrections, but someone else should.

Piritiri 00:54, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

they're brothers.... ---burgz. 19:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah they are in fact brothers

nECRO RULES

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sexorcist.jpg

Image:Sexorcist.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
