Overall: 
@Onegreatjoke and FormalDude: Right, the article should already check most of the basic requirements. I'll just note that I've cited that Complex article one more time on the album's page, so that both the statements included in the hook are now covered by the same source. Also, technically, the viral lyrics came from a specific song on the album, so it could be useful to add one more slight clarification to the hook; this is just a pet peeve of mine, though!

- @FormalDude: By the way, the ALT hooks you wrote both look good, but since you inserted them after the actual nomination was submitted, I don't know if we can still use them...
- @Theleekycauldron: What do you think about it? Oltrepier (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Oltrepier: I'm pretty sure anyone can suggest ALT hooks. ––FormalDude (talk) 18:19, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yep, pretty much anyone can add an ALT at any time before the nomination is closed. It's a part of the workshopping process! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 19:06, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
@FormalDude and Theleekycauldron: Right, thank you for clarifying it!
