General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is approved, but I don't find the hooks interesting, as it is not unusual for an artist to include their own songs in their films or to perform accoustic versions of their song. I have proposed some alternate hooks below; let me know what you think.

~~ALT4~~ALT5: ... that the lyrics of "Street Lights" allude to the death of Kanye West's mother?

ALT5: ... that Kanye West's inspiration for "Street Lights" was the movement of lights while driving a car? Z1720 (talk) 18:31, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Z1720 I sympathise if you wish for me to change the hook; I will use the one about inspiration, which I have reworded above... how's that? --K. Peake 20:35, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

I have struck out my ALT5 proposal, and renamed my ALT 4 as ALT 5. All ALTs are approved, with a preference for Kyle Peake's ALT4. I'll let the preppers decide which is best. Z1720 (talk) 20:48, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Z1720 Shouldn't interesting be checked off then, plus isn't it up to you to pick which alt? --K. Peake 06:34, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

@Kyle Peake: The green tick beside my last comment indicates that this ready for promotion to the hook set (but I changed the template anyways). Although I approve the hooks, the preppers decide which one is promoted to the hook set. I indicated my preference, so I hope the hook setters take that into consideration, but I like giving the preppers options so they can decide which one they think is best.

Yeah that makes sense; I just tweaked ALT5 for you to fix the grammar. --K. Peake 21:10, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
