This is a nice article, just some prose concerns just need to be adressed;
 * In the Early life section, it says "Both of his parents are African Americans from the South Side of Chicago;[3] they relocated to Compton in 1984, when they were teenagers, due to his father's affiliation with the Gangster Disciples." Consider splitting into two sentence, like "Both of his parents are African Americans from the South Side of Chicago.[3] When they were teenagers, they relocated to Compton in 1984, due to his father's affiliation with the Gangster Disciples." 750h+ (talk) 02:56, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Minor grammatical error in the Early life section: "Lamar and his family lived in Section 8 housing, was reliant on welfare and food stamps, and experienced homelessness." was should be changed to were. 750h+ (talk) 02:59, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Where it says "It done something to me right then and there", change that to "It done [sic] something to me right then and there", since that is what he quoted, but it is grammatically incorrect. 750h+ (talk) 03:05, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * "Inge played a vital role in his intellectual growth, often critiquing his lexicon and suggesting prompts to strengthen his prose." What is Inge? 750h+ (talk) 03:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Link gang war. 750h+ (talk) 03:10, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The rest of the article's prose is good. Address my above concerns and I will mark the prose as good.
