Infobox and lead

• Only 2018 should be listed as the recording date in the infobox since mastering/mixing was 2019 work
• Use bullet points instead for genres per Template:Infobox album, also why are they ordered differently from in the body?

Background and recording

Music and lyrics

• "and screaming synths."" → "and screaming synths"." per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences and add the pipe
• Pipe to alternative hip hop should be on experimental hip hop, as this is the alternate name for the genre
• What is the point of [17] when it does not mention the above genre?
• [19][20] should be at the end of the sentence since only the word record follows that genre here
• [21] and [22] should only be after noise, as refs shouldn't be invoked twice in a sentence and that's the later comma

• Add release years of Smile and FanMail in brackets
• "Kanye West and" → "Kanye West, and"

• The humorous and aggressive parts are unsourced, also is the word ironic needed when the quote backs that up?

• [20] should be solely at the end of the sentence before [24]
• Where is prejudice sourced?
• "groupthink critics and online" → "groupthink critics, and online"

• Pipe chorus to Refrain
• The sitcom title part is not sourced

• "of guitar" which" → "of guitar", which"
• [32] and [30] should not be mid-sentence when they are at the end

• Remove wikilink on Kenny Beats

• [‡ 3] should be after the next comma instead because it is used for the title too

• "the second single," → "the second single" with the pipe, but this date is not sourced

Critical reception
