Secondary Sources[edit]
The secondary sources that I have unfortunately are youtube videos. The first is of a radio interview (posted by one of the DJs referenced in the video) where another DJ on the show introduces her as the only undefeated female champion (at that time), makes a personal reference to watching Mahogany Jones defeat her competitors, and referred his co-hosts and listening audience to check out the original video themselves. (See video interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLmrMUNoXDg) However, the original video of her battling is no longer available on 106 & Park's website (their archives go back to 2009; she won in 2001). Video of her battle was included in 106 & Park Top 10 Live 500th Show Celebration (29 Nov. 2002), which I already referenced with an imdb.com link. The imdb.com link lists "Mahogany Jones" appearing as "Herself- - Freestyle Friday Champion (archive footage)." Also, the wikipedia page has her listed under 4 time champions with no one listed as having defeated her and no other female rapper are listed as having won before her.
The second youtube video is a short documentary. Unfortunately, I have not been able to obtain any contact information to get the producer's source or a non-youtube link to their video. Clearly, this youtube link is not the original video but this bootleg copy has been shared on a lot of websites.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU7hVXT16gQ)
Other than that, the one particular remark asking to be cited cannot be cited without using remarks she has made in interviews or from information in bio listed on the websites of her places of employment.
What would you suggest? Should I leave the comment until someone else can verify it, can I use the youtube link/s, or should I just remove that one specific remark until I can find a secondary source?
