Since 2 July 2017, 69.14.175.253 keeps changing content at hip hop album articles and hip hop artist articles in violation of WP:V and WP:BLP. I suspect that Legendswillneverdie and 69.14.175.253 have been operated by the same person.
For example, at Thug Life: Volume 1, both users replaced "September 26, 1994" with "October 11, 1994" without citing any reliable sources (diff, diff).
At 1212 (album), both users replaced "featuring The Alchemist and Evidence" with "featuring Step Brothers" and replaced "featuring Ill Bill, Reef the Lost Cauze and Vinnie Paz" with "featuring Heavy Metal Kings and Reef the Lost Cauze" (diff, diff).
At Born Like This, both users replaced "a studio album" with "the sixth studio album" without citing any reliable sources (diff, diff).
At Lateef the Truthspeaker, both users added the unsourced date of birth (diff, diff).
Some of their changes have been already reverted by other users such as Binksternet, Dan56, and Koala15. Addtionally, Vanjagenije warned Legendswillneverdie to stop abusing multiple accounts, writing, "You were already blocked because of the disruptive logged-out editing, but you continued that behavior. Nest time, it might be indefinite block" (diff). 153.204.98.36 (talk) 22:45, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

- I don't see the violation of WP:MULTIPLE which would make this a serious case. The editor interaction tool shows that these two have really only edited one article in quick succession (six minutes apart), and if you look at all the contributions at Loyalty Is Royalty you will see that there is a complete lack of edit warring as a tag team.

- Most of the diffs in the original poster's evidence section are separated by a lot of time, for instance 22 months for Lateef the Truthseeker, and two years for Thug Life: Volume 1. Rather than treat this as a sockpuppet problem, I would treat it as one account which makes some troublesome edits. Binksternet (talk) 23:52, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
