thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Readytodieoriginalalbumcover.jpg

message: The article mentions that "Gimme the Loot" sampled "Singing in the Morning" by Ohio Players, and that that the sample was removed in newer versions of the album. However, if you buy the album on iTunes, only two of the tracks are marked as having samples removed - "Ready to Die" and "Machine Gun Funk". Listening to the old and new tracks online, I don't hear a difference for the "Gimme the Loot" track. Has it been verified that "Gimmie the Loot" actually samples the song "Singing in the Morning"? I see articles mentioning it when talking about the lawsuit, but there's no mention of it having a sample removed other than in this article. Patorjk (talk) 04:21, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I figured it out! The sample occurs at 4:52 under the coughing. It's in the original and on the Remaster. So it appears this sample was *not* removed from the Remastered version of the album.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patorjk (talk • contribs) 22:18, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Refs #2 and #9 need publishers and accessdates. I'm not sure why ref #11 () is reliable, it appears to be a blog. There are also a few minor MoS issues, for example a space between the ref and the period and miscapitalisations in the lead. Minor issues that can be easily fixed. naerii - talk 20:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've took care of the things you brought up, I removed the 'Re-Issues' section because it was unnecessary and I cleaned-up all the refs. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 22:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Hardly any mention of Easy Mo Bee's contribution to this album, and a lot of "executive producer Sean 'Puffy the Vampire Playa' Combs"; I'd rewrite it myself if I knew a bit more about it.... 94.9.207.181 (talk) 20:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The single was actually "One More Chance / Stay With Me (Remix)" and completely different from the album track other than the chorus lyrics.  Should it be removed from the album page?Ulmanor (talk) 16:27, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
