Video

"Video is displayed on the widescreen bars" - eh? If theres video in what would be the black bars on a 16:9 or similar widescreen video letterboxed on a 4:3 screen, that means the video is 4:3. Not widescreen. Of if this means the black zones to the edge of a 4:3 image centered on a 16:9 TV, that means the video is 16:9, thats all. Can someone show a screen grab of the video to explain whats meant by this? --Kiand 17:21, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, someones done this. Just shows that the production kit is 4:3, because that'll appear as a 4:3 pillar box on a widescreen TV assuming the right switch signals are sent... --Kiand 20:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, having seen it, it uses more space than what would be the bars on a 16:9 video... --Kiand 22:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All it means is that, like other Hype Williams videos at the time, the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen show different parts of the video. If you've seen it you should understand.

I've seen it, it uses far more space than letterboxing a widescreen video would. --62.77.181.1 16:53, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Funky Cold Medina

I found this song somewhat similar to Funky Cold Medina (or at least a version I had), do you agree? Waldir 03:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Controlmyselfshot.jpg

Image:Controlmyselfshot.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Samples

Why does it say that it samples from "Looking for the Perfect Beat" and "Holla at Me". That doesn't make any sense. Both "Holla at Me" and "Control Myself" sampled from "Looking for the Perfect Beat". Control Myself came out before Holla at Me. How could he sample from a song that wasn't made yet? Besides, why take the same sample from 2 songs? I'm removing Holla at Me from the list of samples--72.88.107.99 (talk) 23:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
