this page should be deleted as the page for his album has actually been made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philliesrock91 (talk • contribs) 04:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the first two singles.

It doesn't make sense to label either one the first/second single because they were officially released on the same day. I think it would be better to say they were released concurrently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.8.76 (talk) 10:19, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, here's the problem. It's not fair to consider either of the first or second single, because they were released on the same day at the same time. So, My Time is not the second single, it's the first, along with Throw It in the Bag. 76.127.235.42 (talk) 20:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Singles can and are able to be released on the same day and be separate singles. For example, "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" were both released on the same day, but the former is the first single, while the latter is the second single. It doesn't make sense for two songs to be released as a lead single. — Σxplicit 00:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But how can you tell which is the first and which is the second if they were released at the exact same time? 76.127.235.42 (talk) 17:17, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Samples

I fail to understand why the samples need to have references.

Many other wiki articles citing samples do not have references. Yet is is normally obvious listening to the two that one is a sample of the other. There is often not articles on the internet that show such things, yet If MP3's or the like were to be uploaded to prove this point would it not be piracy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.34.221 (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly because the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. The fact that other articles do not include references for samples is not an issue in this article. If a song samples another, this is often verifiable from music reviews or something of the like. If the album's booklet verifies the samples, that can be used as a source. No one is asking for uploads to prove that there is a sample, it just needs to be cited. — ξ ^xplicit 23:48, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I have found some references, I do not know how to cite on Wikipedia, so I will leave the links here.

I've added references to two of the three samples. I can't use whosampled.com because the videos used were uploaded on YouTube as copyright infringements, as the uploaders do not hold the copyrights to the songs. Wikipedia does not link to copyright violations (see WP:YT). — ξ ^xplicit 05:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
