Murder Inc. is such a bullshit label. The professionalism is like, non existent, and this dumbass is here running his mouth about gettin' down with Ashanti, who seems to try and hide this shit. She needs to pray for Murder Inc to drop her ass so she can go to a more professional label, since the scrutiny with Murder Inc is terrible. Irv's ass was probably lying about gettin' some from Ashanti, just to hate on her ass. Dumb shit like this is why I cannot do Murder Inc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonycask (talk • contribs) 07:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:The Declaration.jpg

Image:The Declaration.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.

Confirmed tracks

Aside from the lead single, I see no sources for any of these titles. Citations are needed or I am deleting these from the article. Anyone have a reliable source? - eo (talk) 18:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Album Sales

I deleted the album sales section for The Declaration because someone stated that this album sold 2.1 million copies worldwide. That is far from the truth; it has only sold about 253,000 worldwide.

Please make sure information is accurate and not hyperbolic. That would have made this album the 3rd best selling of this year and it's not.

Check your sources and cite them please, thank you
