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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
