  • Very funny lyrics, but this does not belong in a Wikipedia article. Rikoozik 05:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Aren't including the entire lyrics for a song in an article a copyright violation? Rawr 17:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


  • I think the comparisons part is out of place in this article, as it seems to be mostly opinion. Is there any way to integrate this into the article? We can't cite people's posts on message boards for this, so I've reproduced it below for now until we can come up with a way to integrate this without it being hearsay:

Comparisons Speak as a character can be compared to Ali G, because like Ali G, he does not fit within the traditional stereotypical definition of a rap artist. The improper use of rap catch phrases and colloquialisms are defining characteristics of both characters, however, Speak is not meant to be a comedic character, but a legitmate Hungarian rapper that unintentionally comes off as humorous. Ali G on the other hand is intended to be a humorous character and is a role played by the comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, of Borat fame. Rikoozik 05:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright infringement

Unless you can clearly demonstrate that the lyrics have been released under the GNU Free Documentation License or to the public domain by the artist, they are not appropriate to place either in the article or on this talk page. Since I can find no such release or any reason to believe that's happened, I've removed them. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 02:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Future and Influence

We need sources for the Future and Influence sections. Rikoozik 04:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
