His youngest son is the one nicknamed Bamboo:

"Got a son on the way by the name of Bamboo Got a lil baby girl for a year Jordan"

From Bombs Over Baghdad, this indicates Jordan is older. Also, Bamboo is featured in a skit on Speakerboxxx where he is clearly of toddler age (2-3 years old) which is consistent time-wise with him being "on the way" when BOB was recorded. Also, it's strange that Bamboo would be a nickname given to the child before he was born - I'm pretty sure it's his actual name, as Cross is never mentioned and not cited in the article.

[edit] Womanizing

I just changed the statement that Big Boi's musical personal enjoys "partying and womanizing" to just "partying." The word "womanizing" would lead someone unfamiliar with his work to think of Snoop or Shaggy. It's just too strong a word for Big Boi's persona. I reckon either statement would violate WP:OR in any case. JonathanPenton 19:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Album cover for Speakerboxxx.jpg

Image:Album cover for Speakerboxxx.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.
