Talk:It's All about the Benjamins

Here's a few questions I need answered about this song:

  • Did the original version of the song have the same instrumental as the No Way Out version?
  • Has the word "Hebrews" been removed from the line "We see through, that's why nobody never gon' believe you, You should do what we do, stack chips like *Hebrews*" in every version of the song?
  • Has the Rock Remix ever been released uncensored? I have the song on ESPN'S Jock Rock 2000 cd as well as on a Puff Daddy single and both versions are edited.
  • Why has "Hot 97" been edited out of most releases of this song?

[edit] I don't like the rock remix but the rock remix likes me?

It would appear that Marilyn Manson interpolated parts of the rock remix for the refrain of "I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)" from the album Mechanical Animals. Is this true? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 18:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Interesting. I've heard the song before, but I don't remember anything similar to the rock remix. Do you have any examples? Buzda 12:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weird Al's "parody"

I changed this last bit because Al's version isn't exactly a parody.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Benjamins.jpg

Image:Benjamins.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 01:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
