Would anyone want to help me write a breakdown of song meanings for this album? The Aquemini page is amazingly done.

[edit] songs

Added song descriptions; some of the lyrics are really hard to summarize since they don't always have continuity or overarching themes; so some of my descriptions are a little awkwardly written especially towards the end since I was tired and ran out of vocabulary to describe different sounds.

Andre's lyrics on this can definitely get more than a little ridiculous at times. still my favorite OutKast album outta the ones i have though, with Aquemini at #2 and ATLiens at #3 (the last of which i really don't see why people think is that good,) but that's thanks a lot to the production.

what about speakerboxx/the love below--are u one of those people who think they sold out?

I removed the song descriptions. While such wording would be fine for a personal review, the descriptions were written closer to the tone of objective reviews. An objective overview of the songs is a much better option. --FuriousFreddy 03:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] linked reviews

theres loads of links to buy.com.. should they be there? ..i can see they are meant to be citations.. but they aren't the actual reviews.. anyway, some of them are dead so should be removed regardless..

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:So Fresh, So Clean.jpg

Image:So Fresh, So Clean.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 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 05:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stankonia-both-covers.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Stankonia-both-covers.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
