Untitled[edit]

The back of Busta Rhymes' It Ain't Safe No More album labels "I Know What You Want" as being by Busta Rhymes "feat. Mariah Carey & the Flipmode Squad". This is even how this article was labeled for quite some time. Wikipedia is not meant to give infactual information. --FuriousFreddy 01:21, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Freddy, when the song officially charted, it was labeled as "Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey featuring The Flipmode Squad". Please do not keep putting in infactual information. OmegaWikipedia 01:42, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How is information infactual when I mentioned my source? Here is a direct link: [1]. Now you show me your chart. Billboard chart information should not override a record label's official and factual documentation and records. --FuriousFreddy 02:23, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I dont have any Billboards with me, but I will be glad to find one. Yes, Billboard chart information shold override a labeling issue. Often artists who perform and may get credited on a track are not officialy credited when the song charts OmegaWikipedia 02:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

I Know What You Want" was a hit 2003 duet single.

POV! (apparently, according to this page's very author)

In this dark yet seductive club banger

POV!

The single was a major hit across the world.

POV!

"I Know What You Want": Carey tempts Busta Rhymes

POV!

Carey is in stylish gear as she advertises her own brand of jewellery, Automatic Princess

POV! (ah yes...monotonous, isn't it?)

--FuriousFreddy 05:41, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Um, the single WAS ...a major hit across the world.

Charts?[edit]

I can only find that it peaked on the Hot 100 at number 86 and the fancruft found here and in other articles mentioning the song really ruins the quality of Mariah's Wiki pages. http://www.billboard.com/song/busta-rhymes/1514990/i-know-what-you-want?mobile_redirection=false --Cprice45 (talk) 16:54, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
