Fair use rationale for use in The Emancipation of Mimi
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics, musical and vocal style, and may contain part of the song's chorus.
 * It is a sample of 20 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
 * It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
 * It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
 * The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should be used in place of this audio sample.

Additional rationale
As the album's opening number, critics noted the song's arty theme, and motif regarding emancipation and celebration. This clip features the hand claps and whistles used throughout the song. It also illustrates the song's piano and string notes. Jermaine Dupri's ad-libs are heard toward the end of the sample, followed by Fat Man Scoop's closing verse.
