Rationale of fair use for sample to be used on Roman Holiday (song) and Nicki Minaj
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 no more than 30 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.

Explicit rational for each inclusion of this media file

 * In Nicki Minaj, it illustrates the transition of her two key alter egos, under the section "Alter Ego". Because the song displays multiple alter egos, it is the best piece of media available for illustrating this point. Without the media, readers may not be able to discern exactly how alter ego's are instrumental to Minaj's discography. No free alternative yet exists, making it irreplaceable. It is a low quality snippet of the original work and is no longer than 30 seconds as per fair use.
 * In "Roman Holiday (song)", the snippet illustrates the use of alter egos in the song. It also displays the use of particular genres for critical acclaim. No free alternative yet exists, making it irreplaceable. It is a low quality snippet of the original work and is no longer than 30 seconds as per fair use.
 * In Persona, the snippet helps illustrate the section on the popularity of alter egos in pop music. Without the clip, it would be difficult to understand the depth to which artists employ personae in their craft. Minja's instance (best depicted in this song) is unique in that her vocals are noticeably altered to fit the persona, whereas the other examples provided are either only physical caricatures or are practically undetectable. No free alternative yet exists, making it irreplaceable. It is a low quality snippet of the original work and is no longer than 30 seconds as per fair use.
