Video
The video was supposed to premier today wasnt it? --The-G-Unit-Boss 14:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, on BET, however, there is no source for this. --- Realest4Life 14:42, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks like tonight according to this --The-G-Unit-Boss 14:44, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * All right, I used that as a reference. --- Realest4Life 14:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok. It should be quite a good video --The-G-Unit-Boss 14:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess. --- Realest4Life 14:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

The Bentley, Aston and Lotus are all owned by the respective car companies in the UK. Interestingly, they don't show the woman tryin to get out of the Elise. It's a sod at the best of times. LewisR (talk) 18:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Current single template
I didn't get to explain my edit other than entering "That'" because I accidently hit enter. I meant to say that that is your opinion, your edits are vandalism, the template exists for a reason (it might be deleted, but until then, it can stay), I can just say there's no need for the infobox, it shouldn't be there. It's a current single, it's on the charts, therefore the template stays, if you continue to vandalize, you will be reported. --- Realest4Life 03:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * So what if the template is up for deletion? If it will be deleted, some bot will remove it. This is ridiculous. --- Realest4Life 03:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * HEHtell me earlier EDIT:It's just that I removed them in other pages and they leaved me alone. Hartebeest 03:21, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe because no one else was interested in those pages. You have to explain your edits, not just "no need for it", maybe say it's up for deletion, otherwise your edits could be considered vandalism. --- Realest4Life 03:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

The music
There must be a place that the music itself has been discussed. It sounds very much like an 80s computer game or a modern keygen. Perhaps there is some meaning regarding this? --NeF 09:14, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a Chiptune. User:gmip 58.106.67.247 (talk) 06:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The meaning is that Timbaland bought a SIDstation a while back and used it to rip off Glenn Rune Gallefoss and Tempest and now he's making mediocre songs with a boring arpeggio line running all through them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.10.24.105 (talk) 02:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Its another futuristic beat by timbaland thats what it is, amazing beat though that probly my best ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanjohns (talk • contribs) 19:00, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the beat is by Crystal Castles —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.199.194.193 (talk) 17:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's not. There is a lot of talk online about who sampled what, and it seems the consensus among intelligent people (not Crystal Castles or Timbaland fanboys) is that they each used the same sound library or sample CD. It is extremely unlikely that Timbaland would sample a song that hadn't even come out until several months later. I'd sooner believe Crystal Castles sampled him, given that their song was released after and they are just as notorious about stealing music (and T-shirts!) from lesser known artists as he is, but it's more likely they each used the same loop from someone else. Crystal Castles fans, please don't edit the page again until you have proof on who sampled who or what. 216.185.5.254 (talk) 13:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It's seeming less and less likely that CC were first. 72.66.80.133 (talk) 17:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It is a modified sample from an 8 Bitz Style sample cd, which has been used by Timbaland before. See: http://thomascrownchronicles.blogspot.com/2007/11/boogies-sample-of-week.html This section of the wikipedia article has been written as to defend Timbaland following the Nelly Furtado "Do It" controversy. However, sampling does not mean stealing. A Sample in digital audio production is recorded sound, such as kicks, snares, vocals, or music as opposed to sound produced through synthesizers. Compare this version of the sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e_MSqaq4wM (fit to the 50 cent track) to the original 50 cent track. User:gmip 58.106.67.247 (talk) 06:08, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Added to Category:Songs that need attention and added a Citation Needed tag. Also, is the disambiguation page needed? This article is the only one that exists. User:gmip 58.106.67.247 (talk) 06:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Song meaning
I already edited this page once but I was accused of defamatory content. So instead of reverting my revision, I'll throw this out there and see what everyone else thinks. All I changed was the deal at the very top of the page, changing it from "the song is about a man who is tired of using technology" to "the song is about a man who is tired or pornography, instead preferring the real thing" (or something similar. I forget the exact wording but that's close enough). NOW. Given the original title (Ayo Pornography) and taking the video into context, I figured it was rather obvious that that was what the song was about. Although given further thought, I would probably try and reword my revision as well, keeping it brief but still trying to do the meaning justice. It seems obvious to me that the song is not about "a man who is tired of technology", given that most of the lyrics are about a woman. Thoughts? Levid37 02:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Satanic content when played backwards?
There is a video on youtube about how the song contains satanic messages and references to occult topics, when you hear in a reversed format. If true, can we mention it in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.37.115 (talk) 15:45, 3 October 2008
 * See Backmasking. I suggest you investigate List of backmasked messages User:gmip 58.106.67.247 (talk) 06:18, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Timbaland singles chronology
Should we count this as a Timbaland single for infobox purposes? Currently different articles treat it differently, so it breaks the 'linked list' of these. Judging by the article text which says he's generally not credited as a 'featured artist', I'd be inclined to say 'no'. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 09:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
