Edit request from ItsBrayden, 18 December 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Under "Composition", there is a word that is misspelled. It should be "behind", not "hehind."

Original Reference Track from J. Cole

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWYOXKx3OGU

Track from J. Cole was originally a demo for Diddy with different verses. Not a song meant for J. Cole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.113.164.194 (talk) 22:53, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Not clear. Youtube is not a good source. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | (talk) 22:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Not reliable source. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 17:55, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Singers

Maybe this is an obvious question, but do the other members of Dirty Money sing on the track? I've watched the video, but can't seem to figure out if Dawn and Kalenna are actually recorded on the track and just appear to be singing in the video over Skylar's voice, or if they are both apart of the recorded track and the video. --Criticalthinker (talk) 01:25, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

From the official album booklet... Skylar Grey, Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper are credited as performers on the track. I believe (but dont quote me) that Skylar recorded the chorus then the pitch/volume was decreased by 50%, then Kalenna and Dawn recorded the chorus and the two were layered together to make 100% pitch/volume. Additionally Dawn has vocals in one of the verses (adlibs) as does Kalenna. Interesting ... Cassie provides background vocals for this already crowded track. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 01:29, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to talk in an old post but shouldn't we add that Skylar grey released a squeal? Pug6666 (talk) 18:39, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

German release

The single is released 21 January, 2011 not 14th! SOURCE--79.216.163.172 (talk) 02:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

•  Done. Next time please use the proper request format. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 02:12, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Sections

There is a problem with the sections in the article. why does "Inspiration and composition" is in the same?
And, in this section there isn't information about the start of the song, it starts "from the middle"... Thanks! Ofekalef (talk) 17:25, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Inspiration is the motivation behind the song, composition is all about the production. Not the same thing. Alsot he very first sentence says which opens with a "simple piano intro" and a "delicate vocal verse from [Skylar] Grey so not sure what you're getting at. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 01:22, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Now I understand (first I wasn't sure). There is a need with the Background section, like i Born... Ofekalef (talk) 10:39, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Every article is different. There isn't the same info. that there is for Born This Way. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 21:48, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Lead

• "The contemporary hip-hop pop song was written by Diddy, Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, Alex da Kid and Skylar Grey, the latter of whom also has featured vocals in the chorus." - clumsy
• "Inspired by autobiographical moments in Diddy's life," - moments are not autobiographical
• AMAs should not be italicised

Chart Topper

In the introduction the single is said to have topped both the Belgium Ultratip charts (btw pretty sure ultratip is a typo). However, in the charts table it only ranks at 17 and 27 in both the Belgium Ultratop charts. Could somebody please clean this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.73.117 (talk) 16:28, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
