Jim Jones?

Can someone please tell me where you can hear Jim Jones? Because I cannot hear him at all in this song and people continue to say he's featured. SE KinG (talk) 00:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it samples his song. And there are cases where a song has been sampled and the original artist is featured on it. Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk) 04:29, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NC aside, for the moment, this is a published artistic work. Therefore, the title is a proper name. Proper names are always capitalized, save for words such as "a" (unless the first word of the title), "of," and "the" (unless the first word of the title).

As such, Get Like Me is the proper title. To be specific, Get Like Me (song) should be the proper title of this article. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Like" is a preposition. And why would we need the "(song)" part? ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 19:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Per what I've already posted on your page, "Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is almost always capitalized in English (for example, proper names)." Thus it is correct to capitalize "Like" in this instance, as it is part of a song title, which is a proper name. The (song) notation is proper to differentiate between this song and any other work that might exist, such as a book or other item of the same title. To be more specific, (David Banner song) might even be more accurate. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 20:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The "(song)" part is only for when there's another article with that name. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 20:23, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You missed the point. However, per Amazon.com's tracklisting for the album, the title does not include (Stuntin is a Habit). As such, the article needs to be moved back to Get Like Me (song). --InDeBiz1 (talk) 20:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Stuntin Is a Habit" appears in the iTunes title. And if it has to be moved back anywhere,it should be Get like Me. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 20:59, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So? iTunes is not always a reliable source. I will reach out to a representative of Universal Motown and get the official title. Per my previous comment on the subject, your proposed move would be incorrect. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 21:01, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fine,then we should move it to "Get like Me", and we don't need "(song)" since there's no other article called "Get like Me". ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 21:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
