Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free audio or music sample true for The Ecstatic
Description	This is the sample from a recording of "Auditorium". Copyright in the recording is believed to belong to the label, Downtown Records, or the artist, Mos Def. Additional information: "Auditorium", from Mos Def's The Ecstatic. Original length: 4:34.
Source	The Ecstatic
Article	The Ecstatic
Portion used	27sec, 57kbit/s OGG.
Low resolution?	The sample is of sufficient quality for commentary and identification, but its quality is reduced from the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for "unauthorised distribution" or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original recording.
Purpose of use	Section; illustrates a song discussed in "Music and lyrics", specifically Mos Def's boastful rapping, in-rhythm-with-the-beat delivery, and complex imagery set against eccentric, Eastern music samples (also Madlib's production) and global influences; the verse illustrated in the audio sample is discussed in the section..
Replaceable?	As a sample from a copyrighted musical recording, the sample is not replaceable by free content; any other sample from the same recording would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Songwriters: Dante Smith, Otis Jackson Jr., Richard Walters Producer: Madlib and Mos Def Copyright: © 2009 Downtown Records
