Mario & Timati

Ma$e

The musical career section is kind of hard to understand. it is broken down into sections which are labeled after his albums, but a lot of his musical work is not directly related to his own albums. For Mase's 1999 album Double Up, Mario is listed twice as a producer. I was about to just add Mase to the list of Bad Boy artists under the --Story of My Heart-- section, but realized that the year 1999 didn't fit into the 1995-97 heading; and now looking again, neither does "I Need A Girl". I'm not sure if modifying the years "(1995-97)" to encompass other timeline entries in that paragraph is enough either; it's possible a re-write is needed. For now, I am adding Ma$e to the list of Bad Boy artists whose work was produced by Mario Winans. Wcichello (talk) 15:17, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Claim that Enya re-recorded Boadicea?

What is the source for the claim that Enya re-recorded Boadicea for use in "I Don't Wanna Know"? Confusingly, that claim follows this statement, "Enya and her representatives said yes to Winans and P. Diddy for her approval of the sample." So, was Boadicea sampled, or did Enya re-record it for Mario? In every Enya interview I can find, she or her producer Nicky Ryan state they were sampled, and say nothing about re-recording any part of Boadicea for Mario or anyone else.
