Lyrics

Is there any reason we can't link to the lyrics on this page? I've tried doing so in the article, in external links, please tell me what I should do so I stop wasting my time with all your "cleaning" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.172.103.15 (talk) 01:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't know how to add references etc, the information I got was from Lil Wayne's interview with Westwood, which can be heard at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?radio1/westwood. He confirms that he plays the guitar in the Lollipop video and that A Millie should be released soon.

Leak

A Millie has leaked out —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joc0626 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nu Jerzey Devil production

I noticed Nu Jerzey Devil has his watermark on the leaked track but it seems like it's a mixtape watermark, not a production one because it's too frequent. Wait until it is confirmed via Lil Wayne or another reputable source. --Ayoleftyz (talk) 02:25, 18 March 2008 (UTC) You can hear Shondrae "Bangladesh" Crawford say his name in the song —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.100.223.93 (talk) 03:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Leaked song is I'm Illie

The song that leaked is I'm Illie. That's the original street single. Not A Millie. Check number 1 reference on The Carter III page. Blender talks about it and the backgroung I'm Illie. Not A Millie.Bamamnm (talk) 04:09, 18 March 2008 (UTC) I think its I'm Illie too not A Millie. And the site they referencing doesn't have a song called A Millie[reply]

The track is "A Millie". The Blender article was a misprint or it was originally going to be called "I'm Illi", but changed. The refs are there to support it as "A Millie". --Ayoleftyz (talk) 20:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's "A Millie" too because in the song, he says "A millionaire, I'ma Young Money millionaire". So how could he be talking about being "illi" when he's talking about money? The Trillest Dude (talk) 21:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not Millie, it's illie. It was not a misprint in Blender, since they included it TWICE. Numerous web sources support it being Illie.⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 22:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I got a feeling it might be Millie, not Illie. We have the song to reference from, and we're taking info from a website? Come on now The Trillest Dude (talk) 23:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, we don't have the song to reference from. We reference from reliable sources, and Blender is as reliable as it gets. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 03:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really now, you've had to at least listened to the song before confirming it's Illie. And again I say, you're taking info from a website who might've just previewed the song and already assume it's Illie. The Trillest Dude (talk) 21:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3 Versions of the track

There are three versions of it, I have all three versions, if anybody doesnt believe me just go to youtube:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=25blJRAVLh8 < that is the third version (2.0) and it is easy to find one with cory gunz and one without. If you listen to the first verse you will be able to tell that the on with cory gunz is the dirty version and the one without is clean but still there are alot of differences. not much change in lyrics but more in flow. lyrics eg. in the dirty (cory gunz) version he says 'almighty power of that ch ch ch chopper' in clean version he says ' almighty power of allah'. There are differences in flow also, its hard to give an example but listen carefully to the first verses of the Cory Gunz and other version.

A Millie Single Cover?

Who put up that single cover on the page? Is that the real single cover or is it just a fan-made one? The Trillest Dude (talk) 12:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well the cover was taken down, so I don't think that nobody saw the cover. But for those who saw it, can anyone post up their reference of the cover? The Trillest Dude (talk) 15:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Official Release Date, Name & Cover

The track is entitled neither "A Millie" nor "I'm Illi," but simply "Milli." Check itunes; it provides the cover and title. I don't think the track features Corey Gunz anymore though. I didn't buy it to check since I already have the track.

Here's a link to the cover posted on itunes: http://i29.tinypic.com/264467m.jpg Tri-Edge (talk) 20:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Find a source that we can cite to that says that, and I'll move it. Otherwise, we're using Blender et al referring to it as I'm Illi. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 21:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, too much work. I'd rather just wait till it surfaces and becomes obvious. Tri-Edge (talk) 21:47, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A thought just occurred to me: it is possible to list amazon.com as a reference? Just wondering, since it lists "Milli" as a single and shows the album cover. Tri-Edge (talk) 21:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Please put the link here, and if it checks out we can change it. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 21:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/A-Milli-Explicit/dp/B0017QV5GY/ref=dm_ap_alb1 Glad I could help. Tri-Edge (talk) 21:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for the link. I made the changes here and on the album, and moved the page. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 22:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi i'm new here and i just bought the itunes version. It does NOT feature Cory Gunz officially. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waddup2k8 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chart Position

Title

The title of this song is "Milli"!!! It was stated on iTunes, and the COVER of the single. It's not "A Milli" if u can read the cover it says "Milli" not A Milli.

Well if you can see on his official myspace page you'll see that the official name IS A Milli and the cover was edited as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.168.59 (talk) 10:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the name is, I'm still beleiving it's Milli, not A Milli. Milli sounds better.
