" analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources". All four of the Billboard citations in Special:Permalink/945324293 link to Billboard chart positions (which are primary) and not Billboard articles (which are secondary). Billboard isn't even consistent with the name of the song for their chart positions, with this Juvenile chart page and this Mannie Fresh chart page both using "Back That Azz Up".
I've added more reliable secondary sources using "Back That Azz Up", including Rolling Stone ( RSP entry), Pitchfork, BuzzFeed News ( RSP entry), and the Los Angeles Times ( RSP entry), to the article. I've also added a Billboard article that uses "Back That Azz Up". Currently, all of the secondary sources in the article use "Back That Azz Up". — Newslinger talk 03:48, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Back That Thang Up → Back That Azz Up – "Back That Azz Up" is in fact the common name of this song, despite claims to the contrary. Wikipedia is not censored, and the original rationale for moving this page to the clean version's title was inappropriate. As one of the greatest (both my opinion and fact) and most-well known songs in hip-hop, this article should bear its proper title. Here are some sources supporting that BTAU is the common name:
To show that I am not cherrypicking sources, here are a few that primarily or solely refer to the song as "Back That Thang Up":
I think it's worth noting that some of these publications may not have wanted to print the word "ass" or "azz", and therefore the usage of "Back That Thang Up" might not be an indicator of that being the most popular name for the song.
