You’d think by now black artists would have an unwritten rule not sample from white artists. It’s the bare minimum of group economics.

Plenty of black artist will take all the money from a sample. Business is business

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

Yeah he own the royalties to JuiceWorld biggest song. Can you imagine his bank account after the post death streams kicked in

Well let’s just say that not everybody was sad to see JuiceWrld leave this earth.

With a net worth more than double that of sting I doubt Diddy ever cared.

He probably looks back on it as an opportunity cost. The songs helped catuplute his career.

the sampling laws are racist...... cacs got rich making covers of black music but when hip hop came all of a sudden you can't repurpose a song or sample a 3-5 second loop without giving up all your royalties. I think Russell Simmons said he was gonna take the issue to the supreme court back in the day but probably didn't want the smoke




the label is supposed to clear the samples which makes it funny that it's always the artists who get sued for it

It's Intellectual Property, you need to clear it plain and simple, race has nothing to do with it...

But don't get me wrong, blacks in the music industry are constantly taken advantage of, but not in samples, but shytty record deals....

The label and the artist get sued. The artist get sued because copyright is split into two different rights, the right to perform and the right to reproduce. The artist get sued for performance. And whoever owns the royalties (usually the majority is owned by label) gets sued for the rest. I believe diddy owned the rights to these records. Regardless, the label usually covers this and accounts it against the artist so they may lose all royalties at the end of the day.

And I don't think copyright rules are racist at all. They originate far before rap really became as popular. There is a compulsory fee that an artist pays to use a sample but if you dont, you can be held liable for copyright infringement and that's where the original artist can take you to the bank.

when you sample a song the artist you're sampling can take whatever amount of royalties that they want....it's a negotiation......it's no standard fee i think thats for covering songs which is why I said it's racist. The biz markie case changed everything.

they shouldn't be allowed to take 100% of the royalties.....it's not about clearing, even if you clear a song the artists can still request whatever amount of royalties that they want. Cacs weren't clearing shyt when they were covering black artists songs back in the day before hip hop came along

I’m just saying stop putting more money into the white artists’ pockets

Yea that's right but that also depends how much ownership the actual artist has. IF the label owns a vast majority of if the artist is deceased, they will usually set a standard price.

Sting is the Debo of this music shyt

Black artists were some of the first musicians to get robbed by record labels/rap artists , so I also don't understand how people can look at sampling laws as inherentl racist.
