At this point, Hip-Hop is rich enough to go back to instruments. Pay musicians to create original music for you in the studio.

Is Puff paying him or the label?

Puff is the label

 

[Vilify]

Those numbers sound like ducktales

 

[UpAndComing]

Black people should get back to composing music again

The only ones in Hip Hop who did that off the top of my head was Dj Quik and Havoc

[get these nets]

it's racist because none of those black artists back in the day who got robbed every got their money.....the only started caring about sampling once hip hop came along. If cacs made hip hop they'd treat sampling like covering songs....a standard fee. Thats how sampling should be

nah, some of the Black artists from that era were savvy enough and had enough leverage to retain rights and ownership of masters .Some later sued and won back their rights. The late Michael Jackson also purchased and gave back some of the rights to the pioneers.

At any rate....that would have nothing to do with sampling because the older Black artists who DID retain rights,publishing,masters were the first ones taking a stand from the theft

Again, Black artists were among the first ones to get jerked when hip hop got on wax.The early songs sampled the records that used to play in parties, and used some of the same breaks that kids used to dance to. James Brown and the JBs records are LITERALLY the foundation of the artform.
Here is James Mtume talking about the early days of sampling, his demand on people who sample his music, and his views on it.



These Black artists were protecting themselves from RECORD companies who used, sold, and profited from THEIR creativity.

The downfall of sampling especially when you sample somebody’s biggest hit lol. Oh well, you got to get that shyt handled.

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

This ain’t the first time puffy “ forgot “ to ask for permission. Ready to die had to be reissued in 2005 without the samples he didn’t pay for..I mean forgot to ask for.

machine gun funk doesn’t even sound right on the chorus lol.

This isn't nearly as simple as you are making it out to be.
