Weird way to make your point lol.. It's worded as if the kinder thing to do would be to just keep they shyt or sell it :heh:
and sell it to who? No one is streaming, using, or trying to license music of Mase, Loon, G Dep(in prison), Shyne, or Da Band in 2023 or beyond. Their publishing checks quarterly are probably about $2k if that.

MJ gave little Richard his publishing and masters back after MJ took control of his Sony catalog.. however MJ kept the Beatles :mjgrin:
that's not true. When MJ bought the Beatles catalog than contained Little Richard songs, he gave Little richard a raise. he didn't give him his songs back. I don't know when that rumor started, but it spread through the internet community for over 20 years. I'm not blaming or trying to shyt on you because at one point I believed it too until I did my research years ago reading several bios and articles on the subject. He simply gave Little Richard a raise. Rakim is my favorite MC of all time. One of my goals in life is to own the Let the Rhythm Hit Em album. When I get the funds, one day I will purchase that album from Universal Music Enterprises(the album was on MCA in 1990). When I do that, I'm not giving it to Rakim. I'm going to simply give him and Eric B a raise just as Mike did for Little richard and own the album giving it a proper release, with a proper mix and mastering. I don't think it's going to be hard at all because LTRHE is their least popular album of the 4 that no one ever talks about. And it was the 3rd album ever to get 5 mics in the source and also the first time Rakim used the word "fukk" on a song.

Diddy wouldn’t give anything away that means anything to him financially also after all these years he’s been able to flip the profits from 1996 publishing into real estate brokerage accounts and other businesses…

I mean good he’s doing it I guess but he ate off it for almost 30 years he full now

Mike did not give Little richard his masters back. He never said that. I think Mike may have offered it to him when he was selling a stake back to Sony while in financial trouble, but he never gave him his masters back. You can easily look up who owns it today. Also, Masters and publishing is a difference. When you clear a song for sampling or to use it in a film, you've got to clear it with the publishing owner and those who own the masters. If you are making the song over and not using the master recording, then you only have to clear it with the publishing owner. It's enough information out here to prove that it didn't happen. It' s a feel-good story, but simply not true. I can refer you to references. shyt, I wish the story was true too.. Just like when Snoop bought the Death Row brand. Many thought he owned all of the original music and I also broke it down he owned none of 2pac's music or the Chronic and everyone thought I was lying until the news eventually came out what snoop bought with the Death Row branding. If you google it online, 90% of the reports(including videos explaining it) will state that Jackson gave Richard back his masters and they do it convincingly, but that 10%, also in bios, actually prove what happened in deals. It's just hard to find. One thing I've noticed that if you tell a lie over and over, it will eventually become the truth in the eye of the public.

A side note, for years I thought Master P owned all of his music and now with all of these interviews with Slim Thug, JT the Bigga figga, and others coming out explaining what happened in his deal with priority, it all makes sense. We were all duped.

If anyone Mase would be the one eating good off his publishing. They still play "Feel so good" and "What you want" religiously all over especially getting sampled as well. 112 would also eat well off it. Black Rob could've used that alley oop a few years back, might've saved his life :mjcry:

he in hell right now punching the air :bustback:
