There is a Steely Dan interview on YouTube where they basically ether them, saying: "these guys lifted ou r song and said Uptown Baby, Uptown baby. And had a hit record. Thank you Tariq and peter Guns" shyt was funny as hell.
he'll make the money back from the popularity the song gave himIt's his work i mighta done the same if it was me
Dont sample or really learn how to abstract them
Naw, some samples demand a higher percentageThere needs to be a balance between protecting artists (in this case I’m referring to Sting) and not stifling the creativity of other artists (Juice Planet).
For decades now a large part of music has been sampling. Sometimes it’s very creative ( :havdahell: )in this instance it’s not.
In 96 the idea of Nas rapping over a Sting sample was pretty out there, but this song is not creative.
Still, they need to change the laws. Artists should be able to take what they want and the sampled artist should get a set percentage. For something like this, Sting should get half. For something where there are multiple samples at work, all the samples artists should split 50%.
As long as you’re ok with artistic creativity being stifledNaw, some samples demand a higher percentage
Which is why it wouldve been easy to clear that shyt. Lol. Cause Sting wouldnt have had a gauge on how popular the song wouldve gotten. This is how nikkas get fukked over. Once u dont clear a sample. The person u sampled can ask for ANYTHING they want. And if the song is successful. They high ball the fukk outta u.Let’s be real, he never thought it would blow up like it did
So he was
There’s also a good chance he didn’t realize it had a sample in it
And Cam's Oh Boy.They saw no money from Uptown Baby because the song hit radio before they cleared the sample with Steely Dan.
Same thing happened with Fabolous' Breathe
