Juice WRLD Lost Millions After Sting took 85% of Lucid Dreams

[RoidJonesJr]

Sting is ruthless. 400 million and he still wants more

And Prince reserved the right to shut cats down. This is the same man who was writing songs for his whole crew and hiding backstage and playing guitar for The Time because they weren’t ready to be on stage in the first place. If you got 30 years in the game you should have your masters and not even need sample clearance money in the first place even tho it’s an easy check. But on the flip side, a trash artist samples your song, it gets popular bug the content is booty. Then what?

In every case the outcome won’t be as wavy as Between The Sheets/Big Poppa where both songs are classics. You get guilty pleasures like Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby where the new track is a pop hit but embarrassing as fukk in hindsight.

Either way, these producers and artists have a find a better way to pay homage outside of lazy samples. All of that 70s/80s music is just light years ahead of their abilities to begin with and as a result you get a track that hits because of a familiar melody and not because it’s dope.

Word. That Diddy style of just straight up jacking old hits is so unimaginative. In the sampling golden age in the late 80s-mid 90s cats were digging through obscure jazz and soul records, finding small pieces, and re-imagining them. And if they couldn't afford to clear it, just re-interpolate it (ie Me & my bytch, One More Chance, and the title track off Ready to Die) or chop it up until it's unrecognizable (Havoc chopping up the Al Green sample for Eye for an Eye after their A&R was like when he heard the original version)
Nowadays, in the rare times where a mainstream rap hit does use a sample, it's the laziest way possible

fukk it if you’re gonna have to pay that fee then at least take the time to chop it up.

I make beats in my free time and I don't even bother with a sample if I can't figure out a way to fukk with it in some form. Where's the fun in straight loops?!

 

[T-K-G]

This is the type of behavior that caused song sampling to slow down in the mid-2000s onwards. Too much greediness from the original sampled artists and record labels regarding clearances.

How are the original artists greedy?

If i made it they gotta pay me, period.

When cacs steal shyt from us the first thing yall say is "the brehs who made it should be getting paid"

That energy should be universal, pay the person you bitin or dont bite at all.

Why sample in 2018?

Exactly. No need to

 

[I’ve Made Millions]

You can pay homage all you want, but cut the check. It coulda been worse. Sting coulda flat out denied him the right to sample it. Prince showed y’all how overprotective people can be about their work

Nah I'm cool! They could keep it.



Not all content creators are stingy tho.

Brehs won't even give their folk $20 and they want us to believe they'll give a hypothetical sample of theirs up without taking a cut

"of the strenfff"

"for da culcha" :loldenzel2:

Then they should sample from royalty free songs if they don't wanna pay

Groundbreaking!

I heard this shyt and thought it was post Malone

 

[AnotherRoute]

I am really not against artist charging high amounts for samples. They put in the work to create the oringal song ruth is depending on thier deal labels get a good chunk of it.

I know people are going to look at my sideways but 85 percent from an artist as big as and as well known as sting. That shyt is kind of generous.

 

[chiefdogg]

Ask De La Soul about tis
shyt.

 

[EBK String]

that song is trash I dont know how he blew off that

 

[GPBear]

Sting literally made his career pretending (poorly) to be a reggae singer. Turns around and sues. Like Led Zeppelin suing people for sampling their rip-offs of blues.


Music industry is a fukking cesspit

 

[WakandanPride]

Why not make your own beats?
