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.
I think its fukked up that Sting went out and was talking shyt on it like "The royalties on that shyt gonna put my kids through Uni" or some shady shyt like that he said. Like..... these mfers on some other shyt.
Sting is ruthless. 400 million and he still wants more

You can't even pay homage no more...
You can no longer sample or draw inspiration from they're shyt.
Stop lining these mf's pockets.
I had to throw about 150 beats in the bushes.
Leave that old ass music alone. Let that shyt fade into obscurity.
I say that as a producer!
My dude got to take the L man cause this song put him in the game, it’s up to him to catch another one he just better not sample again. Rappers out here straight up setting these old white guys up for generations just be sampling a couple seconds of their shyt and people get mad at the original artist for wanting a cut? Nah man you see what’s going on in 2018, don’t sample anymore or cut the check if you do.
#1 hit and you ain't clear the sample?
