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.
Make your own beat then

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!
Puffy did the same thing to Sting with “I’ll be missing you.”
He didn’t get the sample cleared and he lost in court. Had to hand over 25% of publishing or some shyt.
Sting makes $2k a day/$730,000 p/a from royalties... I think it lasts until the year 2050 iirc.
Sting was on some congratulations type shyt too.
#1 hit and you ain't clear the sample?
Legit think this is trueI don’t think he sampled it, I think he just played the beat and rapped over it.
what happen?Rappers still haven't learned from Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz
Yup!! They can ALWAYS take 100%It’s usually a 100%
Or they can take a 100 %
the guy that that made the beat said its not a sample rip, he laid the riff on the keys, it just happens to be that the vst guitar he used on the beat sounds very very close to the sting version, thats why sting likes it
but yeah anyway nothing wrong with sting taking 85 of the cut, most of the time its 100%or you going to court
When people talk about sampling nowadays people forget that the laws for it have pretty much been in place since that Biz Markie lawsuit in the early 90s. That era with NWA, De LA Soul, and Public Enemy blending a million samples was dead by 94, and guys started getting more creative with obscure stuff.As a producer, you're shytting on another producer/songwriter (Sting) and assuming that a Sting song will "fade into obscurity". From one producer to another, please do your homework and get familiar with legendary artists and the groups that they originated from (The Police, fyi). Furthermore, stop sampling HITS and start digging for actual obscure records to sample from if you wanna go that route. Do the knowledge on sampling, research Biz Markie , Vanilla Ice, etc and why most of De La Soul's catalog is not online.
In order for Diddy to get cleared to use the "Every Breath You Take" sample, he had to let Sting and Clive Davis run a train on him
Sting is a bytch
