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

[You Win Perfect]

this what happens when you got no creativity and gotta snipe other people's shyt. who greenlit that record without clearing

 

[You Win Perfect]

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

he actually addressed this on the Drink Champs podcast. Diddy said sting took everything and he got no percentage. But it was worth it just because it was a tribute to Big and fit perfectly

 

[L. Deezy]

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.

its THEIR shyt tho..lol

I prefer samples, but it is what it is.

 

[You Win Perfect]

If he sold the artist the beat it’s their responsibility.

The rapper now owns it

so the producer finessed juice wrld

 

[spliz]

so wait, he didnt clear the sample before he allowed it to get mainstream spins?!


man these guys really are stupid smh dumb ass probably was like "call nas people up so we can clear the sample yo"

nikka prolly didnt even know the Nas joint either. Lol

 

[spliz]

so the producer finessed juice wrld

No. If Juice Wrld cleared the sample. He wouldn't be getting fleeced for 85%.

 

[Pure Water]

The producer know what he gotta do

 

[FaTaL]

No. If Juice Wrld cleared the sample. He wouldn't be getting fleeced for 85%.

There’s no guarantee he would of been able to clear it. Sting has all the leverage

what happen?

Peter Gunz and Lord Tariq sampled a Steely Dan song and bascially made no money off the biggest (only) hit of their career.
They had to give up all that publishing.
Peter Gunz was on Love and HipHop and somebody asked him what about his legacy and he responded with something like:
"I had one hit song...I drive a 1999 Mistubishi Montero..... what legacy?"

He wouldve cleared it. Hes cleared it before. Plenty of times.

 

[You Win Perfect]

No. If Juice Wrld cleared the sample. He wouldn't be getting fleeced for 85%.

ah so he tried to finesse Sting

(Havoc chopping up the Al Green sample for Eye for an Eye after their A&R was like when he heard the original version)

Let me redownload this because I kind of skipped this joint when it dropped

 

[FaTaL]

He wouldve cleared it. Hes cleared it before. Plenty of times.

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

 

[Zero]

what happen?

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

He said steely Dan didn't even acknowledge them or shake their hand at some event

Oh, and I drove a 2002 Montero and I ain't even have to be in the industry
