Kelis crazy ass mad at being sampled on Beyoncé album UPDATE: Beyonce removed the sample & Kelis credits from album

[Soymuscle Mike]

Surprised by these replies....Not sure if anyone watched the video or ya'll really just a$$holes like that

It's clear that most people didn't watch it. E.g. you've got a whole bunch of posters repeating and talking about and making fun of Kelis for apparently saying Pharell never wrote a song or lyric in his life.

I watch the video and lo and behold, she's talking about Pharell's manager who has writing credits on her singles.

It's like @THE 101 said, the Coli is very weird when it comes to shyt like this. If this was Kelis sampling Beyonce who in turn got upset and made the same claims you'd see the exact opposite responses from the same posters (whether anti-Kelis or pro-Kelis in this thread).

Yeah I'm talking boss shyt, I ain't talking Kelis

That's mad disrespectful lmfao.

I'm more tripping on the tommy wright III sample that's wild

Idiots really defending Beyoncé and Pharrell like they’re innocent

 

[Rekkapryde]

She's angry and I'd be too if I couldn't get paid for art that I helped create. Sounds like she's upset with Beyonce and her team for not giving her the heads up and checking in, but the main beef is with P.

She just posted on IG again saying that P didn't write some of her songs but still has credit.

That’s foul as shyt

Don’t sound like they defending Bey.. the thread not really about her fr.. moreso everybody clowning Kelis for being batshyt ..
She ain write, produce or contributed shyt.. her voice not even on the sample.. just an interpolation of the baseline that the Neptunes created lol. She literally jus saying anything ..making herself look bitter and foolish.
She did it to herself

How the fukk Pharrell Manager get writing credits on her shyt????

rihanna pulled from her style a lot, not necessarily her sound...i know someone is gonna say it's just hair, but one, this was 08-10 rih pulling from stuff kelis did in 06-09 in an era when all the other women was rocking long weaves, and two, it was style of dress as well. when rih reinvented herself on GGGB, you could see a lot of Kelis Was Here era in her style. everything aint super documented from then since SM was poppin like that, but rih and bey jacking things from Kelis was a conversation for sure

Gaga been pulling from Kelis bag as well. She was lowkey a trendsetter and never really got her flowers for it. Even Pharrell has acknowledged she leveled up his fashion/style from polos to designer brands. I get where the frustration comes from, regardless of how it was expressed in this specific moment.

this karma for how she treated the Gawd

And that interpolation wouldn’t be used without her making that track a hit


You fools really happy about someone getting fukked and y’all cheerleading the corporate machines, Twilight zone on this forum

Kelis is beautiful

 

[eastside313]

Difference is Kelis wasn't signed to the Neptunes her first two albums. She was signed to Virgin. She only signed to Star Trak/Arista after getting dropped.

So we supposed to believe Neptunes jerked her on publishing and songwriting credits the first two albums, but she decided to sign with their label anyway when she could have gone anywhere

Who said she coulda gone anywhere. Was her first two albums smashes and she had a bidding war or something.

 

[Ribbs]

She went through all that I can barely hear the sample on ENERGY

 

[Formerly known as...]

She thinks this was done intentionally to spite her, as though anyone involved with a Beyonce album in 2022 is thinking "know what, let's sample this shyt from 23 years ago just to fukk with Kelis"

Who she expect the heads up from? The Neptunes? You publicly shyt on the dudes who wrote every note and lyric of the original track and expect them to reach out as a courtesy?

Second video she talking about Pharrell never wrote a song or lyric in his life which is just straight up hilarious

No she is talking about the Manager! She meant the manager had writing credits but he had never written a song in his life. Not Pharrell.
