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?
she said from bey/bey's camp...cmon now. and we've seen plenty artist show texts, or back in the day, phone calls, getting the go ahead for samples. and yes, pharrell is not above being a petty bytch, he knows how kelis has felt slighted at the hands of bey and absolutely would be one to sign off on having one of her biggest songs get hivewashed by beyonce.

and please don't play into the writing thing, one, we know how easy it is to get a writing credit (telling someone to use the word love instead of above gets a writing credit) and also how easy it is to finesse a writing credit as a producer and label head (diddy taught us that), kelis is credited as a writer all over ALL of her albums, both with and after the neptunes. i don't even get into writing arguments as they're one that can't be proven

I have no problem with them getting the Lions share. But to get ZERO percentage of publishing? That's kinda foul. Even Stevie Wonder gave Coolio like 5% for Gangsta's Paradise :pachaha:


But what did she actually do though?
If she was just a voice and others did all the work coming up with the song, then she doesn't really deserve it. :yeshrug:

So you can't identify when ppl sound white?
she doesn't sound white...she sounds like her. i wouldn't hear her voice and think a white woman was on the other line

and a white voice isn't corny...like i don't know what else to say here, people can act and dress corny, but the sound of a voice just is
