I aint never been to a Mac Miller concert but Im pretty sure he is/was performing this at his concerts as well. The song has 23 million views on youtube. On top of that youtube pays out about 1000 per 1million views on their site so at the very least LF may gripe about getting a cut of that, if indeed mac is getting paid from that

I dont think Mac Milli paid the compulsory fee for a cover song.

Thats what happened to Frank Ocean.

Since when were mixtapes NOT used to promote an artist? What else would they be for?

they would be what they claim to be: a mixed cassette tape. dj's would make them and give them out or sell them. but it was about the dj's skills and choice of music. over time that changed to a focus on 'exclusive' tracks. to the point we're at now where it's just a collection of exclusive tracks by one artist, and there's little to no dj involved

This is something DJ Drama has been arguing about as well. He was saying nikkas dont be using DJs on it anymore and might as well call it albums. Of course drama has his own bias in saying this but he has a point.

Pete ain't happy about it, but that situation's different since Lupe (well not him, but whoever made the beat) remade the beat. the Mac Miller song uses the actual Lord Finesse instrumental

Im confused, so are you saying because Mac Miller didnt pay the fee he should be able to perform it?

thats how it works out for other genres. Prince been suing people for years for performing his work without paying him.

hip hop usually ignores that because a lot of the genre is based on it, but there is a caase.

I dont support Lord Finesse here tho

Could you imagine Lord Finesse in his studio apartment the first time he heard Mac Millers song on his 56k modem?

Bare with cuz im Im tryna understand whats going on here. So if you pay the fee, then your allowed to perform the song. Frank Ocean didnt pay the fee therefore The Eagles are trying to shut him down (that particular song). Mac miller didnt pay the fee, but he should still be allowed to perform the song? (I know most hiphop artists dont care if others perform their songs Im just tryna understand if this what your saying)
