Mr. Hotspot wouldn't clear the sample on Super Soak for religious reasons and Drake & Yachty leaked it anyway

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Your telling me brah cant sue after Yachty said in the example that artist can perform it and still get paid that way. I feel like someone would have explored this before tho
This happens all the time. All those free mixtapes we listened to were full of uncleared samples, and rappers would perform those songs at shows

People around the world get paid to do cover songs at shows without permission.

Shyt can’t be monetized through major distribution tho. That’s when you open yourself up to lawsuits
That time is over and is the reason all those mixtapes stores and DJ's gotr raided by the feds, and then we don't get mixtapes no more unless it's cleared shyt

Because Mac Miller and many other cases have proven that you still make money off it either through free publicity or money on shows/performances. So yes.. This man can sue the fukk out of both of them and collect millions if he so chooses. He just gotta wait for them to start performing it and let it go crazy, then swoop in with the C&D

fukk Drake and Yachty for leaking the shyt but hopefully they do the reference he sent so he can get a bag.
Y'all just don't like Drake. lol. Yachty said he was the one that leaked it.
Records fail to get cleared all the time and people just leak them. Rooting for people to sue over this has already killed the mixtape era.
