What are you talking about? Meek didn't collab with knx on none of this stuff. I'm not cosigning either side I'm just saying I understand why both parties could feel some type of way about it, I don't think either side is in a position to kick the other's back in


We know the only reason they give a damn is because knxwledge is known, they not running down on anyone else, Slim K been making money just making chopped n screwed blends for ages and no one cared to sue him.

But knxwledge do be responding to these nikkas with a lot of energy behind his words so I can see someone being offended that the 5'6 producer with no muscles is talking to them like that :manny: it is what it is


All of those Meek tapes were for sale on Bandcamp at one point

I can't remember if it was mandatory payment or the version where it's a donation and you can send 0 dollars if you want to,
Im saying mach and knxledge legit collabed. So i get why he would be mad.

Meek and him had no connection.

Are we gonna go after cookin soul for using doing the same? . Reflipping shyt is a staple of the culture. Even if he sold it. Pete rock been doing this since 90s.

But taking beats with someone you work with professionally then selling them and not paying is not the same thing. At all.

I personally don't care but it's objectively hypocritical to say it's fair game to take someone's lyrics without getting their blessing and selling it but not your beats. How is it okay because he doesn't know meek, doesn't that make it worse?

What Mach did is foul too, just to be clear, I think they both took advantage of what they felt like they could get away with.

:manny: but I get it, the music industry is inherently exploitative and everyone just getting it out the mud however they deem fit

They can both be wrong but they’re both not the same thing

If you paint and leave your art outside that you already sold then I remix it and sell it, that’s fukked up in its own way but we never agreed to do business.

If we paint together to make some bread, then you steal more of my paintings and sell em, that’s a different fukked up - a more personal fukked up if you will


But everyone can argue it their own way. It’s like sampling, or when Finesse sued Mac…clear it with me first and/or cut that check OR don’t touch my shyt.

But it’s music, the only time you shouldn’t touch something is if you’re biting.

Yup all facts i remember August saying it on Twitter in one of his rants.
Yeah they literally Just got back cool awhile ago which is why August landed the placements on RichAxxHaitian. But i believe the majority of The G.A.T. album August Produced for Mach. Still one of my favorites album by him btw.

I love Mach but he has undeniable scammer energy. A lot of these "art wave" rap nikkas are just shrewd low to mid level dope dealers applying their tactics from that game to this one.
they only get a quick runway until the public moves on

Word to Jay Electronica and… IMO…LaRussell needs a hit soon or he’s gonna be outta here :sas2:

he got cool w/ gunn again but idk about con or benny



Mach and Benny will never be cool.

His lawyer probably looked at him crazy when he said he got permission from the videographer

:dead:

He using Meeks vocals and making money off it on streaming without compensating Meek.

He got more money and publicity off the Meek tapes then Meek did.

No, Knxwledge can be right. The copyright for the freestyles Meek did for those hood DVD's could be owned by the videographer especially if Meek signed anything saying so. If there was no paperwork signed it's still assumed the videographer has ownership rights. Unless Meek hired them to record him he doesn't own the footage. Meek could claim rights to the performance if it's used without his permission but that's a grey area for a judge to decide.

It's not worth the effort and money to fight it when it can go either easy.
