What kind of royalties does M.O.P. get for Thursday Night Football using Ante Up as the Intro???

[DeuceZ]

Avenueeeeeee

Hopefully they are being taken care of.

Hip hop

 

[Silver Surfer]

Something tells me they paperwork not good

 

[Jigganaut]

Yup, it managed to be number 4 on the UK top 40 pop chart in the Spring 2001 when they decided to release it as a single.

The sample got it on top 40 daytime playlists that year

I was stationed in Germany at that time so yeah it was big.

They aren't Sir-Mix-A-Lot where his royalties generate 6 figures a month because he owns all of his publishing and writes for that song.

A lot of catalogs were bought out over the years, hopefully they kept their paperwork up.

Definitely profitable if done properly...

I knew they weren’t getting that kind of bread

Just hoping that they are eating comfortably off that song for life!

 

[REAL6]

bytch I'm $999,000 short of a mil.

SO glad my dudes are getting some shine. Diehard MOP fan.

But let's talk about how the "Ante Up" Remix might even be better.....


And of course....no MOP "Ante Up" thread would be complete without the obligatory:

But is the remix better than.....

 

[MidwestD]

MOP got pop songs with the Spice Girls and LFO, and crazy ad placements. I'm sure their
gettin that bwread

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Lil Fame live off his white wife. He don't need those pennies.

Did some digging and found this for the remix:

Published By – Blind Man's Bluff Music
Published By – T'Ziah's Music
Published By – Warner/Chappell
Published By – Private Partnerz
Published By – Remynisce Music
Published By – Somerset Songs Publishing Inc.

You can click the names and it shows more music so you can see who the artist is.

T'Ziah is Busta.

Remynisce is Remy.

I'm guessing Private Partnerz is MOP because clicking on the name leads to other music from them.

There's no publishing info for the original but the song is on Warriors which is the first thing you see under Private Partnerz.

That's what I was thinking too. The way it just gets used often...may somehow hint at how powerful the true owner of the song is, and that would not be the artists.

 

[King Ming]

The proof is in the pudding.

Ante Up gets placements everywhere from commercials, movies & TV, video games & to the NFL

Facts! heard it on a KFC ad in the UK years ago

 

[King Ming]

It was even on a Macleans toothpaste commercial at one point...

This dope from SA

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Dr period and loud are the ones probably eating good off it

Depends on if it was a sample and how they handled it.

I remember when M.O.P. filmed the video for Cold As Ice. The lead singer for Foreigner was on set and introduced himself. Lil Fame said that he was like “Yo, I’m not a fan I don’t know your music, I just sampled the record randomly.” But he said they all kicked it after the video shoot and got fukked up and that dude was cool

The story about how Fame found the Foreigner record on the ground outside in the rain & soaked is wild. Said he took the record home and dried it out just to see if it would work. Found Cold As Ice sample. That’s cold!!!!!

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I been listening to the remix more often than the original lately cause Busta and Remy went off
