Any reason why they didn’t use the actual song? This shyt trash
I figured it’s either that from my understanding an interpolation costs less to license then an original recording. That or (I’m not into British hip hop) whoever the artist may have already remade it and that’s the version that got licensed.

People just need a new version that they can relate to, like this one:

They'll get paid.

When you see credits and lyrics are quoted there's that "Contains a Sample of" indicated.

If they don't get paid for the commercial directly, the artist who got paid has to pay them.

Is M.O.P being paid from these NBA2k and Hard Rock Bet commercials?
