Supertramp Wanted $100K To Clear Sample
The other thing about that is that I sampled Supertramp, which is classic '70s Rock, and a lot of people in that era, they didn't take to Hip Hop too well, so most of them didn't clear the samples, and they definitely didn't wanna clear "Breathe." So when we submitted it, they came back and said, "We want 100 grand, and we want all the publishing," so we came back like "Ok, fine." And they really threw that number at us just because they expected us to say no. 'Cause who's gonna pay 100 grand for a sample? The average sample does not cost anywhere near that much. A sample, you're usually looking at maybe five to 10 grand as an advance, and a certain amount of the publishing. Usually anywhere from 30 to 50 percent depending on the publisher. These guys came back like, "Hey, we want 100 grand," laughing, figuring we were gonna say no. By that point, we knew the record had something special to it, so we were like, "Alright, yeah. Here's your 100 grand."
from a HipHopDX interview but i remember reading a very similar explanation in an old scratch magazine
shyt i remember having all these up to probably Jeezy & The Runners cover. it was a great mag until they started being XXL jr and didn't focus on producing so much.
How ima impress a nikka who thinks Native Tongues is better then wutang. Flower child fakkit. 
Every beat i ever made better then breath. Breath is just, a cliche underground/commercial track. Hot trash.
You clapped the fukk back. I respect that. 
Shots fired!
