If Sting Charges An Arm And A Leg For Publishing (Puffy & Juice World) Then How Did These Two Get Over?…

[Ziggiy]

As others have said Puff didn’t ask permission and Sting sued and got 100%. This happened to the Fugees too, they sampled a Swedish artist for Fugee La La and Clef thought that since it was a sample from an unknown Swedish band that they’d get away with it but then the song went number 1 in Sweden lmao. They had to pay up

Those songs aint make money

Not worth it

Diddy and Juice made money. Simple

The Message was certified 3x plat,



I haven't peeped the RIAA site but I want to say the Camron track at least went gold. Feel like I heard that mentioned at some point but I could be wrong.

Show me the message 3x plat

My mistake, I misread the cert. IWW is 3x plat, The Message is gold.

 

[Yehuda]

He just doesn't know who Nas and Cam'ron are.

The Message isn't gold. It was never released as a single. Street Dreams went gold.

You don’t get what I’m saying. It was stupid to try and pull a fast one and take a major song from one of the biggest artists of the previous decade like nobody would notice since you didn’t want to pay

He knew... He didn't care.. He wanted to put it out NOW after BIG died... Not in a few months when the labels got around to doing the paperwork

 

[Bigblackted4]

If I’m not mistaken he has a controlling stake in The Police’s recordings too

Was he in a good mood that day?

Fake thug no love you get the slug- one of the greatest opening lines ever

They had to have got the sample cleared
