Jacquees Sent Cease & Desist Letter for Remixing Ella Mai's Song

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

People are hella ignant thinking Ella Mai drew up the papers and sent to Jacquees lol. Its the label that did it. Which is still stupid because remix spins count as originals spins.

They did this shyt to me when I remixed LMFAO’s Party Rock and made the joint “Osama Bin Laden Is dead” shyt hit a million views in a day and they sent them Cease n desists joints hella quick

breh Jaquees gets stupid play among females and dude records get spun heavy at parties I don't think shorty bigger than dude

Why do y’all do this? They’re both pretty much in the same spot. Ella has had a bit more mainstream success with a top 10 (did it hit 1?) hit, but neither is established. Both could be wiped out tomorrow without much fanfare. To think she should let a song SHE’S CURRENTLY working, one she broke and made popular, get sidelined by someone else also looking for ways to breakthrough is stupid AF

Edit:it’s also Ella’s fans, and big von, that finally got boo’d up to break on radio, all these fans you say quees got ain’t getting his shyt to radio. He has a song here and there that he pushes to radio but ain’t no movement behind him yet

Jacquees was just paying homage to Ella and wanted to remix the song because he loved it. I don't think it was a case of him malicously stealing her song trying to capitalize off its momentum.

Even though I like Ella's version, Jacquess just made it a better song because he's more talented and his vocals breathe some life into the song.

Ella doesnt have a distinguishable voice or the ability to take over a song like that. She sounds flat on every song I heard her on but her music is more about the vibes so I get the appeal

nikkas been remixing shyt for decades, but now it’s out of control

I said that. If the man is making money off of it then it’s a problem.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Some yall trippin

It’s her song. Idc if he did it better, he taking away her shine and food off her plate essentially

I liked Tpains remix too but he didn’t put it on spotify or have it playing on radio. You DO make money off it being on radio.

Of course label gonna try to stop it

Should’ve made his own song

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

his version is rubbish

Tell her make some "garage" and go back home.

 

[MollyGalaga]

they (his fans, him, etc) love remixes boy

me, eh i can do without some of these remixes

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Hip hop is all about taking someone's music, remixing it, and making it hotter.

No, it’s not

Thats the problem now. Be original. Sampling shyt from the 60’s is totally different than what this nikka just did (and I’m actually not a fan of sampling).

She JUST put out a song and got it poppin then this guy wants to “remix” the entire somg without her being involved and without labels permission...

It’s called stealing. Pain did it but didn’t promote it and didnt make money off it. It was essentially a cover.

 

[MollyGalaga]

its ella mai song...period...funny how jaquees own material never got this much buzz

cause of nikkas who think like this

Hip hop is all about taking someone's music, remixing it, and making it hotter.

Its a big number of people who think like this too. hell jacquees prob thinks like this his own damn self

i'd hop in a car with nikkas and when they bout to play a fire song i fukk with, they play some bootleg remix version like "this shyt better huh "


mannnn, but its no hate on jacquees man make some good R&B tunes, just dont fw the remixes


and we see this shyt with modern hip hop "IE The Race"

First of all, this is RnB

Secondly, that's not what hip hop's about

Iv returned to say that anyone who is slandering the Moon Goddess Ella, will be shot

 

[Standing on business]

People don't make hits "happen", but THE PEOPLE are choosing his version.

Organic vs machine.
Or this could all be fake, part of conflict marketing.

How can his be organic when it wouldn’t have existed without the original? Same beat, same cadence, same temp, lyrical Patterns.

It's called "versioning"...and she didn't write it.
