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

[Dynamite James]

The orginal sounded better to me
The remake was even more mediocre

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

 

[O.T.I.S.]

@Stacker Pentecost is right and the only difference now is that the cover is more popular than the OG song

I haven’t heard it and my point wasn’t whether it was popular or not, point is its up to the label to bush it and they did. No shock, make your own hits if you mad

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Paragraph after paragraph have you examined YOUR dissertations caping for this hoe? My point is very clear. It is normal to create unofficial remixes and videos for songs in rap and r&b culture period. His version was hotter than hers period. Her and her label are salty period. You have on a period.

Was that enough punctuation for your dumb ass?

You quoted me with the college essays first nikka, I cared less about your opinion as much as I cared about this nikkas song.

You caping for Jaqueese nikka like you fukkin but got the nerve to say I’m caping?

My point is extremely clear... fukk your cover. Hold your own nuts and make your own hit songs. Period. Don’t get mad if the label sends a letter to your door telling you to pay up.

 

[Dynamite James]

his version is rubbish

Exactly!

 

[Pit Bull]

She stole her whole style anywayshe another MC Gusto

 

[RammerJammer]

Seems like alot of people got something against this girl and our wating to turn on her quick as hell. Some of yall mad cause she british

Seems like she had nothing to do with this.

Right, like they finding any reason shyt on this girl when she didn’t have shyt to with the cease and desist. Weirdo shyt.

Your point is extremely stupid and that cape is tight for this hypocritical broad who made a career off covers & now is mad about somebody covering her.

EDIT: And you quoted me first. See below

nikka you the one juelzing hitting me with paragraph after paragraph of run on sentences and no indentations

You brought up Wayne for some reason when what he did was nothing like this situation. In fact, Wayne pretty much helped Dej Losf blow up more with remixing her shyt (and actually remixing it... not using her bars or lyrics)

No Chickens???? A Parody song my nikka? FOH, with that lame analogy. No chickens was a parody from nikkas who couldn’t sing or rap that got buzz but wasn’t no where near as popular or taken as serious as No Scrubs

And again, its up to the labels discretion. Thats like Rhianna making a song and Chris Brown unofficially “remixing it”, seriously copying the song, taking her structure, beat,lyfics, etc., but singing it differently and its playing on the radio and interfering with requests of the original song.

What do you think would happen?

And how did he make it a hot song when it was already a #1 song nikka??

People playing dumb as fukk acting like it’s cool to jack a song verbatim that a current artist is pushin, interfering with their ability to promote their single. No one in their right mind across any type of art would stand by idly while a peer does this to them.

No, this is not equivalent to rappers who take hot beats and add NEW lyrics

This is not the same as remaking a (old) song that’s not on a current promotional push

This ain’t even the same as doing some little remix of an established artist’s song (ie Ella Mai doing covers of Chris brown songs)

Let new artists build their own shyt before jumping your ass all in their video. Everybody saying how hot Jaquees made it, how about y’all go to bat for the music he has and request dudes actual songs, not his cover of a song that was already hot/gaining momentum.


And lol @ y’all faux militants trying to have an issue with her because she’s from the UK. I can only imagine if this dumbass logic was used back in the day when Sade was starting out. And I sure didn’t hear this when Craig David blew up nor when Mark Morrison’s “return of the Mack” dominated urban radio in 96

 

[Tribal Outkast]

People get mad at folks that steal their memes or gifs but this is cool? Anyway it’s the label not Ella Mai. The smart thing would be to mesh the song together and make an official remix like stated earlier in this thread.

She got discovered doing covers, her career has been made from original material. Stop being dense

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

if its copyrighted Youtube should immediatley take it down or demonitize it. i had a song i rapped over a random underground beat and they hit me with that shyt..said i could keep the vid up but couldnt monetize it..which i wasnt expecting to do in the first place.

 

[audemarzz]

her label made the wrong move . . got her outchea looking stupid . .people won't see the label because the label is faceless they'll go to the next best thing the artist themselves . .and she isn't coming out and saying anything so the silence gives the impression she was cool with it . .move smarter . . beyonce would have took the hype and kept it moving and used that to build her base . . hell I didn't know about his version till this and I was searching hard to find it lol

People typically do not like big corporations flexing and making power moves like this . .so they lash out

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

They weren’t on the radio or being promoted.

So did Swae Lee...


So did Tory Lanes (who’s a biting ass nikka himself)

Basically, hold your own nuts and get poppin by your own music. This is what Ella chick and her label did. No one knew about this chick before the song.

Point is, no one should be mad or surprised by this. This is hers and the labels property.

And this has been done before. For example, Maxwell redid “This Womans Work” to absolute perfection. Thing is, he got permission.. he also didn’t recreate the song as soon as it came out he recreated it later down the road and was in an entire different genre.

Regardless of he’s making money or not, hold your own nuts the label can put a stop to your shyt if they want. Tpain had a different song that sounded similar with different lyrics but was a clear “parody” if you want to call it that. Ceelo did the same thing with Redbone but BOTH songs didn’t go anywhere except youtube.

@O.T.I.S. And you quoted me first with that college essay ^^^

To my one sentence post ‘she blew up doing Chris brown covers’

She literally blew up doing Chris Brown covers lol

Ella Mai suing Jacquees for remixing her song

 

[L&HH]

People get mad at folks that steal their memes or gifs but this is cool? Anyway it’s the label not Ella Mai. The smart thing would be to mesh the song together and make an official remix like stated earlier in this thread.

Why ya'll keep saying this is the smart thing for her to down? The song is doing fine with out him. 4 weeks ago the song was 54 on the Hot 100 then jumped 22 spots to 32, then jumped 9 spots to 23, and now this week has gone up 2 spots to 21. She's got an album coming out in 2 weeks so most likely she's going to release a video and maybe a late night performance somewhere that will boost it some more.

They could have done an official remix in Decemeber or some shyt when the song slows up but not in the middle of it apexing.
