Juice WRLD Lost Millions After Sting took 85% of Lucid Dreams

[Deoji]

The Bears are playing leave me alone

Sting has said Illmatic one of his favorite albums. I'm pretty sure he cleared the Message sample without trouble.

Lol. Sting liked lucid dream also .but its business. Not personal ..

These kids are stupid as shyt I can tell these guys don't even do research in the genre they are a part of. Sting didn't waste time dude was ready to sue with the quickness. Let this be a lesson to these youngins, keywords Research and Clearing.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

why didn't you clear the sample Randy Acker

 

[MrRDU]

For the record, the song is wack as fukk.

I agree. For ppl who like this song, what do you like about it ? The lyrics? The beat? What?

 

[desjardins]

Damn I must be
Literally never heard of this song before

 

[BuddahMAC]

I went through 15 pages just to see if anyone did a "hungry-ass hooligans stay on that piranha shyt" reference/joke toward either side...unless I missed one, shame on yall...

Juice WRLD On "Lucid Dreams" Controversy: "Lost Millions, Made Millions"



"I'll make another one" - Juice

Breh made millions in like a year. He's not stressing at all over this

 

[The_Sheff]

This is the type of behavior that caused song sampling to slow down in the mid-2000s onwards. Too much greediness from the original sampled artists and record labels regarding clearances.

How can you be greedy with your own shyt? .

He put in the hard work in making the track, if you want to use it then pay him. Its not like this is even a song that hasnt been cleared a dozen times in the past.

It looks like UK rapper K Koke managed to dodge Stings bullets or maybe he got the sample cleared.

 

[Amor fati]

i never liked the song. my first reaction was the sample is lazy. like how can u say f sting when ur song just sounds like the original w/ some bass n hi hats thrown on it?

That's what these mediocre beat makers do nowadays, they don't even bother at least to follow the music notes with different instruments.

From last month

Sting Calls Juice WRLD's 'Lucid Dreams' a 'Beautiful Interpretation' of His Song 'Shape of My Heart'

No lie, Sting flexed hard in that quote.

He might be one of the funnier rock stars. Homie doesn't care about much at all. He got asked about leaving money for his kids when he passes away, and he said that shyt ain't happening because he's busy spending it all.

Rappers still haven't learned from Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz

Or Pharoahe Monch.

Word. That Diddy style of just straight up jacking old hits is so unimaginative. In the sampling golden age in the late 80s-mid 90s cats were digging through obscure jazz and soul records, finding small pieces, and re-imagining them. And if they couldn't afford to clear it, just re-interpolate it (ie Me & my bytch, One More Chance, and the title track off Ready to Die) or chop it up until it's unrecognizable (Havoc chopping up the Al Green sample for Eye for an Eye after their A&R was like when he heard the original version)
Nowadays, in the rare times where a mainstream rap hit does use a sample, it's the laziest way possible

Yep producers back in the 90's did a brilliant job at interpolating compositions and making the sound completely unique.
