Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz didn't make a dime off "Deja Vu"

Why you say that?

That's what happens when a song comes out with a sample that isn't cleared. Original artist can sue for 100% of profits and win.

That's why its a gamble using a sample for a non commercial track because if it pops off then you over a barrel trying to get it cleared cause the artist knows its already a hit.

That makes me wonder how the case with Drake and Hugh Heffner turned out over "Best I Ever Had."

Old story. Has been told multiple times, suprised some of yall didnt know this before.

same thing happen to fab with breathe. Atlantic put it out with out clearing it and once it became a hit the band supertramp had them by the balls.

that was strategic tho, Just knew Supertramp was gonna want everything. but it got cleared, he can perform it, and it was the single to a plat album

Peter and Tariq cant perform Uptown, that was one of the stipulations of the lawsuit. they basically killed their careers by not clearing that sample

Just touched on it on Combat Jack, he got a large fee, but no publishing on that. it was a record everyone knew was a hit, so they were willing to do it. Jay wanted the beat badly

1998 was far from the pinnacle of NY

X and Jay-Z was super hot that year. If 98 wasn't the pinnacle what year was?
