What a robbery. Cacs feasting off nikkas.
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz didn't make a dime off "Deja Vu"

They didn't even get songwriting credit for writing that shyt. Not 1 fukking penny made off that song. 100% of the profits go to Steely Dan 
new york rappers werent always the brightest ones when it came to business

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.

i speak facts not emotions
they aren't bright at alot of things but this is the main one that obviously not bright at.
the song organically became a hit
Same thing with the breathe song by fab...
sometimes shyt catches fire..
the trade off is the song blew up their careers
The feds coming down on lord Tariq and peter gunz had a lot to do with their downfall as well

Them nikkas was too broke at the time to get the sample cleared without losing everything.
if the song is hot, you gotta bite that bullet..
Peter and Tariq didn't properly go about maximizing their worth out of their opportunity...

Arguably the song of the year. They even made a Bay Area version. This was when NY was at it's pinnacle.

They were basically fukked from the start. If they refused to give away their publishing for the song they wouldn't get the deal. I'd like to think I wouldn't have signed my shyt away and held out and banked on another single but odds are I would've done the same thing they did.if the song is hot, you gotta bite that bullet..

Doesn't matter who you are, if the song is on the streets in any form the price jumps drastically. That's what killed a lot of albums that leaked back in the day. Ghostfaces original bulletproof wallets, mobb deeps original murder music, nas original I am, etc.
Samples are supposed to be cleared pro actively not reactively. Once you reacting its a wrap,original artist is coming for 200%
The sample game is so fukked.
Anyway, this joint had me saying "Uptown Baby, we gets down baby" from overseas. shyt was that powerful
