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

[wizworld]

Yeah that was hot during that year. Although I was only like three or four years old.

My mom actually grew up with peter gunz. She event went to coreys baby shower back when he only had one baby moms lol.

I remember meeting him in like 99 or something like that He was trying to get me to play with corey I and was like nah breh leave me alone

So your moms grew up with Peter Gunz huh?
You should learn how to treat her
I guarantee, Peter knows how to..........

So sad. Hindsight is 20/20. Tariq had an album too that never came out cause the feds confiscated it or some shyt. These nikkas is dumb unlucky

I wouldn't necessarily call it unlucky. This nygga Pistol Pete was ordering hits from jail, Tariq was his mans, so of course the Feds were monitoring him.

The West coast dominated from 92-96 though.

Stop riding for New York like New York gives a fukk about you, breh.

MC Milk of Audio Two sorta talked about this on Ed Lovers show...

They never cleared that sample and if you don't clear samples, the original artist is entitled to all royalties. That's the punishment for not clearing it.

basically. you don't want make somebody making money off your hard work

Brooklyn nikkas get crazy loot That's cuz when beef come they ain't scare to Shoot

George Steinbrenner.

Even happens outside of hiphop, The Verve had that giant hit 'bittersweet symphony' which sampled a song by the Stones and Mick Jagger and them took 100% of the publishing, royalties, every damn thing

 

[Real N Quotes]

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.

True...but the game is the game

 

[Grifter]

Right before the 3-Peat.

 

[Mook]

Them nikkas was too broke at the time to get the sample cleared without losing everything.

You telling me my nikka Jerry Rivera was about about to take em to the cleaners?

[jackswstd]

What a robbery. Cacs feasting off nikkas.

It was their own fault. So you'd let people just jack your beats for free?

I don't blame them for not clearing the sample only because they didn't think it was gonna blow up. But on that note you should NEVER NOT clear a sample for a single. If this was just another back burner on the album it probably would be ight. But a single that's just unnacceptable

And the copyright probably extends to shows as well, meaning they get a piece of concert sales or whatever. They tight

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

they didn't make any money because they were one hit wonders. They simply weren't talented enough to make hot music consistently.
