[kingdizzy01]

agreed.

 

[KingsOfKings]

He's speaking from an independent artist standpoint.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

I fully agree. I think he's dope he understands it's over-eager fans, but I also like the he doesn't stray from his position.

 

[LevelUp]

Know of some of his music cause of FLEE LORD. He has a point.

I get where he's coming from, having limited resources and wanting the dopest sounds but if you use someone else's work without asking, you should be ready for the consequences

That's fair. I remember Havoc saying that. I think in Scratch Magazine he said once he started getting royalty checks, he started seeing the importance of trying to make sure that sampled artists got their cut.

 

[NormanConnors]

Been saying this, i got cooked on here the last time i mentioned it though

 

[DonRe]

I mean its tough. Hiphop built on this sampling shyt. My favorite aspect of it. Opened my eyes to so many artist and sounds.


but lack of compensation Has killed alot of great songs and concepts Becuase og artist get in the way (as they should)

but those ppl deserve somethin also. They made something dope enough to be flipped. Its only right.

i wonder what he and any other artist/producer would say if they shyt got jacked without comp.

 

[DrHackenbush]

I can see both sides of the argument. Finding out what the sample is for a beat sometimes takes away its aura a bit though

Thoughts @bigrodthe1 @producingfire and others

I don't care either way, when I sample something I don't own it's not like I made the original sample, but I don't go around just saying I sampled x y z either. If you find it you find it, and if you ask me, I don't mind telling the person directly, the problem is when you can't get stuff cleared and lawyers want to say owe' lets get him. I can understand not disclosing in that instance. People should do what they feel like doing. You ask the older generation they will be against it, if you ask the newer generation they can probably care less.

That shyt happened to me a few times last year when producer friends sent me some samples they found. I heard a few things that I made me realize a lot less was done with the sample than what I thought.

 

[spliz]

If it’s an obscure sample. I don’t even wanna know where it comes from. Ruins the aura of the beat for me.

 

[DrHackenbush]

I dont mind if the producers dont do much to the sample, I think the end result is the most important thing

I remember some producer saying "the beat took minutes to make but the sample took years to find" thats some real shyt
