his joint publishing venture with Sony didn't happen until '95, a year after Illmatic dropped. Sony wanted some of that Beatles/MJ music royalty bread which led to that linkup.

and of course his momma sold all of his half to Sony later after he died. :snoop:

THESE TYPE OF DEALS DON'T
HAPPEN OVER NIGHT.

MJ WAS DEFINITELY WORKING
ON THAT MERGER
BEFORE THIS ALBUM CAME OUT

:devil:
:evil:

Nope MJ actually was working on that crazy publishing deal a few weeks before the first accusation happened. Alotta people don’t know this. Def one of the biggest motivators of that first accusation. Low key Sony is HIGHLY responsible for the destruction of MJ’s image.

TYRONE GA!
It also helped that they were label mates.i think he only had to clear the publishing for that
Going straight to MJ instead of having to deal with the label wanting their cut helped too.

Wonder how much the royalty split, if any, Nas and Large Pro get

yeah. Sony/Colombia/Epic. Songwriters were Porcaro and Bettis. I don't know how true that meme is, but you obviously can't believe everything posted online.
