Yup all facts i remember August saying it on Twitter in one of his rants.
Wasn't that the reason they had the original falling out and then he came back?
Goddamn lol
On another note, Knx always experience the same thing most beat makers and producers go through...and that's having their shyt stolen.
Bad enough dude got swagger jacked for years with that sidechain muffled lofi sound
Which I bit as well lol
Heβs not the one that came up with it lol
Heβs not the one that came up with it lol
I'm saying as far as making it mainstream lol. We all know Dilla and Madlib done it first, but dude actually made it popular especially during the soundcloud lofi era
he got cool w/ gunn again but idk about con or benny
Honestly, if I was meek...the last thing I would care about is some underground producer using my old ass rhymes from when I had dusty hangtime for a bandcamp album.
Theyβre up like 20-40 million views on YouTube and theyβre on all the streaming platforms getting plays.
Thereβs a whole generation thatβs more attuned to meek from that then from Dreams and Nightmares

Yes and he got mad Meek wanted them taken down, i guess here the only difference is Mach was rapping over unreleased beats, all of those Meek freestyles were already on the Internet for free consumption.
But tbf I don't think Meek ever asked for a cut of the money once he found out he immediately went to wanting em taken down, meanwhile the whole time Knx was tryna get Meeks attention so they could collab, it's weird cuz he already won a Grammy for To Pimp a Butterfly so meek should have known who he was in some fashion already.
Knx be going through random moments where he beefs with people he worked with (Earl, Mach, Fahim, I think even Paak at one point) for shyt that seems very small or low-key hypocritical.
He'll make remixes using an artists vocals and sell em on his Bandcamp with or without that artist knowing. But usually that artist didn't own the "rights" to those vocals anyway nor were they getting paid for it
But Mach also has beef with Madlib and Alc for a damn near the same reasons, so he has a bad reputation himself
Tldr: these nikkas all be sampling each others work without fully talking about doing business together and it gets messy

This was the argument Knx was using, he put a whole fanbase into Meek who normally wouldn't listen to the high energy beats he usually raps over, so it should be a no brainer to collab instead of just shutting down all of the tapes altogether
He got permission

His lawyer probably looked at him crazy when he said he got permission from the videographer
He using Meeks vocals and making money off it on streaming without compensating Meek.
He got more money and publicity off the Meek tapes then Meek did.

I fully agree and Iβm just not with the hypocrisy.
Knxledge is so talented but he remind me of SGP. Both generational talents with mental health issues that crash out consistently.
Mach the same way. Smart dude that self-sabotage with the nonsense.

Ain't no way you got permission for this and Meek had no idea
He get permission from Flex for this?
he's playing in a grey area himself, imo you can't crash out on people knowing you on both sides of it
