Songs that suffered because of sample clearance issues

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......GO TO THE 1:16 MARK....the chick in the yellow dress....izzat....MOLLY QUERIM ROSE?!?

If NOT, she got a doppelganger out there, breh....it looks like a younger her with fatter face cheeks.



Wow, really? Cause I saw a documentary on The Making of Aja by Steely Dan, and when they reviewed how they made Black Cow, Donald Fagen was showing them love.

So you're basically sayin that he showed love BECAUSE they kicked in heavy

Probably, but it could also be that the musicians don’t actually own the rights to that song and whoever owns it is actually pressing for the money. That used to happen to a lot of P-Funk samples, George Clinton got fukked out of a lot of his publishing early on and there were Eddy’s who didn’t give a fukk about the music either charging out the ass or being dikkheads about the samples because they owned it.

I went to Apple and reviewed the remastered Ready to die.. I’m still

I’m glad I still have the original pressing.. Them songs don’t sound the same at all with them samples missing and all that

Wolves by wutang on 8 diagram. Prolly one of the best wu songs of that era. Heard this version week before release



Then the album dropped and it was this. Like it still but original funkier.

 

[spliz]

Even though this is still classic


I love the original more

I like the album version more. Sounds more gritty to me. Also. I like the album version of Me And My bytch more as well. Fortunately I still have the original untouched version of Ready To Die. One of the many wack things about streaming.

 

[spliz]

Ready to Die had 3 songs that changed on the final version because of sample clearances. They just interpolated the original samples:





I definitely prefer the original Me & My bytch, while Ready to Die and One More Chance are a wash.

Ironically they couldn't clear an El Debarge sample for the OG One More Chance but cleared a much more well known El Dabarge sample for the remix . Probably had to do with album budget.

Yeah I'm lucky that my older brother had the OG CD because Machine Gun Funk and Ready To Die's hooks just don't sound right without those samples. Especially Machine Gun Funk. The least they could've done was replace them instead of leaving them so barren

Prefer the album version of Me and My bytch. Prefer the originals of the other 2. And yea. Streaming version of Ready To Die is trash.

Dipset, I love You

Original


I was so used to the mixtape version the album cut just felt sub par to me due to the lack of the sampled vocals

Both fire. But yea. The mixtape version was better.

 

[spliz]

And then Q-Tip fukked with it even further with this remix, which IMO would be the definitive version if it weren't clean lyrics lol:

Yea. This prolly better than all of em.

 

[MurderToCassette]

Change gonna come will never be cleared so just dead that lol

Took me YEARS to find an OG copy of Ironman that had this on it

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

The OG version of TI's "Help" with the Barry White sample would have made that album so much better.

 

[phonthought3000]

A lot of people prefer the OG version


But I think this one is just as good

I really wish they could've release the original album the way they recorded it with the samples instead of the replaying of samples. In this case the originals were better

Album version



Same situation happened with 9th and Jean Grae's album they had to replay certain elements due to sample clearances

 

[El negrito de tejas]

I went to Apple and reviewed the remastered Ready to die.. I’m still

I’m glad I still have the original pressing.. Them songs don’t sound the same at all with them samples missing and all that

I feel the same about doggystyle gotta have extra backups cause I'll never be able to hearhear album the way it was intended to be heard ever again.

It's really sad to think about it.

 

[MasterOfAllHeSurveyz]

Biz Markie - I need a haircut.
That album was cold.

I had the CD before the pulled it from the shelves. Got drunk one night and lost my backpack full of CDs.

The OG version of TI's "Help" with the Barry White sample would have made that album so much better.

The song on the album is dope. This one is too but I'm not sure which one I like better.
