Weeknd still gave him credit on the liner notes for The Trilogy...so business wise...they most likely patched things up....

Or he ain't want a lawsuit now that his shyt is for sale :whoa:

not really all, a lot of producers get paid for tracks on mixtapes. Otherwise they do it for the promo/credit or respect the culture and wanna hear good tracks over their beats.

This, idk where ppl get this notion that producers are getting screwed. Dont let the few nikkas who are and the YMCMBs fool you.

If you're new in the Biz that's not really how it works. You're just trying to make good music with people you have good chemistry with.


None of you are "on" why are you trying to monetize something that isn't making any money. You're just trying to build a musical relationship.


When you start out you just trying to get into the studio with people you can make good music with.

The Weeknd gave him his credit on the album anyway.

Since when?

Just speculating, but I'd guess ever since abel signed his deal (the video for the zone was shot long before that). I think drake wanted to have his own OVO imprint and figured he'd naturally sign to him since he was giving him attention like he WAS his artist. Might not be that serious, though

fukk outta here..

You're just protecting yourself

same goes for any 'product' you create alone or with someone else

scientific research,art,consumer product etc..

People get fukked over everyday for being stupid..not just in the music industry
You saw what happened to Drake when that ho flipped on him and sued his ass for 'Marvin Room'?

When you start out you just trying to get into the studio with people you can make good music with.

I'm just saying that tends to be how it goes. Most artists, groups etc. don't ask for money from the jump.

Furthermore, they started as a group so you wouldn't ask for money from beats from that set-up.
