die without u sampled in rap track

...They said they were only in it to make "the paper".

Which goes right along with what the music business corporate conglomerates and the RIAA want...money. Screw the rest, eh?

Right now, for me, all the music on the radio is boring.

All the rap and Hip Hop artists are stuck on the "crunk" beats. Blah...boring and old now.

All the rock and "alternative" rock bands still sound the same as they did 5 years ago.

Pop music is a joke. Timberlake, Stephani, etc...their current "hits" bore me.

I think we're in a low swing as far as music goes right now. I'm waiting for the next big "sound" that will reinvigorate it.

How dare you bad-mouth Justin Timberlake? He's bringing sexy back.

yeah, but he sure don't know how to act.

I've read many interviews with modern rappers and there were a few who said they don't care about the old school and where hip hop came from. They said they were only in it to make "the paper".

Don't y'all worry, they are all doomed!

[Doo-DooHead]

deejay send me the link Be never gave these corny fucks permission. I'm suing the fuck out of them!!!!

[Terrick]

yay!

[Cozmo D]

Not Be's permission to give, but you should probably give V2 a call to see if permission was given. If it was Be should have a check coming.

That's sad that they can just..give his song to somebody without even having to ask, whether he gets a check or not.

That's how the music industry works my friend, but the times, they are a changin'.

Well, I miss the days of that. I wish people could sample stuff more freely and not have to worry about being sued. Of course, these guys didn't do much except just take it and put a drum beat over it..plus they are a disgrace to hip hop..so sue away.

So, instead of V2 having to give permission so Be can get a check, you would rather if the track just got stolen and Be not get shit?

Well, some of my favorite music is made from samples...some cleared and some uncleared ones. For example: De La Soul..and YOU KNOW WHO.

It's the fact that everybody wants a piece of the pie and that the cost to make a song and clear the samples costs way too much and people end up losing money..thus resulting in my favorite genre of music being destroyed.

They are right it's their time to blow.

I thought that Kramer used the "n" word a lot. These people used it every other word.

Blame that on the industry fat cats. Most artists would probably gladly settle for a nominal fee and a share of the royalties, however most of the masters are owned by industry fat cats and international conglomerates.

The bottom line is, regardless of who wants a piece of the pie, the pie is already owned by the person who baked it and the guy who owned the kitchen. Cats need to learn how to bake their own pies from scratch.

You must have hated that album I did for TRK then, but he wanted it that way.

[Cozmo D]

Nah, I'm not against sampling, I'm against cats not being able to do anything else. I've sampled plenty, but I've also BEEN sampled plenty.

And that right there is the crap truth of the matter. You may have written it and poured your blood, sweat & tears into it, but when it comes time for the money...you don't own it.

I'm sure plenty of artists would do exactly what you mentioned if they didn't have "The Industry" hanging over them like a dark cloud sapping all the life (and money) out of music.

But, with record labels outside of influence of "The Industry", we're getting a ray of hope for the future. The internet is helping indie groups/bands in a big way.

Put the music (and the money) back into the creative hands it was snatched from. Get rid of the RIAA and the other "Industry" conglomerates and these new bands wont be tempted to sign their lives away to the devil.

Someone said "Same old tired" such and such. I agree- that's 3 minutes I'll never get back. It's all F this and N that, over and over. Just repeat those words over and over on top of Die Without You and call it musak?

Sample? It's not a sample, it's a *copy* with a drum track laid on top. A sample, by definition, can't be the whole friggin' song! "Back in the day" on my MPC-60ii we had seconds of sample memory, divided between 16 pads and 32 banks.

I don't care if they get sued, but they should at least be slapped and put on cymbalta or wellbutrin... or lexapro or prozak or weed... something...

With "samples" that big, I bet the folks in the grocery stores giving out free samples on Saturdays cringe when these guys come by for a "sample"!
