Wasn't Dre exploiting some weird loophole to sample George Washington for free or am I making this up?

George Washington? Do you mean George Clinton, or do you really mean Washington?

 

[The Return of]

haha, I'm 98% sure he means George Clinton since he is the one who gets sampled a lot in gangster rap, but I laughed

 

[Tokubetsu]

Being facetious aside, Timbaland I think got sued over a Bollywood movie soundtrack sample for Put You On The Game on The Game's The Documentary album. Can't quite remember how but I think he got away with it. It's fucked up bcause I think it could get to a stage where only the bigger artists will be able to use whatever samples they feel like whereas it's going to be much more of a struggle for even middle tier and down producers to clear stuff to make hot songs. I just never anticipated people actually sueing over samples on free mixtapes. Makes me a sad panda for real.

Way of the world man. You can get away with murder in this country as long as the right folks get a cut.

 

[Detox]

George Washington? Do you mean George Clinton, or do you really mean Washington?

It's really late at night and president's last names fuck me over but yeah Clinton. I'm almost certain Dre didn't pay him royalties and he got away with it some of the older heads might be able to shed some light on it. I remember reading how Cube made sure Clinton was paid his dues.

I wonder how expensive it would be to drop Paul's Boutique in this day and age

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Timbaland was in court over Big Pimping.
He requested permission to sample this track here but was denied.
He then replayed and recorded the sample.
As he never actually sampled the original work he was found not guilty.
Him and Dre on occasion have just replayed stuff straight up without requesting sample clearance since then.

GAF, 2Pac is my favourite rapper of all time and yesterday was the anniversary of his death. I know there's a thread already for this, but I want y'all to post your favourite Pac tracks to commemorate dude's life and legacy.

Letter 2 My Unborn
Starin' Through My Rearview
My Block (this version)

The emotion and charisma brought to the mic by Pac is something I can never seem to find a match for in rap.

Damn Timbo got sued a bunch of times. I like Death Around The Corner myself.

Holy shit, that's like the whole beat right there, lol.

Haha, the beat for Big Pimpin' is pretty complex though, for such an obvious sample there's still a lot going on.

One of the best things about being a Timbo fan was tracking down his samples.
I've learned about so many dope, and obscure as fuck, artists who I still never would've heard of to this day if not for Tim sampling them.

This little video barely scratches the surface on his range of sampling but is still pretty cool.

I could make a crazy sample mix if I knew how

 

[The M.O.B]

French fans make another N***s in Paris video. Dope. I love both of the fan videos that have come out, this one slightly better except for the annoying sound effects. Both better than the official video too. French people love their NiP.

This is amazing, Illuminati all up in this.

That is an awesome video....

Gotta say I've slept on Alley boy, listened to a few tracks here and there on 2dope but this dudes cover for his upcoming mixtape made me listen to his last 2 singles from it:

Such an awesome cover.

New single Blame it on the Molly

I really really love The One but didn't care for iSLAND at all.

I feel the exact same way.

So that Kreayshawn joint is hot garbage... but, the track "Left 3ye" is worth a listen for ignorance sake.

Cudi couldn't save the track he was on and Diplo continues to make an ass of himself.

Gunna go spin RAP Music again to cleanse the soul.

The weird thing is it isn't like Diplo doesn't know how to make decent shit. It's like her purposely gave Kreay half-finished bullshit.

"Oh Kreayshawn wants beats? hahah let me go through my Projects folder and send her some shit from 2008 that I never finished or were terrible"

 

[IrishNinja]

radio here keeps playing my clique but leaving off ye's verse, which is the best one

Traveling yo. Got mad stuff to post soon.

bet! lookin forward to this post

RZA, Chef, Meth and Ghost getting sued over "New Wu" - Clear your samples Motha Fuckas!!

Yeah game is all fucked right now. That's why I'm trying to perfect my non sample sound. No matter how obscure you dig, somebody is gonna find it. If you sell more than 10k units or generate any kinda buzz you're gonna get a suit. Not even worth it to try clearing as they'll probably ask for some ridiculous sum anyway.

...I just never anticipated people actually sueing over samples on free mixtapes. Makes me a sad panda for real.

damn, sad state of affairs.
reminds me though, finally found it on youtube: DJ Riz - Live from Brooklyn (1/2) , fun with some classic hip-hop (some r&b too) samples, first time i heard it i learned so many track samples i didn't know about before.
