Ha! People can be so stupid. Suing Canadian rappers is the worst get rich scheme any old artist could come up with. Only thing you’ll get is cussed out on an internet tv feature. Shit is weetahded.
Reminds me of the story I heard about Satchell Paige
Uganda! Live yo life.
Who is his manager? Cause that looked like Dirtyman right when they panned over
That kind of destroys the myth that underground projects and artists were immune to this type of bullshit cause they don’t generate enough money and publicity.
I guess your only safe if you sell a couple hundred copies to all your homies and their homies at shows or on the street.
I think it’s just random cause look at MF Doom, even Necro rips off mad shit too and those guys are pretty well known.
MF Doom did get in shit for using that Dr Doom image on Operation Doomsday he had to pull it
I think it boils down to if your signed to a major or not, if you are you will have to pay for those samples if not who cares.
^There are exceptions to that…like the Satchill Paige (Nestor Wynrush) fiasco. People need to lighten the fuck up and stop trying to make pennies off of everything. That being said i wonder if Jason Schwartzman is going to sue D-Sisive over the “Westcoast” sample.
very funny. it’s not like what he is doing is at all disparaging. he’s paying homage. reeetttaaaarrrrddddeeeeddddd…..
