You don’t have to. There’s thousands of remixed songs on YouTube where rappers are rapping over copyright instrumentals and they don’t get removed

Because it’s his beat

i actually might be wrong here, i was looking for a source to send and i might have got it mixed up

copyrights you're not really required to enforce unilaterally, however trademarks do have more rules about enforcement which essentially require them to enforce it

So it was taken down for copyright.

youtube auto ID algorithm caught the beat, and its on DSPs as story of OJ.

obviously lol

“Copyright”. Songs get remixed all the time and they aren’t removed. They are usually just demonetized. Not outright removed.

That’s why people think there was foul play with that song

To be fair, there are differences than some rando with 50 subscribers remixing a song and a well known rapper competing in the largest rap beef using the song

just because a couple small youtubers get away with copyright infringement doesnt make up for the fact that its well known even demonetized videos will get taken down if you have copyrighted content

Yeah that’s cap. Labels don’t have to take down a song that illegally uses licensed work, they just choose when to depending on the circumstances

i corrected myself already brother

And the song is still on SoundCloud

It’s not just randos though. It’s actual famous rappers that either get sent the original beat or they get a recreated version and rap over it

Most recent example I can think of

So it clearly wasn’t Jay then.

Why would Jay even want that taken down? For what reason?

Jay Z has been some shadow mastermind trying to take down Drake all these years yet he had TSOA removed?

It literally makes no sense, him and Push have never had issues and Pusha literally interpolated him on Daytona

If it was Drake, UMG would have included that in the response to the petition and Pusha would never shut up about it

Story of Adidon getting taken down was 100% Drake’s doing man

its gotta be a conspiracy, it cant just be the simplest answer

It’s either a genuine mistake by UMG or Drake pressured them to remove the song because it already had more views than Duppy in like an hour

What reason would Jay Z have back in 2018 to remove that song?

a song that was getting a lot of attention and negatively affecting one of their artists was taken down for copyright infringement

but you're right drake text lucian personally and said "i'm mad at pusha!!!"

I feel like Nicki stans are the main ones making Hov out to be this illuminati level behind the scenes powerhouse controlling everything lol

I never really said it was directly Jay Z that did it

Drake fans started doing it once Kendrick was announced as the Super Bowl headliner
