Ahhhh i can’t read

Yeah man she gotta get that s*** in writing damn…

Spoken conversation ain’t enough to secure that

For sure, contracts are so important and I definitely believe she deserves residuals

Christmas miracle

Same, So many times the album cover adds special significance to an album (i think i said that weird but u know what i mean), people that are the face of it deserve to be compensated more when that s*** succeeds

Entertainment industry as a whole as we’ve even seen this year with the long writers strike is wild with slimy business

Was Tyler Perry right when he said Atlanta was made for white people

It wasn’t not made for white people

• also i wonder if the difference between the entertainment white and black people (and everyone really) enjoy is overestimated… some of that s*** gotta be speculation, of course maybe there’s exceptions

the label would be responsible. they’d likely own the image and facilitated the shoot

because of that, coupled with the fact that AML was his last release on that label, i can easily understand why his lawyers didn’t concern themselves with it. and i can definitely imagine donald never even heard about this

i hope this story getting traction leads to her getting some sort of retroactive payment

C***From The Six back at it again

Your avi running around with a black neonazi for clout rn let’s relax

Crazy how this went over people's heads completely People were already talking s*** about his feelings towards black women, you can see it ITT. The question was poking fun at those people, but yall still just using it against him like the question came out of nowhere

I tried to warn this man

next time a story breaks out where an artist scams a model gambino gonna tweet out "i love being influential"

What was the joke on the Drake episode? If you're referring to Van's friend getting pissed about a black male celeb being with a white woman - that also didn't come out of nowhere. It's something he'd been facing criticism for, hella black male celebs do whenever they step outside their race. Even Kendrick Lamar, who is married to a lightskin woman, had to deal with it

1. There's sampling and then there's just copying a sound. Albums like AML and Let's Start Here are rightfully criticized for being too derivative

2. That's not a hip-hop album

I'm a fan of his stuff, but this is facts.

this is f***ed up and they need to give her what she was promised but this is not something that childish gambino himself would be handling lol.

like this is label s***. niggas acting like he supposed to be personally writing her a check. that’s not his job.

Sampling is quite literally copying and pasting sounds, and then building off of that as a foundation. A lot of music in general is like that in a macro sense.

I didn’t mean to imply it was a hip-hop album but he’s a hip-hop artist who adopted a different sound in an equivalent way to how sampling builds new sounds in hip-hop

As to your first point, I think calling stuff “too derivative” as if that’s inherently negative is such a lame art critic thing to say, cause really everything is different levels of derivative and it’s silly to draw a line in a sand and say certain albums cross it.

Some albums are bad and too derivative, but I wouldn’t say it’s because of the latter, they’re just bad. Gambino and drake and a lot of artists were quite derivative of Kanye, and Kanye of dre, dilla, outkast and tribe, and so on and so forth

Also you gotta look at AML through the lens of his discography, it was clearly him just experimenting and evolving as an artist, because you can hear on 3.15.20 that’s a blend of aml and bti, and it felt more like bino for that reason

you are one of the worst posters on this site and my point flew over your head til that s*** was in space

Boo hoo lol broke chick crying over "residuals" over a photo from an album cover from 2016. Get a job man your 15min been over

I think the fries burning bro go take care of that

aight man lol

It’s definitely overstated and used as a way to discredit someone
