i see their point. especially with artists with high volume output who defintiely dont get their s*** cleared ie knxwledge, MIKE, etc

Hip hop is dead

whitest post this week for sure

u not for the culture

It’s the whitest s*** ever to cry about

We should've kept buying indie artists music

Intellectual property is a sham

He doesn't even use obscure samples bro uses smash hits from a decade ago that everyone knows lol

Spotify the king of adding random ass features nobody wants

this is gonna result in s***loads of music getting taken down

Y’all can’t say this and then complain when artists get less than a penny per stream from these streaming services

Either artists should be paid for their work or they shouldn’t be

Btw, I’m not against smaller artists using uncleared samples either, I understand how expensive it can be

wwhy

It’s white to want artists to get paid for their work? Odd opinion to have

CIAsrael

This insatiable greed that will be the end of us all

Where's Lina Khan when u need her

Spotify is anti-hiphop

Bunch of euros who don't give 2 f***s about rap or musicians, the main ones pushing slop and algorithms over art, the main ones trying to phase out artists in favor of podcasters and AI

Them sinking their tentacles into one of the gateways of fans who actually like the culture, sampling, is a bad thing lmaooo

Then don’t make something like New Slaves if you can’t afford to pay the artists you’re borrowing from

Very simple concept

this thread some comedy

I wouldn’t go that far lmao

You should sample whatever you want, but if you choose to release it without clearing it you should be well aware of the risks that come with that and have some sort of alternative release method (YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.) if it gets C&D’d

Hip-hop was literally founded on uncleared samples lmao

It’s f***in over

Sure release that s*** on YouTube or SoundCloud but I don’t agree with trying to profit off of someone else’s art. I will never get down with that idc how “white” or “anti-hiphop” that makes me.

Pay artists for their work ¯_(ツ)_/¯

What’s sample snitching?

Pretty much it's just saying what the sample of a song is.

People fear it'll alert labels that own the sample to get songs taken down.

Part of me understands the frustration that can bring because obviously good songs end up getting deleted or unable to be released. Another part of me also feels the artists who get sampled are deserving of their credit and hopefully get percentage.

Unfortunately, many of the nerds who are on that "anti-sample snitching" s*** hardly even think of the latter though. They really just be on some loser gatekeeping s*** and fear that other producers will do a better job flipping a sample than they did.

I agree, no record label needs to know which songs i sampled on my tracks and take me to court -_-
