Something about this beat... makes think of blue hour during the summer while its slightly drizzling out, with light trickling off the wet pavement. It also makes me think of a loading dock/port at night, with a slight blanket of fog creating an aura around the industrial lights.. Music is lovely
Ive listened to this track soooo many times. It is soooo dope! Beat + Lyrics/Flow...that intro. Get whatever rides, a bike, bicycle, skateboard and play this song, and fly for a moment.
@@WMB6022 I’m happy to. I’ll try to not write too much. I used to work in the business, and clearing samples was part of what I did. 95% of the hip hop you hear today with samples is using them without permission/clearance. Occasional projects like Bandana will clear samples, but it’s incredibly rare. What goes on today is producers just take a risk that the owner of the samples material will find out. And if they do find out, the hope is that it won’t be worth a lawsuit, since streaming pays so little. Suing for a small slice of one song isn’t usually worth the legal fees. When a sampled artist finds out, they can send a cease and desist letter and get the song removed from the project. That happened to Westside, Apollo Brown, Che Noir, and Skyzoo last year. And a lot of old artists and copyright holders check RU-vid comments and websites like whosampled in order to see if they’ve been sampled. The short answer to your question is that any post revealing a sample makes it more likely that the song will get pulled from streaming platforms, as well as future physical pressings of the album, and possibly lawsuits for the rapper and/or producer. It usually doesn’t get anyone in trouble, but it does happen, and it definitely makes us less likely to hear sampled music we like. Because of websites like WhoSampled, producers have no-go lists of people they know will sue if they sample. It’s great to know where the music we like comes from. And there’s a valid argument that sampling without permission is stealing. But that’s the state of the game in 2021 because there basically aren’t even sample clearance budgets anymore.
you are how you see your art, and you are something completely different when you stand in front of original art (the big leagues) than when you are sitting in front of the TV.
