Janet Jackson Won’t Clear Sample On Wale’s ‘Girls On Drugs’

[soul rattler]

Ms. Jackson thinks ‘Girls on Drugs’ lyrical content is too nasty

I'm not the only one who caught this, right?

 

[R.D.]

I mean Cole spoke on this in his credits

I don't really understand being a dick about samples....

Oh yeah and Wale is a better musician than Janet Jackson

its easy to understand.

for some people, it aint about money. its about ownership. if i dont want you to use my shit, you aint using it.

why should i let you use my shit just because you made something new outta it?

You put the shit into the fucking world

There's really no reason not to unless the artist is trash

 

[blackrain]

lol...niggaz really hate Wale like that?!

Wale ain't talking about shit but it's a creative beat concept.... That should stay a concept.

Janet's music is not meant to promote girls doing drugs. She has the right to decide that as an artist. You wouldn't take 'I'll always love you " by Whitney Houston and make it a song about da coco, would you?

At least poetic justice stayed in context...

I know ya'll hate Wale but the bold is just wrong. That's not what the song is about. It doesn't promote girls using drugs it's about girls using drugs as escapism.

to add to this, hes also calling women "bitches".

Uhh...this the same Janet Jackson that cleared the sample on and appeared on a remix to Plies "Bust It Baby" song...lets not act like using the word "bitch" is what made her say no to clearing this sample.

 

[buttuh_b]

I wouldn't that clown sample my shit either if I was her. Janet the goat!

 

[TonyDubbz]

Wale hate serious on this site. Even as somebody who listen to his shit though I have no problem admitting he bitch too much and thats what hold him back. Girls on Drugs was one of the few tracks I was fuckin w/ on that mixtape too.

I know trolling has levels but KYMFS .. .

 

[Stew]

Artist should NEVER bitch about somebody not letting you use THEIR shit. Be creative nigga and come up with your own shit. And I fuck with Wale's music.

 

[lamontbdc]

yea shit is a dope song i'd be beefing if i couldn't get the sample cleared...we all know the nigga emotional so why is this a surprise....being truthful is a lot better than fake beefing and tough talking...it's not liek he on soem fuck Janet that bitch spiteful type posts

but at the same time it is what it i. it's her sample so gotta go on to something else

That was a sample of the music, not her voice.

Either way it's a sample...and the Plies song since she has a guest verse her voice is on it too...so she got a problem with Wale using "Bitches" but got no issue hopping on a song with Plies calling girls "Bust It Baby"...makes sense....

Artists bitch about samples not getting cleared all the time, especially producers who have to switch shit up. Hell nobody shitted on Krit for complaining about how he was unhappy with Live From The Underground because he couldn't get all the sample clearances he wanted. We just gave a collective "That's fucked up"...niggas just doing this in this thread because they hate Wale

 

[blu197]

Lol @ Kendrick and Piles gettin the green light from Janet to use the sample but not wale

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

When the hell did that mixtape come out? Fuck I been? that song is hot

 

[d.green]

Yea Janet just being anal for no reason at all...chick showed a titty at the superbowl now she wanna be all PC

She a billionaire now, why she even care...

Not a fan of Wale or much of today's rap music but i haven't been feeling her since she stunted on Pac after Poetic Justice wrapped.

 

[Ranxx]

Ms Jackson don't want this nigga using her song I cant wrong her. Wale need to let it go.

 

[TonyDubbz]

Ima rewrite this shit for Wale and send it to em in a DM, tell him to cut me a check and that I wont tell nobody that I rewrote it for em

Then in about 6-7 months yall gonna read about me calling this nigga out about stealing my song on twitter

Wale’s track ‘Girls on Drugs‘ was a standout on his Festivus mixtape. But the DC emcee is having problems in his attempt to also release it on his upcoming Album About Nothing.

The cut is pretty thoroughly based on a sample of the Janet Jackson classic ‘Go Deep.’ And the word is Ms. Jackson thinks ‘Girls on Drugs’ lyrical content is too nasty, and won’t clear the sample.

It’s just a rumor, but Wale strongly hinted that what’s going on in a Twitter exchange yesterday.

Do you think Jackson has a point about protecting her brand and not allowing Wale to sell the track as is? And would it be possible to remove all the “drugs” from ‘Girls on Drugs?’

Fuck the Wale drama. Janet's video makes me miss party videos. That shit just looked like fun. Tired of all these club videos where everybody too busy trying to look cool and end up looking miserable for 5 minutes.

Krit was doing the same thing before his 1st album dropped but it was all love in that thread
