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

[DOPEdweebz]

If the threadsrarter simply changed the name from Wale to Kendrick Lamar half the hate wouldnt exist in here.

Hate is even a worse form of faggotry than dickriding.

 

[AP21]

tbh, this song is a remix or maybe a part 2 to his song 90210 off his first album.

too bad Janet dont appreciate good music

but can anyone shed some light on how Kanye was able to use Syleena Johnson in lieu of Lauryn Hill when she didnt wanna clear the sample for All falls down?

@TheEyeronic1?

Some people clear samples under very specific circumstances (no cussing on the record, you can't use the vocals, etc). Case in point, Lauryn Hill didn't clear the Mystery of Iniquity sample with her vocals on the hook of All Falls Down, but she allowed the guitar sample.

There was probably a condition that she didn't want her voice on it.

preciate dat info fam

Says the woman who had Khia Ms. eat my pussy and my crack of all people on one of her albums. Think it was the album that had "Call On Me" Featuring Nelly on it.

After the way Plies and Neyo ruined a Janet Classic "Come Back To Me" with that weak "Bust it baby", I don't blame her. Camp Lo still did the best Janet sample. Also Janet Jackson is known for being against drug use so I think the title of the song "Girls on Drugs" hurt his chances, that's all she needed to see to say no. You've never heard in your entire life of Janet being caught up in a "Drug" use story.

U brought one back then cuzzo!

This song is one of the smoothest hip hop tracks ever! Shyt jus makes u wanna ride out and mac on a bish. lol..... Loved Uptown Saturday Night as well, its a personal classic of mine.

 

[Ishi]

Wale should lay low for the sake of all us Nigerian americans out here.

No trannies

 

[dwade206]

Them Jackson's are some weird creatures

Anyways...Wale is wild corny...that hoe ass nigga be smelling himself waaaaay too hard..

Sampling records is not true creativity...just get another chick to re sing the vocal sample and switch the lyrics up a lil..you smart dumb nigga

I think alot of early dj's and hip hop producers would very much disagree with the bold...you know how many classic rap songs got samples in them?

Weirdos trying to support their I hate wale agenda

Ol break out the candles and emotions everytime you play Wale ass nigga.

 

[blacktux]

The sample is almost haunting considering the subject matter.

Its a good track.

 

[antoseeg]

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...

Only problem is that's not a Whitney Houston song. It's a Dolly Parton song, Whitney just covered it for The Bodyguard soundtrack.

It seems people forget that main fact whenever that song is brought up lol. Alot of people in the past generation have never no idea the Dolly Parton version even exists....but clearly you can see in this thread Wale hate makes people distort history or completely miss what his song was actually about as you can see by her also saying it's about promoting drug use when it's the exact opposite lol

Even though it's a Dolly Parton song & she would ultimately have a say in whether or not someone samples the song, Whitney Houston's version is technically a different version of the song. On a publishing level, Whitneys estate (or whoever owns the publishing of her music) would have to clear

her vocals for the sample, if that's what was to be used.

That's the diff between mechanical royalties (what Dolly Parton would receive) and performance royalties (which whitney's estate would get) for sampling Whitneys version.

@tha_bride22's original point is still legit.

This is false. Whitney Houston signed over all royalties to that song so that she could use it. Dolly Parton gets paid for every part of it, including Whitney's vocals. This is actually a standard arrangement for Whitney. In exchange for her 100 million advance from Arista, she gave up all rights to her music. Sony Music, the owner of Arista, owns her entire catalog, including her song royalties, which only consisted of her vocals since she didn't write or produce her hits. Sony signed a side contract with Whitney, where they give her a little piece of the music she sells, but she doesn't get traditional royalties like other artist. She has a paid contractor deal like the old artist that got robbed at Motown used to have.

Whitney made this same kind of arrangement with Warner when she starred in the Bodyguard, so she doesn't make any money from the movie when somebody buys it. Throughout her career, Whitney chose to take the money upfront instead of waiting for the big rewards that come from ownership, so she gets almost nothing from her music and doesn't own it.

Her song, she can do whatever she wants. She could say no to a sample giving no reason at all and I wouldn't be mad. I love sample based hip-hop, but you're not entitled to someone else's music just because you want it.

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

You wouldn't take 'I'll always love you " by Whitney Houston and make it a song about da coco, would you?
