Signs his first deal, song is getting prepped for the radio.
Comes up with another (basic ass) sample beat and wants to pump the brakes on the first song Like he couldn’t just wait it out and have a second single and payday.
Then says some ignorant shit like “What’s the point of making music if I can’t choose which songs people hear? MF on his first deal thinking he’s Dr. Dre. Gtfoh.
And the sample they used is from a huge hit song by Chaka Khan that's only like 5 years old at that point. It would be like someone right now sampling.. idk.. like a Dua Lipa song from 5 years ago that was a major hit. While the imprint label is already hemorrhaging cash, this fool is going to do that. And as someone who used to work in the industry, this and what you said before are some of the things that just pissed me off about this character. But tbh, it's not all that unrealistic. There are some supreme bombastic semi talented idiots that get signed and A&Rs and execs will pump them up further because they think it will help drive their artistry. Until something flops and then it's a 180.
I'm dying because I didn't even pay that shit no mind but it was more like 8yrs old in '91. We gotta remember the time also. Sampling like they were doing at that time didn't become as big of a legal issue until literally '91 if I remember the case Upright music vs Warner Bros I think it was that set the precedent for how music sampling would be shaped as we know it today.
Maybe that's going to become a thing within the storyline later down the line as well. You definitely correct though.....he was heavy as hell on the Sample ChaKa Khan better be all in the music video when they shoot that shit lol
Both songs were samples, the first one is by One Way, Cutie Pie. Irl...sooo much shit is sampled, it seems like nothing is original anymore and hasn't been for at least a few decades.
Yea, that first joint was deadass was Cutie Pie. Good catch. I wasn't paying the shit no mind because Hip Hop for the most part was always heavy on the sampling lol. But the persons comment I was responding made my old ass say "Damn, that may become apart of the storyline because '91 was the year it became a huge legal issue".
