A federal appeals court has ruled that all musical samples must now be paid for, ending the free reign that many artists, especially rappers, had in using past hits to serve as foundations to new tracks.

Artists will now have to pay for ALL samples, even tiny snippets.

"Get a license or do not sample," the court said Tuesday. "We do not see this as stifling creativity in any significant way."

The case was based on the 1990 NWA song 100 Miles and Runnin' which featured a sample from the 1975 song Get Off Your Ass and Jam.

Hahaha.

[asphyXy]

It's about time.

[Gertner]

that's so stupid. everybody is gonna be sueing everybody. Metal artists might as well start suring each other, since every song sounds the exact same.

[asphyXy]

You are so right, Gertner.

What is your favorite genre, by the way?

[Downunder]

ha ha now they have to learn to play their own instruments :lol:

[Funky Fly]

Gertner and DU, stop being cocks. Gertner probably likes likes shit they play at raves, since he is/was an ecstasy freak.

Downunder, have you ever heard of The Roots? They are rappers who play instruments. There are also many other rappers and producers who can play actual instruments (Kanye West, Andre 3000 of Outcast, etc).

It's mostly only the mainstream bullshit "artists" on the radio who can't. Next time I find you on Soulseek, I'm gonna show you the light. :mad:

[DaveWadding]

Talib Kweli = The Light

[Gertner]

I like Trance

[el fregadero]

lol

[Gertner]

and progressive, but mostly hard trance. and i'm not an ecstasy freak anymore. just an occasional user.

[el fregadero]

That Vietnamese Crippler guy listens to trance, so I don't know how good it is.

[Gertner]

It's one of those things that you either love it, or hate it. I listen to to constantly.

[Outsider]

Haha, fuck rap

I haven't seen Kayne West pick up an instrument yet.

And nobody is saying they can't play instruments. Poofy Daddy can be an excellent Viomalin or Tumababa player for all I know. He isn't making records with those sounds so who cares.

[MVP]

Oh man, and I was looking forward to the next Eminem/Dido collaboration.

[Penner]

eg. Beatnuts - Watch Out Now

I feel like everyone has sampled that song.

He plays some of the instruments in his production. Read the credits for the 908567890765309786 albums he has done production on. He's not in the video for like 99% of the songs he's produced.

[Gertner]

And Anthrax can suck my dick. Throw a bands name out that people have cared about in the past 15 years Asphyxy.

[The Outlaw]

Yeah word. He did a lot more producing before he got big if I'm not mistaken.

[Kris P Lettus]

Fuck rap cuz they have no talent a all they do is boom chicky boom pow....

[The Outlaw]

Fuck rap cuz they have no talent a all they do is boom chicky boom pow....
Don't forget da doom.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah word. He did a lot more producing before he got big if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, he's been hot for years as far as production.

Oh, and for those who don't know, 90% of all rappers get their samples cleared.

[Rob]

90% eh? Where did that number come from?

[Funky Fly]

90% eh? Where did that number come from?
It came out of my ass.

In this day and age of lawsuits, it's pretty uncommon to hear lawsuits over sampling or not crediting other people, etc. It still happens, but most people in the music biz are trying to make some cash, and prefer to do so without having to split it because they ripped someone else off.
