..... well that's pretty bad. They're pieces of shtein, yeah, but I'm still into it. Whatever. Same deal w/ POS athletes who are on our favorite teams I guess

[General_Failure]

You stole it, too, so you might as well enjoy it.

[Dillen]

I'll be damned if I pay for the music of thieves

hip hop doesnt steal....they 100% acknowledge that the music's foundation comes from sampling music that came before them....this is no secret...and in turn they had to pay to do it...in most cases they had to pay in unreasonable amounts....

and if they didn't pay they got their asses sued off

funny how when white people like led zeppelin stole music they werent held to this same high standard...instead they are looked at as musical gods

hip hop doesnt steal...

you post some unbelievable nonsense here but jesus farging christ on a cracker, igy...

seriously, you outdid yourself here and that's saying something.

[ice grillin you]

speaking of crackers....

look at the liner notes of 99% of hip-hop albums from back in the day and you will see something like this....

(name of rap song) contains a sample from "For the Love of You" as recorded by the Isley Brothers used by permission and under license by the Sony Music Corporation

how the farg is that by any definition stealing?

jesus farg i hate old white people

[Rome]

LOL

Rapper's Delight... straight stole "Good Times" by Chic.  Pretty much out and out thievery from the get-go, so much so, in fact, that the writers of the song sample (Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards) threatened legal action if they didn't get paid and credited with co-writing the song.  That set the precedent.

And there's nothing wrong with that either.

[ice grillin you]

yeah a few groups have been sued....thats the whole farging point

but even the few that have been never tried to pretend that they weren't using other peoples music....nothing was ever hidden....its always been an ode to the people who came before them

that's what hip-hop is.....sampling other peoples music....this is not a secret

zeppelin tried to pretend their music was their own and never paid a dime to anyone

i wonder why?

it wasn't until young black people started doing it that white people got in an uproar....first they tried to kill the genre....then when they couldn't do that they took it over and bastichized it

welcome to the history of black music
