a bet you'd lose. im sure you'd say stones throw is weak as well, cuz they dont clear samples.
Not that it should matter to anybody, unless of course you are the artist involved.
A bet I've already won as I've caught BBE with their hand in the cookie jar already this year (Funky Fever on Kings Of Diggin - we're still waiting for that check).
And hey, we represent tons of artists they've already ripped off, so we "win" there as well. Ripping off artists is always weak, especially those on the junior circuit who are 90% of the time within reach if you put in a little effort. But hey, I only do this every day, so what do I know?
gettin the popcorn......
this seems backwards...
Can you grab me a large popcorn drink combo? I'm in row G.
Thanks!

that seems a contradiction as he considers it weaksauce that the musicians & composers don't get paid.

sayin'. I saw you guys doing something in L.A. and was hoping someone would get you guys up here. Hopefully soon.
Before i go any further...ripping artists off is not a good look. I believe almost every dj/ producer on here making any kind of remix/ re-edit is not paying the artist. So as far as 12"s along the lines of that..i guess im guilty. Am i paid off that...since you do this everyday, you already know the answer to that. Selling records is not how you make money now a days.
Would you be willing to bet the heads you work for have never booted or wanted to boot/white label anything ? Hmmmmmm....
What are you winning ? What prize do you get for putting shit on blast here? You want a parade now ?
As far as kings of digging goes, that is not this project. Again, you will lose your bet with this one. I dont think this thread was intended for you to police a labels clearence policy. If you have a problem with bbe on that end.. deal with that properly, not a on a chat message board where heads are checking for my shit. If being a label watchdog is what you want to do, go be charles bronson and take it to the label. Assuming you know the time with this project is not a good look. We are not bbe, and I have no problem with confrontation....what you posted was wack. Next time somebody posts a thread on an artists upcoming release, and you want to air out your negative feelings toward the label...hit them up directly.Blowing up spots on my time is
In a forum like this can't we say right off the bat that there is obviosuly an appreciation fo artists in our genres of choice and that we all wanna see them get their props/dues for the work they put in.
And that being said, can't we also agree that there's a big difference between dudes like Kon and Amir who are trying to put out dope music, do the right thing by the artists and also aren't exactly living like kings off the proceeds vs, say just as an example, Black Eyed Peas sampling Stark reality and not getting the sample cleared?
For me that pretty much sums it up.
In the words of Bob French, "Do your thing funky men, do your thing!"
(I paid Mr French money to use this quote)
This isn't about "blowing up" anyone's "spot," but rather a comment on the suspect practices of the label who released the record. Perhaps this is the one time they got it right, but my doubt is backed by a really poor track record on their part. They certainly didn't clear every track on Kon & Amir's last effort, so why should we expect any different?
If they licensed every track, and every artist is getting paid, I apologize. I don't however feel that they get a free pass just because they got two respectable DJs to select the tracks, especially considering said DJs last effort with the label. Let me make this clear, this is not a dig at Kon or Amir, or the record, only a cautionary tale. I think people like to know that artists and producers and writers are getting paid when they shell out $18 for a record. I'm glad to hear that every artist is getting paid on your latest record and hope the trend continues.
In the absence of a "BBE sucks" thread, this one unfortunately had to do.
As for your comment on the "heads I work for," you'll be happy to know there aren't any "heads" above mine. Unless you count the 100+ artists we work hard for every day. Artists like Jay Mitchell and Frank Penn, who are still by the way, waiting for that Kings Of Digging check. I'll relinquish the board back to you and resist the temptation to take up any of your "time" in the future by instead arguing about non-music related subjects like sneakers and Church's Chicken sides.
Take off your skirt and shut the fuck up. I'm saying that in the nicest voice possible hommie, you sounding like a snitch right now....

Bullshit. All you had to do was make one instead of turning this thread into your personal soapbox.
You "sound" like a "dick".
SAUCY!
make pretty damn good comps though - and you shouldn't call them out for something they haven't anything to do with really, beside picking the records.
subject after Kon & Amir had their say. Kon pretty much
laid it out in no uncertain terms, on all fronts.
I'll be purchasing. But I also need a clean upgrade
of my Garden of Eden on French - my copy is shredded
Umm, yeah, it looks great, listened to a few soundclips, all good. Thanks Kon & Amir!
