RE: (313) Cybotron - Clear

2005-05-12 Thread George Jones IV - Logic7
I wasn't trying to imply that Juan and Rick are suing anyone. My thought was
fairly incomplete now that I've re-read my post. Let me fill in the blanks:

If Missy and company had cleared the sample, then no worries there; someone
got paid, just don't know if it would be Juan and Rick or not. If the sample
has not been cleared (you'd be suprised how often this happens these days),
then there would most likely be some form of litigation to get payment on
it's useage. If it goes to court and the plaintiff named is Cybotron, then
Rick and Juan will have to come together as Cybotron in order to file a
lawsuit. This is exactly what happened when Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam was sued
by Main Source over her uncleared sample of Main Source's Looking At the
Front Door. The group had broken up prior to the lawsuit, but had to come
together as Main Source in order to file suit.

Hope that clarifies my thoughts.

What lawsuit?   people, people.. all this wild-eyed speculation of
lawsuits... who said Missy  Co. used it without negotiating rights to
use?   Unless somebody knows for sure, there's no need to speculate ill
will that someone was ripped off here  (well, ripped off monetarily,
ha).  Rather than invent drama why don't we just wait for some news, if
there even is any, that something here is rotten.

I personally think there's every reason to think whoever wrote 
performed the original will have some rights to some portion of profits
made on the Missy track.  Missy is a HUGE artist on a major label where
sample clearance has been paramount for well over a decade on releases
like this.  It's not some shady white label bass record of 700 copies.

At labels that size there are small armies of folks whose sole job it
is just negotiating sample usage rights for artists who use such huge
chunks of landmark tracks.   So much in new hip-hop and RB is based on
samples of obviously recognizable songs, thus the booming cottage
industry of entertainment lawyers drafting up contracts based on
acceptable use and drawing up terms of contracts in various ways to pay
the original artists/labels.  Of course there are exceptions but this
is pretty obvious territory.  It's not like a subtle snippet of Clear
was used... the backing track *IS* Clear!

 And Timberland has been quoted as saying that he doesn't listen to
 electronic dance music.

 Although Clear is as much apart of Hip-Hop history as Techno, I wonder
 if they even know that song is from a Techno Pioneer.

You're right on Timbaland and his comments (some don't accept that he is
ignorant, however, just pretending not to have heard any electronic music),
but Chad of the Neptunes is v familiar with electronic music - his roots lie
in that scene as much as hip-hop. He played in a proto rave outfit years
back. He went to college with Bryan Zentz and is on his last Intec album
playing sax. He's also v familiar with Detroit techno and can name names.

 Timbaland is not part of the Neptunes, but both are passe this week, so
 it's probably someone new.

Don't give up yet - Pharrell is working on a solo album and probably saving
his best beats for that.
I think Timbaland was never the same after the passing of his muse, Aaliyah.
I would recommend you guys check out Ultimate Aaliyah, a new comp which
shows how their work stands the test of time. It's worth it to get the
lesser known song I Am Music - v When Doves Cry.
Interestingly Missy Elliott has cut a song with the Neptunes on her new
album Cook Book.
At the moment Kanye is the defining RB producer, with Rich Harrison pretty
hot. Harrison comes out of the DC go-go scene and has produced the current
hit I Thing for Amerie and also did Crazy In Love for Beyonce. Also Richard
X has done great future RB/hip-hop for Annie, MIA and that dude from
Organized Konfusion whose name is escaping me this sec. ;)

Now you have. 1 Thing is AWFUL! That horn loop was overused as-is and I
can think of only one song that used it well: Low Profile's The Beat Is
Dope (Low Profile was W.C. and DJ Alladin, only released one album).

Anyways, I figured it was only a matter of time before someone sampled a
Detroit Techno track for use in hip-hop. Next we're gonna hear a loop from
Strings of Life on a 50 Cent album...

This might be something I watch a bit closely since Rick Davis still uses

lawsuits... who said Missy  Co. used it without negotiating rights to 
use?   Unless somebody knows for sure, there's no need to speculate ill 
will that someone was ripped off here  (well, ripped off monetarily, 
ha).  Rather than invent drama why don't we just wait for some news, if 
there even is any, that something here is rotten.


I personally think there's every reason to think whoever wrote  
performed the original will have some rights to some portion of profits 
made on the Missy track.  Missy is a HUGE artist on a major label where 
sample clearance has been paramount for well over a decade on releases 
like this.  It's not some shady white label bass record of 700 copies.


At labels that size there are small armies of folks whose sole job it 
is just negotiating sample usage rights for artists who use such huge 
chunks of landmark tracks.   So much in new hip-hop and RB is based on 
samples of obviously recognizable songs, thus the booming cottage 
industry of entertainment lawyers drafting up contracts based on 
acceptable use and drawing up terms of contracts in various ways to pay 
the original artists/labels.  Of course there are exceptions but this 
is pretty obvious territory.  It's not like a subtle snippet of Clear 
was used... the backing track *IS* Clear!



Something similar happened when Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam
sampled a Main Source tune and the group had to come together again in 
order

to file a lawsuit.


Let's hope all this lawsuit talk is unnecessary... jeez.

what i'm supposing he is that maybe he sold the rights.  i'm pretty  
sure when that comp cd came out a while ago he didn't even know about  
it.

Why would that be? Didn't he release it on his own label way back  
in the

the rights are owned by Deep Space Music c/o Fantasy Inc

Juan Atkins and Richard Davis are listed as songwriters

if it's a favored nation licensed deal then whatever the publishers get -
the writers would get the same amount
