My debut solo album, 1988, will be 20 years old this spring. To celebrate this special landmark, I'll be doing a 20-year anniversary show on Fri. April 4th at Natalie's in Columbus & playing the album in its entirety. Y'all ready?! TICKETS

@forceoftoomb Exactly. That has always been the understanding but somewhere along the line people started getting it twisted.

@NomisHipHop I agree. I also think there's an element of producing-for-other-producers that makes some of us feel guilty about "not doing enough".

Luka's revenge tour on the entire league for the next 4-5 years is gonna be a sight to behold.
Mavs owner Patrick Dumont: “If you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with — Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Shaq — they worked really hard, everyday with a singular focus to win. And if you don’t have that, it doesn’t work… You shouldn’t be apart of the Dallas Mavericks.” (via @townbrad)

@NomisHipHop yes I would agree there. If you are indy and your profile is not large, you shouldn't have to worry about sample clearance. But it also kind of goes back to my original question of why they would feel the need to avoid looping something dope if their profile is smaller?

And to be clear, I'm not saying don't chop up samples or don't sample at all--I'm just saying that legally there is no real distinction between looping or chopping. If you're popular enough, they'll come get you, and it doesn't matter how surgical you got with the chops.

@monstermattHHOP @thebeatminer I wish this were true. Legally, once you sample that master recording you are infringing.

I agree 100%!
@printmatic Definitely. And then you listen to artists and it's the simplest, best shit because they knew it didn't need anything else. I also think it's easier to know when to stop changing or adding things if you have a rapper on it because that's also an instrument in a sense.
