Can trash cans stop releasing music and getting support, thanks :yennefer:

"Kanye West was rightfully skewered for collaborating with Marilyn Manson, DaBaby, and Chris Brown on his new album Donda. Not to be outdone, Drake’s newly released album, Certified Lover Boy, included a songwriting credit from R Kelly.

The accused sexual predator, who currently stands trial in a New York federal court for sex crimes he allegedly committed against underaged girls and boys, is credited as a composer and lyricist on Drake’s CLB song “TSU.” At the moment, it’s not clear whether Drake simply interpolated one of R Kelly’s old songs, or included newly penned lyrics from the disgraced singer. Either way, it’s a bad look."

According to WhoSampled, Certified Lover Boy’s stripper ode “TSU” utilizes the same symphonic intro found in Kelly’s 1998 single “Half on a Baby.”( The Kelly sample occurs at the 20-second mark on “TSU”) Due to the sample, Kelly is also a credited songwriter on the track, alongside Drake, the track’s producers (Harley Arsenault, Noel Cadastre, OC Ron G) and Christopher Cross, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake; N’Sync’s version of Cross’ “Sailing” is also sampled on the track. 

A version of “TSU” has been kicking around in demo form since 2018 — just months before Surviving R. Kelly and the subsequent legal charges that followed that docuseries

He probably used a sample. It's not like they did a whole collaboration and performed on SNL together. 

 

Even if its a sample its not really justifiable since that means R Kelly will still earn a percentage of royalties from every sale/stream of the song. And this year of our lord 2021, do we really want to be funding someone who has 22 counts of sexual misconduct against minors? :yennefer:

Who cares? The man has children. What are they supposed to do starve? It wasn't a direct collaboration. Put him in jail to pay for his crimes. 

It's just a sample.
