AkariGaga 1,102 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Pharrell Williams is basically a confirmed thief of credits and other people’s songs at this .point.Remember“ Blurred Lines”??? They had to pay 5.3 million in damages to the Marvin Gayle family.I trust Kelis. And it is basically human decency to call or text the fellow black female artist who you are about to sample on your album whether she has credits or not.They both have mutual friends in the industry. It is not that difficult to call or at least text. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeJudas 6,490 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 The difference is that Beyonce uses a sample and makes use out of it Other sample queens just basically sample the entire song and don't put any effort into just piggybacking off of the love for the sample... So...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future Lovers 6,587 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I mean sure I guess if she wanted to be nice Bey could've contacted her, I won't argue that. But Bey did everything legally, so should Kelis' anger not be directed at the ones who created the circumstances that made it legally safe for her to not be contacted? As in...The Neptunes.

She dared to strongly distance herself from medias and to beef with her former hitmakers without ever going back on her word to serve the masses an happy ending for attention or smt.

How is it hard to understand that it’s literally the bare minimum? You’re not wrong, but does this qualify as “theft” lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ironic because Break My Soul doesn’t technically sample Show Me Love, it’s just a similar beat/sound and Robin S is credited out of respect. Gaga’s Sour Candy uses a similar beat but the only people credited are the actual writers/producers of the song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChvVolk 1,978 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Kelis a queen. I can't believe there are people asking who. Flesh Tone has to be one of the best pop albums with dance influences that was done completely right. Nothing on that record is cookie cutter and basic. It shocks me still the David Guetta who I think is awful and Will.I.Am who I also think is awful, had production credits on that album because it really doesn't sound like the trash they put out. Also for people saying she's doing too much. I think this is the first time I've seen her speak since her husband passed away very recently. Let her lash out. She has every right to be upset that someone used her song and won't get anything out of it since she was screwed over when it came to credits. I believe that's what she's mad about. Beyoncé was aware of this and still used the song, so that's where the "where's the female empowerment you speak of" is coming from. Because Beyoncé is using a song that was basically taken away from another woman knowing this has been an ongoing issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernEcstasy 8,525 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Isn’t this what happened with Robin S and “Break my soul”? Hmm, does seem disrespectful to use so many peoples work without acknowledgement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
