Ever since I’ve been a Kelis stan? Everyone in the hip hop community is very well aware of her feud with those men. It’s not an overnight revelation, it has been going on for years. To put things in perspective, if Gaga had sampled Madonna without even asking her first and Madonna got mad, would you still say “Why didn’t Madonna call Gaga instead?” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably credited them anyway out of courtesy/to be safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one of those 17 producers (apart from herself) was a woman. I guess that’s enough for me to say that her team is filled with white men, isn’t it? It's getting hella weird Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Beyonce (or in your example Gaga) were 100% in the wrong (which she isn’t), you still can at least try to handle it privately before going on Instagram and calling her a thief in front of millions of people. Out of curiosity, do you think Gaga called Diana Ross before sampling her song (which she doesn’t have a writing credit on either) on “Replay”?

I’m sure Bloodpop or Gaga’s team called Diana Ross’s estate and asked for their blessing before using the sample. Yes. Even though it’s not even close to being similar to this case, considering Diana never claimed to have written or produced the track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillynate 6,170 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Admin said: Yup, that’s why I said interpolation. But my point is… those “la la la”s don’t sound enough like the “la la la”s from “Milkshake” to even qualify as an interpolation, let alone a sample. They probably credited “Milkshake” just to be safe and ironically it probably would’ve been better if they didn’t credit anyone at all. I feel like with this album she was adding samples and interpolations just for the heck of it. Break My Soul uses the same preset as the Robin song, but not the same melodies. So she didn’t really have to credit Robin but she did anyway. And the last song… I think it can stand on its own if you take away the Donna summer stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
