Beyoncé removed interpolation of Kelis’ Milkshake from Energy

[Anderson123 30,858]

I knew that'd happen and I guess it's the right thing to do. Kelis is the artist and even if she doesn't have the writing credits, she said Pharrell/The Neptunes did it on purpose and used the song without telling her.

I'm sure something happened behind the scenes and there's a lot of people involved that take care of that (the legal/sampling stuff). I want to think Beyoncé had no idea of this mess because she sent Robin S. some flowers even if she's not the writer of Show Me Love but just wanted to show her respect.

Wait, this is the interpolation? I wasn’t following the drama and I thought it was way more significant. The “la la la”s don’t even sound like “Milkshake”?

But it really does make a difference... Even if I couldn't even tell it was there in the first place (?) 👂 

Honestly, mad respect. Lol a boss move

here before taylor makes her remove the mirrorball horse from the cover because it infringes on the folklore aesthetic

Why is kelis always mad about something she just like Khia only relevant when they bring up drama or something for 40 years ago 

[alsemanche 87,234]

It's still there for me

Same with the changed lyrics on Heated, they're still there for me

i don't think she wasn't mad at Beyonce she listened to BMS yesterday,
she probably didn't want Pharrell/The Neptunes to profit from her work

So Kelis went from getting royalties from what is no doubt going to be one of the most streamed albums this year to dust.  Way to fumble the bag

Because Bey and her team didn’t ask Kelis permission to use the sample. 
 

She may have LEGALLY used the sample, but didn’t extend the courtesy of asking Kelis.

She didn't even use Kelis' vocals or the song Kelis thought she used when she made those videos.

That's because they're not sampled. Interpolation is a recreation, like the ma ma ma Ma from Poker Face being recreated from Ma Baker by Boney M. A sample would be the usage of It's My House by Diana Ross on Replay.

But yeah, the usage was miniscule.

It's not the fact that there was an unchecked sample/interpolation, or even a sample, period. It's probably the fact that Kelis made a big stink about it with false information so B's team got petty.

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.

Fake news? Still on YouTube and Spotify in Norway at least.

Also I don't understand how it samples from 00:11? I hear it at the end of the song, but not the other?

right? i'm living for Bey and her team so much. 

You’re living for her team filled with white men disrespecting a legend like Kelis who has been stolen from her entire career? I guess it’s “support black women” but with terms and conditions applied.
