Kevin Aviance had no idea Beyoncé would sample his song

I get that, but this album is practically a playlist of old songs, I understand people sample often, but these were total ripoffs. And what a way to pay tribute to this music and culture by not even giving a nod to the people whose songs were sampled.

I'm not going to speak on the crediting part of the issue since I don't know what went on behind the scenes but I disagree wholeheartedly that this feels like a playlist.

I wonder if this was intentional to avoid song spoilers/leaks or contract leaks etc....

They way yall are trying to expose Bey but I highly doubt Gaga personally called every sample used on Chromatica, which was A LOT.

I could understand if it was a close friend of hers that had no idea, but it's a business. If the label/whoever owns it gets paid then they don't need a hand written note or phone call from anyone if the rights are out there to be used?

sue is such a pretty name

This one annoys me more than Kelis because she made a whole record appropriating Black queer culture and then didn't even convene with the Black queer icon she was interpolating.

Lol that is exactly what is happening and NOBODY is catching on to it. She started her solo career when sample stealing was at its height, which she happened to be involved with at times. Her use of these would have leaked (showing the direction of the album)

I've never said anything about officially crediting, I'm talking about reaching to the other person you are sampling and giving them a nod, hey im using your song or whatever... not necessarily to everyone who worked on the song, they're getting their credits and money anyways, but at least the person who performed it, it's called being professional, she only did it with Robin s for some reason, but she didn't with Kelis, neither with this guy Kevin, and maybe who else, as if she is above everyone else, which doesn't surprise me because she's always been full of herself... anyways ! 

 

lmao chillax there that's a leap. It was honestly probably a slip from Parkwood business side of things. like...one person is not going to be on top of everything. She has 3 kids, a husband, a whole album roll-out, a clothing line, etc. Stuff like this is the kind of thing you'd expect an assistant or manager to be on top of making sure you're attending to. I mean, how many people WITHOUT all that going on forget to send thank yous (which are basically the same thing here)? This reads as a business ****-up and sure it ultimately stops with her but like have a little grace for a living person and mistakes happening lmao
