Back in the 90’s, many so-called producers were laughing all the way to the bank, after stealing exerts of classics, created by true to-the-bone artists.
My reasoning for using the word ’stealing’, is because many of the producers in question never took the time to make an effort to tweek what they were thieving. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve heard the Frankie Beverly And Maze track, “Before I Let Go”. With so many rappers laying their vocals on the classic track, the group “Maze” didn’t need to release another album. Know why? Because hip/hop producers must of been paying out the ass to clear the sample.
Sean “Puffy” Combs is notorious for making a lengthy career, from his constant sampling of music. That does not constitute being a producer Diddy!!! Anyone with a pair of ears can hear that dude simply sampled any record he liked, added new drums, threw a rapper or singer on it, and released it. Guess what? Those so-called works of art sold millions. (more…)

Is BET really the Belly of the Beast?
An open letter from Andreas Hale
To friends, colleagues and those that should know,
As of today (September 8, 2009) I am no longer the Executive Editor of Music at BET.com.
Upon entering the position at BET I said that I needed one year to see what really went on inside the belly of the beast. I needed 365 days to sleep with the enemy and infiltrate the system. One year to see if they REALLY wanted change at BET.
As someone who has been critical of BET for many years, it surprised many that I would leave my post at HipHopDX last year to take a position at BET. But it was an opportunity I absolutely had to take. I could no longer be critical of this company without accepting the opportunity to change it when given. Although I was hired to bring about change, I was systematically shut down. I wasn’t hired to make noise, I was hired to be silenced. (more…)
