Are We Too Old For This Game?
Make music you enjoy, only. Make music that you're actually comfortable living with. If you're making other people's idea of good music, you will forever be a guest in their home, and at the mercy of their decisions/whims. Love what you do, and do what you love.- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
Right because a discussion on a forum about copyrights and new precedents of lawsuits is completely pointless//sarcasm. Im discussing what happened and the ideas about what could happen, as an aspiring artist and producer, I'd think you guys would be interested in this discussion besides the "He...- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
he said the song, not the instrumental. We dont know for sure that it was cleared, Samples DO go uncleared, ya know? Im a little unsure about the copyrightability of this derivative work though. The copyright office says reformatting is not copyrightable- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
Right and they're wrong for that. But should an arrangment justify a 10million$ lawsuit? and as I said I agree with the ethics, I'd want to be contacted and have my name on there; "Mac Miller - Lord finesse Hip 2 the Game freestyle" for instance, but its a dangerous road depending on how LF is...- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
Whats funny about this is, Ive read over both peoples arguments and I havent seen a mention of mixtape from anyone but you and 2G. The issue is the shows and tour he was able to do because of those mixtapes that were availble for free. Who here has paid for a mixtape in the last 10yrs???? lol...- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
Exactly, this erases that "for promo use only". This says, if you gain fame from using that beat, and you make money from that fame you pay up. Thats what he's suing for. It gets tricky because any freestyle could add to an artists "fame" the way this added to Mm: Jayz and Big Ls freestyle...- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
correct I do want to get paid, but the LEGAL PRECEDENT this sets can ruin so many established careers that all your favorite rappers can be sued 100,000 for one freestyle, does that truly make sense to you? To see so many people that have been stolen from by labels, lose what they do have...- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
Since when did people ask to use someones beat??? In hiphops 40 years, when has anyone asked anyone to record a freestyle or loose 16 over their instrumental?? Have yall even heard Mms track? its like 20 something bars, no hook & not a peep of LFs voice on there. So an uknown/undergroud artist...- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
Its kinda weird to see you guys say Mac should pay up when this is so prevalent and almost as big a mainstay of hiphop as sampling is. Does this mean no one should ever use someone elses beat ever? Miller only used the beat (LF claims the whole song) which was sampled, not composed, so I dont...- UNORTHODOX

Lord Finesse vs Mac Miller Lawsuit
If this works, alot of artists new and old, from here to the 90s, could potentially go bankrupt. This'll be like aids for hiphop. Take a second and think about how many artists have used anothers beat early in their careers to gain some attention. Think about how many "freestyles" you've heard...- UNORTHODOX

Does location matter nowadays
Dont overestimate the internet, the real world is def still your biggest asset. But I agree wit G^, LA is better, they have their own music industry out there, def more opportunity. Dallas does have a scene but its not as prevelant as it was the same as atlanta, but Dallas might be best for you...- UNORTHODOX

Do you "songwrite" when you create a beat, or do you just make the beat?
Always structure the beat and at least have a key phrase that can be turned into a hook. I try not to close the program till I at least have an idea for it.- UNORTHODOX

Is Rap Music Dead?
Who's Wax? But yea, we do nostalgiaze the past. We're familiar with those mediums/listening experience, so it takes us back. The trick is to find your groove in these times; theres higher quality mixes/recording, no "indie/unsigned stigmas", wider topic ranges etc. Idk if I would want to be...- UNORTHODOX
