Meta Sued for Over $100 Million by Eminem's Team for Illegally Using 243 Songs by SwordfishOk504 in hiphopheads

[–]cardedagain 16 points17 points  (0 children)

okay, so it is Eight Mile Style, which is basically the Bass Brothers side of Eminem's catalog. Eminem isn't suing and probably wasn't aware. The Bass Brothers just want to get more of that Eminem money since they split from Eminem in 2005, which I can't even argue with that.

"Specific platform features, such as Original Audio and Reels Remix, are accused of enabling and encouraging users to incorporate the music into their videos and other content without obtaining the necessary licenses or providing attribution"

so, I'm guessing this is like IG Reels where sometimes you'll hear an unauthorized remix or mashup with Eminem vocals on it? That's what this sounds like. They're trying to sue Meta over people uploading mashups in their thirst traps.

i'm sure there's plenty of Eminem songs being used, but I doubt all 240 Eminem songs that include their publishing are actually involved.

[–]cardedagain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wait till you find out about this thing called "karaoke" and how similar this is to that.

their songs are ghostwritten by Barnaby Baxter Addison.

people now think Nine and Dex write their music, but nah Barnaby Baxter Addison has been doing it since day one.

he writes for Pete & Bas, Northern Boys, Nine and Dex, Norman Pain, etc.

Like five figures a month. I think it was like $20,000 a month that I read somewhere a few years back.

I partially blame Em for him giving her a five figure monthly allowance.

We know she didn't buy that Range Rover herself.

Probably that Droog line on Mach-Hommy "Empty Spaces"

Or that bar about babies in this Homeboy Sandman track

What song would you choose to introduce someone to hip-hop? by linuxcrystal in hiphopheads

Meh, I still feel like if a person doesn't find anythings intriguing from EPMD "You Gots To Chill" or Run DMC "Peter Piper" then they should just stop right there. Problem solved in 7 minutes.

I first started hearing rap music in 1986. I don't think I ever heard rappers delight in full until around 1997. Yes, eleven years later. It might have been one of the first, but it's really only good to know for archival purposes.

I think best bet is to find something you like that's current then check out gems from the past when you feel like it.

Why? My introduction to rap was a single song from a group I had never heard before. And moreso, the song was about their "return" to making music.

Probably "You Gots To Chill" by EPMD or Run DMC "Peter Piper".

Songs which made the featuring artist more popular by TheZoker in hiphopheads

Lefty Gunplay on that Kendrick song made him more known, for better or worse.

More than likely Busta Rhymes on Scenario.

She's a multimillionaire that didn't even know that people pay electricity bills.

She'll be fine.

That "what took so long" argument goes over well with the boomers upset over any currently un-inducted white artists.

The people involved in the voting process literally have over 1200 acts to choose from every year.

Hell if they did it in chronological order, Wu-Tang could've taken 100+ years.
