>>11303355No, I learned it from a lifetime being involved in music as a DJ dealing primarily in Hip Hop. I can tell from the way you’re talking you don’t have a grasp of what a mixtape is. The whole mixtape scene since inception has been based around jumping on someone else’s beat without paying for it or experimenting with samples you know you could never clear. I’m not even talking about it that deep
>>11303561Like anon is with fair use and using samples to create something new entirely. I’m talking about mixtape artists not giving a fuck because what are the repercussions?
>hey you used our music/dialogue without paying for it on an album you didn’t actually release we want you to stop>okay kek I’ll get right on that faggit Mixtapes aren’t sold through traditional channels. It’s just to get something creative out there and get some heat on you or keep it on you between touring and commercial releases or trying to get a name. Artists have made money off them but it’s extra-legally. This may come as a shocker but they probably also didn’t pay taxes on the money they made either. I’m not talking about something like The Verve trying to sneak a Rolling Stones sample on their radio single. I’m talking about an album made specifically for the streets that used to get sold at bodegas or sent directly to a mixtape website to be streamed. There is no way to stop it once it’s been uploaded. All they can do is file a copyright strike on a platform like YouTube.
The worst case scenario is a song on your mixtape goes nuclear and you have to scramble to cut a deal or lose out entirely on the dimes. See something like The Grey Album or that old town road faggot that had to give half his dimes to Trent Reznor. Even that’s not a bad problem because it means you got huge.
