Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.DotMoment of Clarity: Kia Shine’s Role In Drake’s “Best I Ever Had”
Thursday, September 17 2009 12:59 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, True Story
So the Internets are abuzz with claims that Kia Shine ghostwrote Drake’s “Best I Ever Had.” Although he does own a portion of one of rap’s biggest hits, it appears to be because he produced the original Young Money joint that inspired it.
Take a listen:
As you can hear in the opening verse, Drake lifted the melody and a few words from Weezy. So Mr. Carter and Kia get a piece of the pie—BMI Awards and all. That’s how the music biz works, kids.
Props: Khrys X
its more like Kia Shine wrote the entire lil wayne and drake song. plus weezy don’t his one shit…
I’m not gonna be a hater about this… I just won’t. Congrats to him.
holly fak lil waynes voice is shit…..
id rather listen to nails on a chalk board then that song
i knew that shit sounded a bit weezy, lol so whos the ghost writer now lol this niga took the whole melody from wayne
Here is my take, if he really did ghost write for Drake, why is he coming out 7 months later saying it? And correct me if I’m wrong but isnt that what artist really do on mixtapes is switching up words and flows of other artist to make their own stuff.
word this shit seems a bit shady, like this niga threattened to say something about ghostwriting for them or sumpin…if we do a song and its never released on a major level how do you own the lyrics…its like if a producer does a beat tape and 2 artists do songs on the beat but dont release them then a third artist uses the beat on his album. the 2 original artists cant claim ownership of the new song right but according to this situation with kia shine this would meain the producer owns all 3 songs. thats wack. i sense some pr moves… i bet the knee shit is bs also, and then you have the very unique “deal” with cash money now having a role all of a sudden and then this shit
well – drakes cd was/is a mixtape so it makes sense..I think we forget that and think it was a single because the radio spins and hype it received.
what are you talking about shorty…once the shit hits stores theres paperwork involved because there will be $$ made off of it so theres credits yadda yadda. Do you not know that some of so far gone has been released as an ep this week. i dont care how he came up with the song he could have stole the lyrics what i was trying to say is how does kia shine getted paid if his track with wayne was never released on anything but a mixtape. that all
Nigga you do not get 25% of all profits from making a song that “inspired” another song. That’s total bullshit Kia wrote a good amount of “Best I Ever Had” to get 25% and that’s why he got an award for it and he obviously went threw legal paperwork to get credited and paid for that. So saying he got awarded for that Wayne song Drake got “inspired” by is total bullshit, that is not how shit works.
