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!

well the sample is even named in the actual booklet which means they cleared the sample so somebody aint either got no publishing or his check aint been sent yet by the company
The sample being named and being cleared are two different things. They may have been in the midst of negotiating and the ink didn’t dry… It’s nothing.. Give Old’ Dude a Fish Fry and a Fifth of Corn Liquor and he’ll be straight
Pete Rock talks about “The Joy”

The crazy thing is PR used the same sample on Soul Survivors 2 waaay before WTT came out. Did he get a clearance then? Do u have to pay 2X for the same sample? Just curious.
Kanye didn’t put her on.. R Kelly did.
Yep Kelly did put her on
can kanye west make a beat without sampling?
^
well for starters, kanye west didn’t make this beat.
Did you know that Chad Ochocinco is her brother?
Anyway, she’s kinda wrong because Pete Rock said he never used the Syl Johnson sample when he made the beat. That part was added after by Kanye, who co-produced “The Joy” along with Mike Dean and Jeff Bhasker.
Strong Arm Steady used the original version of the beat for “The Joy” on a song called “Makings of You”:
As you can hear Kanye, Dean and Bhasker touched it up a bit. The Syl Johnson sample isn’t on the original beat Pete Rock produced.
It might not matter to the lawsuit who did what on the beat since everyone is listed as a producer, but for the record Pete Rock had nothing to do with that sample being on the song.
@SHAWN You wouldnt name a sample in the credits and liner notes unless u cleared otherwise its a big ass lawsuit im pretty sure jay and kanye got all there samples cleared guaranteed
Kanye did not put Syleena Johnson on….N WTH does her father suiing Kanye have to do with her for you to be calling HER out of her name…Ms. Johnson has just released her fifth Album “Chapter V:Underrated” and has done numerous appearances with some of the BEST in the game… No body put her on she worked her ass off to get to where she is…
This is business, never personal.. All the foolish name calling towards Syleena is stupid. Business is business.. BTW, Syleena was hot before the All Falls Down track.. Do your research..

You guys just don’t know what artist go through. Nobody gave her the voice to sing so how they put her on. She developed and mastered her craft all on her on. As for features and records that people wrote for her, nobody has ever just made it off no features or someone not affiliating themselves with other big name artist. I’m her nephew and I know the real story as for the haters “Ha” cause I know you mad that why you call her out of her name. Shout out to Chad Johnson. The Johnson family is strong over here.!!!!
