was he getting paid for the project? exactly...

he's not on the record dissing sampling before he became enlightened (like many men after he started seeing checks)?

he didnt deny souls of mischief because he didnt like their song?

everything i said is true...here's a quote and a link

"“ after was a hit. It was quite a ways down the line. I would not have spent the money to do anything about if it had not been so successful. It was way up on the charts, and a friend of mine in the music business called me and was like, ‘You should check out this recording.’ And when I heard it, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I was insulted by it. It was blatantly stealing my music without asking me about it. It was way before this genre had developed a stage where some of these samples actually took on a historic value of their own. And of course, when ‘Nautilus’ took on this value, I had a different type of appreciation for it. But this was just theft."
