the same conversation is going on on my fb page as we speak. swizzy.....

Tee Love it's a STRAIGHT jack tho. i think lupe intends for this shit to be iconic somehow and he's piggy-backing off of pete rock in the process, imo.

Lilian Chavez Jeremy: Pete Rock did. He even got a co-sign. Go read his Twitter TL. T.R.O.Y. was a heart-felt personal tribute. It wasn't just any regular joint to Pete. THAT'S what got to Pete. Plus the fact that the person who did the beat for Lupe did...

Lilian Chavez The fact that nothing was really done to the beat makes it a "beat jack" and furthermore makes it messed up that Lu is taking a step further into selling it.

Lilian Chavez Lu has already rapped over the beat and released it before (the song "Dope Boy") but he didn't sell it for profit because the beat wasn't his. I think that's why Pete didn't make it a big deal before.

Jeremy Roshun Don't catch a frog and call it a snake because your best friend told you it was a snake.. ITS NOT EITHER OF THEIR SONG lol.. They both sampled, thats like the handicapped man with paper clip legs gets mad that a child with the same paper clip legs runs faster than he does.. think about it..

Lilian Chavez even if they did. He ended up getting it cleared. Lupe didn't and he also didn't get the sample flipped or any of that, which makes it a beat-jack.

Lilian Chavez Selling a beat jack? No dice. And Lupe knows that's wrong which is why he never sold "Dope Boy".

Lilian Chavez He's selling this one wrongfully. And I don't know of a producer who calls a beat-jack "sampling". Obviously I'm not seeing something you are. So what is it exactly that was DIFFERENTLY sampled on "Around My Way" that set it apart from T.R.O.Y. that makes it sampled vs a beat jack?

Tee Love Tom Scott should be mad? He's the originator of the element that makes that song memorable, right? my guess is that pete rock probably ended up doing a favor for dude cuz a lot of other people had to take notice of his catalog because pete ...

Lilian Chavez Once again, I'm talking "sampling". Not the weak drums that were poorly added. Tom Scott was sampled. His whole beat wasn't taken and sprinkled with weak drums.
