The law exists for a reason, to prevent musicians from exploiting others’ work without permission.
#Top logic mixtapes free#
But again, the rise of Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest has incentivized rappers to release every project through official channels and reduced the free mixtape sites to a shadow of their former selves. And in the ’00s, when rappers regularly released free projects through sites like Datpiff and Livemixtapes - a continuation of the longtime practice of selling mixtapes out of somebody’s trunk - it was exhilarating to hear what people like Lil Wayne could pull off over other people’s beats. The way producers like Prince Paul, the Bomb Squad, and the Dust Brothers tossed together piles of disparate sounds in the late ’80s and early ’90s was breathlessly exciting, and then an onslaught of lawsuits forced hip-hop to adjust its practice.
To a point, Logic’s argument is understandable. Fuck people taking all a producers money for not doing shit and fuck the companies that say no just cuz. Just want to take a moment and say, Fuck sample clearence. He also implied that he’s had to change some of the beats on his songs after the copyright holder denied use of a sample. The tweet seemed to be an expression of longing for the anything-goes nature of sampling on mixtapes before rappers began releasing virtually all their projects through official streaming services and retailers. Last night on Twitter, Logic posted a message expressing frustration with the tedious nature of clearing samples. What does not compute is the public stance Logic just took against sample clearance. The superstar Maryland MC just began rolling out his new album Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind with the Eminem collab “ Homicide.” This much seems logical.
