That was beyond a sample. I can understand using a song as a base, but when an artist just puts different lyrics on top someone else’s beat, there can be no complaints about paying up.
Shit been going on since the beginning, Big Daddy Kane use to write for Biz Markie 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ nobody gave a shit just as long as the music was good !!!
Sampling is not a good idea if you wanna maxumize the amount of money you make. Even if the song is a major hit, most the money will go to the original artist. Plus they took the beat AND the hook....
It's folklore that Sting gets ALL the publishing money from The Police songs.... Journalist Vic Garbarini conducted an interview in 2000 with the Police & subsequently made the following statement after the interview to clear up some wordplay between Sting, Andy & Stewart regarding the ''I'll Be Missing You'' song: “The basic premise that Sting gets all the royalties/publishing for Police songs is simply not true. Early on it became apparent that Andy and Stewart’s unique contributions to Stings songs, really gave them a whole other dimension. So Sting agreed to give each of his bandmates 15% of royalties each, on all his songs.”
Great song but also one of the saddest songs in hip hop. I could’ve guessed Sting got most the money tho..same music, same melody and everything but dope song R.I.P B.I.G
But morally I would’ve did a nicer split with the newer artists ya know. True a person can rightfully take what’s technically owed to them lending a sample & song but doesn’t mean morally we should be greedy. That punk ass white boy has around 400 million dollars, he wasn’t hurting for no money at all, and Puff legally sampled it, whereas Juicewrld and his producer stole the sample. I was tryna give sting benefit of the doubt,but he seems like a pretty greedy money hungry dude anyways.
@@callummorgan5664 He wrote the rap, fool. That's what he gets royalties for. He didn't steal anything. Puff used the sample without permission and Sting sued him.
Hold up I remember sting performing this song with puff and faith at award shows 🤣🤣🤣 you mean to tell me he took all the money for the song and still performed with them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sting didn't want to do it so he said he wanted all the money thinking Puffy wasn't serious.Then he felt like he shouldn't perform because Hip Hop isn't his genre & he didn't want to be disingenuous.He actually donated a lot of the money to charity & the family but people stopped talking about the real story a long time ago.
@@mrkilo-g8794 Even if Big didn't pass that album was still gonna sell. Between Big, Mase, The Lox and The Hitmen that album had way to many singles and it was gonna blow regardless. One song doesn't sell a multiplatinum album.
Shawn Carter No real rapping was required on that song! He's basically slow talking thru the song. And I know about Puff history in the game, that's still lame though!!
Sting said on the Breakfast Club since Diddy didnt get permission to use Sting's sampled music on "Missing You" Diddy has to pay him everytime the song is played- forever.
If I were an artist that made music and someone sampled, or took anything from my work, plus I owned publishing? Damn right they give me most of the proceeds 💪😊
Same with Tribe and "Can I Kick It". Lou Reed cleared the sample but he took 100% of the publishing. That's the cons of sampling. The original artist can set the terms anyway they like, as they should, but 100% seems kinda jacked up.
Sting been getting some serious royalties from Diddy's I'll Be Missing You in 1997 all the way to Juice WRLDS Lucid Dreams in 2018 and will continue getting them as he rightfully should those are the songs he created.
He should hell he don’t pay his artists correctly and he robs the families of the artists he had killed. I’m happy to hear Sting taking what is deserved.
I mean if u sample like Tribe, Pete Rock, Preemo, etc I think that's cool. Missing You wasn't a sample, it was a str8 bite. Puffy bit that song. It was basically the same some as Sting. That's not sampling, that's biting!!!
@@edennard1 Puff had people that can flip the hell out of sampled (easy moo bee or the hit squad) thing is that his visionm probably was that a straight loop will be more friendly to mainstream audiences that a choped hiphopish niche beat
Juice WRLD can relate to Sting taking most of the money lol Sting don't need to make any more records or businesses to feed his great grand kids. The samples from various artists got his generation covered.
If I'm the original artist of the song that went Platnium and another artist wants to use it ( him or her ) then I'll tell you what royalties I will receive PERIOD..,
True but also if you sample a record the owner of the song you sampled from will automatically get %50 unless they decide they want more. That is the downfall of sampling.
The same thing happened to Warren G for the Doobie Brothers sample he used on the Regulator song. He didn't get a dime for that song but he made money from touring.

Never sample a Sting record. He will take everything.
As he should. It was a heavy sample, it should come with a heavy paycheck.
Sampling is not a good idea if you wanna maxumize the amount of money you make. Even if the song is a major hit, most the money will go to the original artist. Plus they took the beat AND the hook....
It all depends on how much you sample. The same thing happened to Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz. Steely Dan got 100% of the publishing.
This is why dr Dre will replicate a sound to avoid paying

Most time, is record label and producers that claim the copyrights, sometimes agasin frontman singer whises.
Sauce is too humble he has crazy credits
"Naw, it wasn't the police it was Sting." 😂😂😂
here after Gene Deal
Same 😂
Me too 😅
Same here
Sauce was a beast. His flow and content was barbaric in the booth. Dude definetly didn't get the shine he deserved.
Sauce’s pen game is legendary ✍️
The first two seconds of the song I'm already crying.
'do you know'....is dope.
That song is so deep

Sauce also wrote "best friend" for puff, which was a big song from his second album
Tuck H5 my fav song back in 1999
That was my favorite song on that album when I was a teenager
No way ...... that shit was my jam. I foolishly thought puff wrote that. Smh.
@Marvin Santana he maybe wrote the hook but sauce wrote the verses for puff
I remember meeting Sauce in Ulster county jail both of us were on a visit. Cool dude
Life after death sold more than 10 million vlad do you research!
He already fucking lack research lol
actually over 11 million.
Diamond because he pass. If he was alive I doubt it would have did those numbers

😂😂😂
Its so ironic i been listening to this album lately!!!! N was amazed at the music!!!! Def classic!!!!!!
Every breath you take is by the Police!
Sting is a member of the police!!
Oh the "Young G's " record he wrote Puff's verse? I always that Jay-Z wrote that verse. That's wild.
Damn it feels good to see people up on it.
Me I actually think he had the second best verse after biggie
@@gargenfluckgosphenspiels4849 flipped two keys in two weeks and didn't flaunt it (big murked that)

Also 2000$ a day for life from P. Diffy
Missing you is a classic track man
Sample another person song, expect to get clipped by the original artist.
Basically
That wasn't the Grammy's that was the MTV music awards.
If I were an artist that made music and someone sampled, or took anything from my work, plus I owned publishing? Damn right they give me most of the proceeds 💪😊
Shut up. No one asked you.
Sting said that if they asked him he would have said yes. But they didn't, so he sued.
Respect, this song brings me to tears can’t jam to it. Dear momma and lord I’m just a g too
Puff also sampled Roxanne by Sting as well...I guess him & Puff was cool!!
Well it makes since that Sting took the majority of the money, IT'S HIS RECORD Puff should have Known better.
Sting ain't bullshittin! He like "I need all that! " 😂😂😂
Whenever I think of Puffy, all I think of is Dave Chappell in a visor and some shades...🤣🤣😂😂😘
Sting show up like "Beautiful rendition of an orginal piece, the artist is amazing" hype it up then send that notice.
“Every breath you take” was performed and released by the POLICE in 1983 on their Synchronicity album. Yes, STING wrote it, but it is a POLICE song. 😊
Sting should have got most of the money. It's his song. It was already a hit song and still a bigger hit than the Puff Daddy version.
People forget that back then Life after Death was double CD, AND one album sold counted as two units sold.
True but they were also just under the cost of two separate albums, say a single CD was 10 a double would be 19 dollars.
you get twice the songs, so its legit to me
Life after Death almost doubled No Way Out in sales
Props Sauce Money. Do You Know is my favorite song on that Puffy album. That shit is so deep.
“What kind of name is Puffy for a grown man anyway.”
-biggies mom
I can hear that in a jamaican dialect😂
Anybody who writes a song is a genius 💐 for Sauce Money
Sting must love rap music as these rappers keep paying him
Sauce Moneys album Middle Finger U was 🔥 🔥
So glad to hear Sting took most.
I knew about the missing you record . I didnt know about the others....it would of been dope to hear sauce on young gs with Big and Jay

Sting and Diddy performed it at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, not the Grammys. Also, it was The Police's song, not Sting's solo song.

It was a Police record. Sting wrote that song so he probably got the majority of the credit.
Not probably, he did
"Outta this World like Mars when I spit these Bars. Come fuck wit these stars, up in luxury cars."
Its Stings song, of course he's gonna take most of the profit, it's a hit because they sampled his song.. period.. was Puffy Mad about it?
