We are overruled by a corporate world. People in business suits throwing lawsuits. They plead injustice and are served with a big fat pay cheque as a reward; countless lies, countless victims, numerous accusations held with restrictions.
Music is art, art is creative freedom of expression; Yet these laws cause repression. Stamped with countless rules and jurisdictions. Music is a mosaic of familiar sounds and inspirations. These people are the Picassos, the Van Goghs, the Michael Angelos of our time painting the pictures of what our eyes do not see!
They pick and choose songs to sample from like how many make collages or scrapbooks. It's a representation of who they are, what they are about. A place where no rights should be involved, no boundaries, no business-tied accomplices should step foot in, and no judgement should take place.
Music should equal passion, not money. The mathematical equation does not add up at this point. The ability to influence someone so much that they would want to add you to their collage, their artwork, turn it around, and make it their own should be taken upon as flattery and not taken upon with legal action. It's a disappointing factor but the reality is, with the kind of society we now live in, even...
Cash...
Rules...
Everything...
Around...
MUSIC.

baybaybabesss,
ReplyDeletei was at the live premiere of this documentary here in Toronto. They showed it for free to the public at the Toronto Film Festival. I lined up so I could be at the front of the stage to watch it (they played it in dundas sq) -- the filmmakers were there, along with CHUCK D from public enemny and the Funky Drummer, Clyde Stubblefield! I fought a girl who stole my autograph that Chuck D signed for me. She took it out of his hand as he was passing it back to me. I literally turned around and yelled at her, "HEY THATS MY AUTOGRAPH!!!!" Hahahhahahahahhahahahahha. It's so funny thinking back on it now. Lol. I just stole the next autograph that was for someone else and they were like, "Hey that's mine!" and Then I turned back at them and was like, "WELL SHE TOOK MINE SO!!!!" HAHAHAH. SO BAD.
