Thanks Pat. I'll definitely look for it. My whole point wasn't about Elvis stealing, it eas about America not knowing the history of their valued music and stars while also looking down and mistreating kin of the creators.

@@mattythechefdc That’s right!

I'm so honored for your words iamktenee 🙏🏽😢. Let the world hear everything you've got clearly! 💙🫡 - Matty

They don’t & he only got paid $25 for the 6 songs he wrote for Elvis!😢

​​​​​​​@@Mahale_Mel only IGNORANT people believe that nonsense of a lie 😂😂😂 Don't be cruel alone sold 5 millions copies! Otis Blackwell got 60% of the royalties for Don't be cruel which is 3 millions dollars! Otis Blackwell said he got a good deal with Elvis and was happy with it! There's no way he would have said that if he only got 25 dollars for all his songs that Elvis recorded! which is impossible and dumb to believe it unless you're ignorant gullible you won't believe that utter nonsense of a lie!!

They did get the royalties for them Mr judge 😂😂😂😂😂😂

​​​​​​@@Mahale_Mel25 dollars for six songs that each sold over a million copies? It seems you failed math at school big time! 😂😂😂 You have to be ignorant to believe that nonsense of a lie! Otis Blackwell got 60% of the royalties for Don't be cruel which sold 5 millions copies that is equivalent to 3 million dollars of royalties for Otis Blackwell for Don't be cruel alone!!! For the six songs combined Otis Blackwell earned at least 6 million dollars s staggering amount that he never would have made had Elvis not recorded his songs. Also Otis Blackwell said he got a good deal with Elvis and was happy with it! There's no way he would have said that if it were true that he only got 25 dollars for all his songs that Elvis recorded! A complete lie an utter nonsense that ignorant envious people made up.

Dude let them play him big time

Yeah that called "entitlement". Listen, I'm not saying Elvis can't sing the music. What I'm saying is that in the US there is gross practice of low-melanated artists and record labels using deeply melanated Amercian artists music without proper compensation or recognition. Any artist of integrity from any ethnic background would appreciate that. Imagine you made music and was not credited for it while also having a your ethic group stigmatized. Kinda F'ed up, no?

Yeah. That's it. Unfortunately. IRig isn't bad it's just they created it around iPhone Software. I'm an Apple guy except when it comes to the phone. I'd rather buy a used Iphone just to use with social media.

I can see who you'd say that. Though I not the biggest Jay-Z business man fan, as an artist, this is exactly what I'd do with a label. As ppl who came up together, it seems petty.

You're right. Music business education was the point of this post.

Which white folks are you talking about? Jay, Dame and Biggs, put up their own money to fund the album.

I don't follow this comment. What are you trying to say.

I see you point. It's normal for artist to be rewarded with their masters after the copyright law is fulfilled. To you point, the snake stuff seems constant with things floating around about Jay's character.

It's called " Honey Type Drip" by Matty The Chef, Coop. This song 👉🏽 th-cam.com/video/8BLUJlGVFPs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1IBspcqs7lHJVHKX

Thanks @shamazmusic. I wish I knew it 20 years ago but even at 50 it will still be sounds advice. Bless. - Matty

Glad it was helpful! That was the goal - helpful to music creaitves, informative and entertaining a bit. Your feedback is well recieved. - Matty

Right, all those points you made are reasonable therefore confusing. Unless it has nothing to do with greed itsself but something deeper, don't get into chatty Kathy type stuff but folks closer to them two in the industry said ( and Dame himself) it's been a beef about Aaliyah. Jay and Dame were courting her at the same time - she vibed with Dame. You'd be surprised how many generational hood beefs started because of a woman and emotionally immature men.

Well well said. Thank you for articulating that point. Cock blocking is an understatement.

Thanks for clearing that up Dwayne 🫡

Exactly. And I've seen that friends who don't want to put standard business practices in place with you, that was a clear sign they lacked integrity AND deep down they didn't really believe in what both were working on. Contracts are always for if people disagree, agreements never need to be challenged.

Facts that’s what Nino Brown said 🤣🤣

How when at least one of the other two owners will have to sign on anything you do. And when the other two owners are Jay and Biggs… what kind of damage can you really do?

@@ArtisanWindchimes Heard Biggs sold his shares to Jay. Potential legal challenges and limited control aside. -Ownership of a lucrative music catalog and what comes along with that; revenue from royalties, licensing deals, and streaming. -Owning a piece of this legacy could be attractive from a branding and cultural standpoint. The buyer might explore opportunities for re-releasing classic albums, creating special editions, or capitalizing on anniversaries. Additionally, any unreleased material or future projects involving Roc-A-Fella artists could be monetized. -The buyer might explore opportunities for re-releasing classic albums, creating special editions, or capitalizing on anniversaries.

It's music business, ya noob. 🤷🏽‍♂️😭

@@mattythechefdc like I said “Rich People” you ain't got 10 mill. Stay in your bracket Joe.

​@@N7-wl7wewhy do you care? it's rich people's business and yet you stilll commented lmfao

Either way what you don’t understand is that Jay and Biggs would have to sign off on anything the new owner wants to do with it. Majority vote patna. And the majority is Jay and Biggs.

Correct. The chess move is making this info public for lay-people who have money and wanted to get 1/3 of the Reasonable Doubt. It's about the timing, which was the chess move. Jay super petty 🤣 But to Jay's point as a writer, he deserves what he's owed - that is is music rights. Now, I wonder if Biggie Estate still gets paid for the line Jay bit from BIG 🤔🫡

Exactly bro. It's all about how someone wants to use a products.

Either Jay or Biggs would have to sign off on any decisions. You forgot about the need for majority vote?

@@mattythechefdc does the new buyer gotta split the earnings wit jay z on any moves ???

Smart thinking! Sync licensing baby!

What?! 😭😭😭😭

You mean a snake?

No u can't jay has say so over what u can do with the masters so he will refuse it's worthless

@@romievtvandpublications5495what??? 😂😂😂 business don’t function in the moment; billionaires go broke and die all the time. You have no idea where he’ll be in 2-3 years that could be the best purchase someone could make. People act like they are invincible

50 cent!!! 😂

🎯 but you know what all people do on here is go against comments especially when they make sense. Either they’ll disagree or make a joke. What you said was true and if I was in hip hop I’ll buy it too.

It’s only 1/3 buddy. You would have to get Biggs to agree. Wishful thinking tho 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Good point. Whatever their beef is it's personal. The streets are saying it's over Aaliyah and how Jay Z was still affiliated with R kelly while Dame was with Aaliyah. Who knows, all I know is that group economics among Record Execs is on an all-time low.

Nobody cares about Dame. He ain’t got no bars. Make another HOV.

keeping what hot??? please be serious

Yes it does: lighting, USB C and a USB A cable.

@@mattythechefdc Thanks man stay blessed!

Who, Dame or Jay? Both are doing thier rhing in their own right. Definitely can't sleep on Dame because I guarantee his portfolio is better than yours and mine, fam. No disrespect 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@mattythechefdc dame fumble the ball period,he zero out making bad investments thinking he was to smart.Thoses lawyers who representative the person who sued dame done a financial search on him finding out he only own that one album wit no money in any bank accounts or any stocks.Unless he have stuff in peoples names.

Exactly.

Jay still owns 1/3. The other 1/3 is owned by Biggs. So whoever buys the other 1/3 will have to have either Jay or Biggs sign off on their decisions in order to have majority vote.

That is a good point. I'm curious to see what Dame does, if anything, to counter this blow .

Fill me in, too many players in these streets 🤣🤣

I think I know what you mean but elaborate when you can Michael. -Matty

@@mattythechefdc there is a group who owns a lot. Jay is signal boosting hoping that they won’t try and buy because they will tie him up in litigation and change the law and rules to ensure they win. So Jay is hoping to scare people away but they don’t scare easily.

@@michaelbell8627 Bullshit that’s not how the law works never happening

@@michaelbell8627u watch to many movies

Jay definitely gives petty vibes, but it is just business. Now, you comment have me a thought: what if the person who buys it for 1milly, actually can get some of the music into sync licensing during the 6 years time frame? That could pay some decent dividends if there isn't any red tape to get the music placed. 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️

Right.

That depends on the royalty that the album accumulate yearly. Considering the album is over 28 years old and it’s not fetching premium rates for royalties let’s say the album is doing 5k a year and you pay 100k for Dames 3rd then that means your cut is only $1,666.66 a year. Dame should’ve take the offer Jay made 2 years ago for his 3rd.

​@@polyverse1 Sounds like just in time for a 30th Year Anniversary🤷🏿‍♂️

That's definitely a way to look at it. If you've got some serious synch licensing connections, getting music the placed in just one big ad or whatever can pay extreme dividends. Whoever buys it probably has that in mind.

You can't lol jay at the top of the board he has refusal rights lol so you can license nothing with Jay and he will block which make this investment worthless..... Jay smart

Touche @cjjonez 🤷🏽‍♂️

These are standard copyright laws bro. Jay is the writer of the music

how?

@cjjonez are you serious?? He's screwed sooo many people. Dame, Cam, DMX...

I thought I was the only one e thinking that lol

Hard to disagree with you there. Business is business but your reputation lasts longer than your life or billions of dollars you made on earth 🌎 💯 -Matty

What did Jay do to X?

Some good points you played out. What's the moral lesson you see?

Appreciate the correction 👍🏽
