Part 2: • Vanilla Ice on Being 1...
Part 4: • Vanilla Ice: Suge Knig...
--------
In this clip, Vanilla Ice discussed the intersection of music, sampling and legalities, sharing that many people don't understand that hip hop and sampling had existed long before his iconic song, "Ice, Ice Baby." He recognized the significant part sampling plays in hip hop and noted that despite lawsuits in pursuit of sampling clearances, artists still practice it - sometimes illegally. He pointed to the creation of an entire building in New York City for the clearance of his record, a testament to its immense popularity. Vanilla Ice also mentioned that instead of facing a lawsuit for using a sample from "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, he opted to buy the song, owing to the costs of the legal process and the potential profits that could ensue from the purchase. He endorsed the importance of understanding and managing publishing rights and highlighted the financial successes attached to owning publishing rights for enduringly popular music like Elvis or The Beatles.

RIAA says Ice ice baby only sold 1 million, total, ever.

There’s goes ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding. That’s how theirs goes. Ours go ding ding ding ding TUH ding ding ding ding. It’s not the same!
So Vanilla Ice was right and wrong. Michael did buy Beatles music and also owned half of Sony music which was Eminem, Beyoncé, bjork , beck, etc. (He bought Eminems publishing after Em dissed MJ and MJ got Ems video pulled down.) And MJ owned his own music…..bought Beatles for 45 million……BUT after MJ passed a few years later his estate SOLD his half of Sony back to Sony for 850 MILLION! 600% profit. But they (the MJ estate) kept the publishing of Michael’s music. That ATV catalogue is worth 1.5 to 2 Billion now. Michael Jackson estate has made about 2.5billion since his death
@@legendsflashback look at the worldwide sales
I love the old clip of Vanilla Ice trying to explain how his beat is different from the "under pressure" sample.
I remember that 😂
There’s goes Dun dun dun dada dun dun mine goes dun dun dun dada dun …. Dun
That clip is iconic🤣🤣
@@augormasterson9312I thought it was just me that thought it was hilarious
He said that it was different because of the tist of high hat. Hilarious lmao.
As a music artist, this man just dropped crazy gems!!!
Lmao he dropped one gem
One HUGE CLASSIC gem
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Play that funky music whiteboy!
Metallica created their own record label because of this.
@@gumborambo4540 If you own a record label, you may also function as the publisher, but it's not automatically the case.
Vanilla dropping DIAMONDS of information to the young minds out there. So happy to see him reaching legend status as a rapper and also getting to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
He was said to always be good with his money, and it definitely shows.
😂😂😂😂
Yes he teaches everybody to lie cheat and steal
How can a one hit wonder be a legend?
@@LillyRose924 2 Hit wonder. Ninja Rap was a certified hit as well… Regardless, the magnitude of your achievements considers you a legend. Like it or not, Vanilla Ice and the other one hit wonder, MC Hammer, are responsible for rap breaking into the mainstream.
I’m so glad Rob was smart enough to see how the industry plays the artists.I’m glad he still has his money and is making money.I hope he has a great life,he left his mark!
Johnnyhotrod calling vanilla ice by his government name like you on a first name basis you crazy
@@Dirtmcgirt22 Stealing ODB’s alter is wack.Governments name is a number,his birth name is legit.
I wonder if Suge stills gets a percentage of his publishing of not?
@@DavidSmith-qf3sm Probably not Suge at this point-I’m sure he was forced to sell most if not all of the publishing rights and points during the legal battle.
Can’t be sure but can probably find out easy enough.
@@Dirtmcgirt22A lot of us know him as Rob.
All jokes aside, Van Winkle looks like he's taking good care of himself.
You know this actually a great interview. I was expecting the guy to have fallen on hard times, gone broke, and not have his head on straight. Complete opposite props to him
I remember talking to a friend of mine years ago, probably early 2000s, and wondering what happened to Vanilla Ice. He said had had made a lot of money and managed it well. Seems like he continued to do that.
@@FormulaJRay He definitely had to have managed it well seeing as his window was so short. He was popping raking in dough at his height probably from about 89' to 92' so he had to have managed the millions he made in those 4 short years well
Even without music, Ice has been eating good from the property game.
weird i thought the story was he owned a bicycle shop.
He owns a construction company in Florida. He's doing very well.
He's literally dropping jewels, most people don't understand the business.
Big respect for Vanilla Ice. He was an actual rapper before they sold him out. I saw him live once. He was really good.
I saw him live once too at "Fox And Friends" along with Rob Base. At the last minute they threw Rob Base in there though, it was originally supposed to be Vanilla Ice along with Salt N Pepa but something happened with Salt N Pepa so to replace them they threw in Rob Base. I have to say though that Vanilla Ice was surprisingly good😲 I was never a Vanilla Ice fan or even a Rob Base fan but I have to say that Vanilla Ice was pretty damn good😁👍 It was weird though who he had as a DJ🤔 The DJ had really racist nick name and he was Chinese, they called him "DJ chopsticks"🤔 That's like bringing him out and calling him "DJ pork fried rice"🤔
Always been a fan of Vanilla Ice he’s giving everybody a crash course on how the music business works that’s why he has not gone broke and he is a very wealthy man to this day.
and when he said 'who owns the Ol' D B publishing?", I knew he was a real hiphop head to his core.
Plus me making extra in real estate
He didn't get wealthy because he studied music. He got wealthy cuz he pivot and also invested his money in other things and learnt new things . Unlike ur favorite rapper who waste his money on h0es and stupid chains and teeth
You’ve always been a fan of Vanilla Ice? 😂
@@stevienguyen2047 yeah lol He was legit
I never understood why Eminem dissed him in a song. Vanilla Ice is and remains a legendary hip-hop artist.
It was cool to diss Vanilla Ice... just like Hammer. They were everybody's favorite punching bags. Hammer pulled up, though. He approached everyone who dissed him and made them apologize.
Because Eminems plan when he came out was to separate himself from other white rappers because at that particular time white rappers were considered corny. That's also why he attacked so many pop stars. To separate himself.
@@everett8811 Ironically his music is cornier than all the popstars he dissed.
@@sleepingeagle916yup. lol
Eminem named dropped more than the game
David Bowie has talked about this before... David only wanted to be credited, but Ice and his team claimed it wasn't their record. So he was sued.
I love it! Sued his pants off
Hip hop was built off of sampling, it literally especially in the 80’s and 90’s wouldn’t have existed without sampling, most of the hit rap songs from the 80’s and 90’s were samples of hit songs from the 60’s and 70’s I’ve always been amazed how all those rappers got away with it???
I had Vanilla Ice's album with the song Ice Ice Baby on it when I was a kid. Loved listening to that album when I was a kid, had it on cassette tape.
I remember when Ice Ice Baby came out. All the hip hop bands like 3rd Base were attacking him for being a sell out. He's gotten so much crap from everyone, but he's done well for himself. More power to him.
True, but some of that crap he brought on himself
I like him because he's real
To be honest, I underestimated Vanilla Ice fo rmany years. Now I can see his brilliant work ethic and his growing sense as a business man. much love!
This guy has kept his shit together after all these years. Respect !
Awesome interview and shout out to vanilla ice for all of the awesome info about what he learned about publishing and the game of life.
Vanilla Ice doesn't look like he's aging
No cap for white guy,he's holdin up pretty good.
@@marcusbrown6025 I can clearly see that he's wearing a cap.
@@jct903classic one 😂
What do you mean he's not aging? He looks old now, he got the lizard throat going on ,blind.
@@marcusbrown6025no idea how genetics work and how much your diet and lifestyle effect your aging process.
I'm not holding it against him, but the funniest video ever is him at the time telling MTV News that the songs are totally different. "Theirs is dun dun dun chucka dun dun...and mine is dun dun dun....chucka dun dun. See? Totally different?"
Aye I’m black and even I can say “Queen is a legendary rock band”
And that’s on some real N***a s**t
well...rock comes from black people so............
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yay I’m black and I like Metallica!! Give me a cookie 🙄
Corny
@@dn30001yeah just say every music came from black people bro..
@@GuillermoSiller-x2u i wouldnt say all music (we didnt come up with Yodeling😂) ..but ANY popular music basically came from black americans
This guy’s legacy is way deeper than Hip Hop when you bring into context the commercial impact he had on the industry/media, just him being a curious kid experimenting with sound changed not only the music landscape but also how we view intellectual property forever…Truly legendary!
No. It’s not. What a truly ridiculous statement.
Mc hammer came first then Vanilla Ice I call it paying homage to what was already invented
@@gottliebdee263 Your missing the point "the commercial Impact" guys like him are multi millionaires, not because of one song but because he went deep into the business past the music and made sound investments once he had his financial estate to self finance other ventures that would also capitalize on more financial investments, you think the late great James William Buffett (Jimmy Buffet) became a multimillionaire almost a billionaire before he passed because of Margaritaville, think again, intellectual property, can finance physical property and bank roll them for life, and I can name a dozen artist who had number hits who are flat broke or half self terminated. Just look at the other comment on this thread regarding MC Hammer he went broke.
He was the bridge for rap to enter white culture
@@gottliebdee263how old are you?
People make fun & knock Vanilla Ice but he’s a smart guy
He got tricked into saling his publishing for his biggest record ya he's a genius
@@BelieveInSelf666still a millionaire to this day
@@BelieveInSelf666I guess you missed the part where he got the publishing back.
@@BelieveInSelf666 did you not watch the video? he owns the publishing for Ice Ice Baby AND Under Pressure
He bought a great song! And he's getting paid for it, to this day. Ice, Ice, Baby...🤣🤣🤣
@OGM03 what?
Dude has aged well. That was over 30yrs ago and he still pretty much looks the same.
@OGM03nah. the original is fine and doesnt need any help
Dis comment was lame lol what are 12
Queen disputes this.
Eh Sheeran won his lawsuit. Wonder what they’re talking about?
This is actually a good interview
All these years, I had no idea he bought the rights to that song and actually does make money from it. Fair play
What he said about Michael Jackson having his publishing together. Facts!!! That's why he's the King Of Pop. People get caught up with the soft voice, the incredible vocalist, the dynamic dancing, the impeccable shows. They tend to forget how savvy he was with his business choices. He was calculated. Had a great team of people who he put to work. He usurped the business with his pubishing game. He zoned in on that. Once he discovered the key to his generation wealth. He went for it. He did records for his following. He didn't have to anymore. But, he did. But, the publishing game. Michael went in deep. The King Of Pop. Hands Down!!
Jackson went one step further and own half of Sony music, he really was a burden to them, for this fact alone.
@@DavidSmith-qf3sm absolutely did own half a Sony. The Thriller album made billions for Sony. The music was integral for the business. Like dude mentioned. He owned his catalogue as well. Even got a good share of the goods on sales. It's tit for tat. But, he zoned in. To help people. You have to have that bag. He understood that. Can't take the money with you.
Didn’t have to go and get The Beatles publishing though did he 😂 or at least could have and then done a deal with Paul McCartney or something, I feel like if that was reversed Paul McCartney would be regularly demonised for it
@@kJ922-h3j no he wouldn't. Paul was to slow. You slow, You blew
And now he’s dead and he can’t take it with him.
😭😭😭😭 dude is a genius i never expected this interview much needed
He is very informed and entertaining.
The Freddy mercury and David bowie track is absolutely amazing and to sample it as a hip hop artist is even more dope. One of the greatest samples ever honestly. Tupac got mad dope samples
Yep bruce springsteen
@@demri123Pac sampled Bruce Springsteen?
Queen and David Bowie did an amazing collaboration of an original song. That's rare under those circumstances.
@user-er3ri6sc3j mot really when yoi have the degree kf creativity that Bowie as well as May, Mercury and the other Queen guys.
@@raoulduke344 You have a good point. They were really under pressure to not create a bomb.
This guy is smart. He changed the game of music. Behind the scenes
Super value packed vid. Vlad is at his best when he’s not talking.
Michael Jackson doesn’t own the Beatles publishing anymore. Sony does.
Ice had Vlad doing handstands twerking and calling himself a B Boy back in the day. 🫅🏼 king shit real legend
Shoutout vanilla ice 🧊 for the game on publishing
He Forgot About De La Soul. 3 feet high and rising came out in 1989 a year before, but Holy Crap, Einstein move to buy the rights!! Kudos! Biggest Sampler was Led Zeppelin though. Look it up!
Vanilla ice will get paid forever his house in the background nice 🔥🔥🔥
Plus making more from real estate
Michael Jackson owns all his publishing and The Beetles publishing =💉💀
Paul M. bought his stuff back while MJ was on trial for diddling kids.
You can tell this guy is a great business men and i thought he was broke🤣🤣🤣
Vanilla Ice is a genius….making hundreds of millions off of “under pressure”
He is absolutely full of it, adding a few zeroes on every figure he gives. The guy is worth $12million, so where did all those hundreds of millions go?
Vanilla ice and Mc Hammer might have sold more records than LL Cool J and Rakim Krs One Ice Cube, but does that mean there better? No! It’s a marketing thing thats what some of these White executives were doing, Plus these guys were appealing to a white audience like Marky mark young Mc, PM dawn. Wack artist but I gotta give it up for them paving the way and helping pushing the culture to survive
Vanilla ice dropping gems on this interview!! My ears are wide open!!
The moment you realize, Vanilla Ice is smarter than most of the humans in the music industry. Sure, he made some mistakes, but like he explained, that was new back then, the rules weren't fully established.
TERRANCE OUT
Afrika Bambaata, his first hit Planet Rock in the early 80's, was a straight lift of Kraftwerk trans euro express
But it wasn't a sample
they came to an arrangement with Kraftwerk where they would receive $1 for every record sold and later Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk would do remixes for Bambaata@@bigolbabyhuey
I really wish Michael Jackson never bought the beatles publishing ... he would probably be still alive today ... miss you mike
That publishing kept him afloat and with a high net worth even when he was in debt.
I just looked up the publishing for Under Pressure and Robs name or pub company is not on it so that means he did not buy the songs publishing smh David Bowie and Freddys name is on Ice Ice Baby tho of course because Rob sampled the song.
Yes, he owns a co-share of Ice Ice Baby but owns nothing of Under Pressure.
There's a difference between sampling and remaking a song with the band in it.
Legendary interview abt sampling
That’s not Vanilla Ice. That’s Robert Van Winkle.
Why did you change it? Nothin ryhmes with Winkle. (Jim Carrey on In Living Colour)
@@tvman7916 yoooo😂 good call!!!
"You see cause theirs went ding ding ding da da ding ding, and ours went ding, ding, ding, da da ding ding Ss, ding ding ding da da ding ding"
A VI, quote. 😂
"...but it's made me HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS!" Just googled the guy. He's worth 12 million 😂. Don't you just love rappers.
🤣🤣🤣
Why did we all think Ice was broke lol dudes got mad money
The interview where Vanilla Ice is describing the difference between Ice Ice Baby and Queen/David Bowie's "Under Pressure" hurt his career and turned Ice into a joke.
Yeah I don't think they had a lot of media training back then, so artists would get on TV and say all kinds of messed up things. Looking back at a lot of bands and artists interviews from like 1991 it's so cringey the things they'd say on the late shows or interviews.
@@snowbear163 theirs goes dumdumdumdumbadumdum and mine goes dumdumdumadum dum
That had nothing to do with his career. The song was a hit. The rest was trash
Once gangster rap and grunge metal became popular in the early 90's. Most old school rap became cheesy. That is what hurt 80's rappers careers.
Nah, Vanilla's career turned into a joke when it was discovered that he was perpetrating a fraud, which was lying about being a street dude from Miami. Then he dissed Kid N' Play out of the blue, like that was supposed to give him props and the hip hop crowd wasn't having that. Yeah, Kid N' Play were bubblegum rappers, but leave them alone. You're just a GUEST in hip hop, Vanilla... you don't have a pass to touch them. That was the sentiment back then.
At least we got 😂Paul’s boutique before Robert Van Winkle alerted the sample police.
Such a wise, well spoken man. Vanilla ❤
I met Vanilla Ice a few years ago when he performed at Insane Clown Posse's annual hallowicked concert in Detroit, Michigan
MC Serch was correct when they said that Vanilla Ice stole took the black fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha chant, which was made YEARS ago: "Ice Ice Baby....too cold too cold....Ice ice baby....the black and gold"
Of course it's to fly
He took inspiration off the rhythm for the hook. Why is everything in the wrap referred to stolen? Everything is stolen to the rap community. The same community, that samples music from all different genres. Or, as the community called it, “steals” music from all genres.
@@tristinhall1275 as much sampling laws as they have now? And as much as people paid for it??? GTFOH. And did he (Vanilla Ice) pay anything to Alpha Phi Alpha in return? A shout out even?? Well then....
Naw your not the first to crossover
RUN D MC was .
NAW YOUR generation was not the first in HIP HOP unless you were born in the 60's .
He likes to exaggerate the truth.
RUN DMC was the first rap group to crossover and have mainstream success, no doubt. But Ice Ice Baby was #1 on the billboard charts for 4 months. It was pop music.
@@seanfrank32 you do know POP is a mix genre ?
@@WormdrivE66 yes he does.
He was , Oct 31, 1967.
Its amazing to watch an artist show you what they have learned in life and what is important.
0:38 epmd was NOT out 10 years before 1990, Ice. 😂
The music industry royalty system is so freakin complex. Publishing splits, mechanicals, sync rights, ugh. By comparison real estate and most other businesses are way more straightforward. It seems deliberately complicated so as to overwhelm musicians into signing whatever is put in front of them and getting the short end of the stick
Damn Vanilla ice knows his stuff. This should be a message to all upcoming artists
I grew up with his music and these interviews have been great to watch. Later in life as a bouncer, I was able to do his security detail twice at the bar where I worked and I can tell you he is one the most stand-up people I have ever met! As always, respect to Ice! 💯💯💯
We need a documentary narrated by vanilla ice about record labels and contracts and publishing
Ice tried to explain the difference between his song and under pressure, And there is no difference.
You're right. The lyrics are identical.
Ice trying to explain being caught with hand in bag (ding) ding ding ding ding ding ding ding 😆😆
Sugar Hill Gang started by using the song “Good Times”, into “Rappers Delight”! Great music
Cool guy, love this interview
Well of course he got Sued . He ripped off those 2 Stars
But at least Vanilla Ice learned how publishing works and VOILA !
Many bands today have no EFFN' clue on the Music Business
One of the problems when the lawsuit came out, Ice denied using any samples, he even tried to explain how the sample sound different between the two. It took someone from inside to say, “yes it’s the same” for him finally to admitted it. Sampling wasn’t a big deal” back then especially for hip hop so mixing etc, unless of course you become huge.
Queen’s version goes “dun dun dun dundadun dun” but Mr. Ice’s song goes “dun dun dunaduna dun dun”. Different.
When you're fighting in court, you can't be admitting to the thing they are accusing you of in public.
@@joojoobawlol😅😂
@@joojoobaw
i remember that interview on MTV about it lol, good times
Facts
This guy is smart!!!! Yall better stop sleeping on Vanilla Ice Cream. This was FIRE.🔥
This business is a piece of work. I was a huge Queen and David Bowie fan and I felt proud that it was sampled like that.
Show business. Hand in hand.
Paul McCartney also owns the publishing rates for Buddy Holly and Paul McCartney owns some college music like their theme songs I remember when Paul McCartney told Michael Jackson about getting into publishing music publishing Paul talked to a Yoko and I think Paul want to be 10 million or 20 million for the Beatles publishing catalog play Yoko thought they could get it much less then Michael Jackson outbid both of them even though Paul and Yoko were together Michael don't own all the Beatles publishing Paul owns like a handful of songs and I think George own but the majority is owned by Michael
Lol vanilla ice was the first white boy to be blackballed , our people lowkey out of pocket 😂😂😂
We know n dam well “Queen” ain’t give a F**k
He still 🙈 cool to me ❤
my main issue is RIAA. It states play phunky the a side with beside of ice ice sold 2 million. 1990 reissue ice ice sold 1 million. 2005 xray re release 0.5 million. To the Xtreme 7 million. It didn't even sell 10 million or diamond yet, ever. Yet ice says "it sold a million a day then". No it didn't. RIAA has ALL reciepts.
I always lol'd at how shameless Ice Ice Baby generously sampled a big hit song by two giant artists and nobody assumed they'd rightfully sue for a cut.
Hip-hop just wasn’t that big or that reliant on samples before 1990.
We're talking about David Bowie & Queen, so I take issue with Vlad implying that it was just about the money -- I mean, obviously they deserved a huge cut though It was the fact that Ice (and/or his label) initially DENIED that it was even a sample when called out or asked about it
Not a dumb guy. At.All.
No body, and I mean NO BODY thinks you're the first poser to sample an existing hit to make a shitty rap song. MC Hammer's Can't Touch This was the first to show how easy it was to take a hook and recycle it for a bunch of people who may have never heard the original song.
My guy talking like Michael still alive
Maybe he is?
I like Vanilla Ice but he isnt making 100's of millions or sold 160 million records. He perhaps embellishes unknowingly or he isnt good with numbers 🙂. Still a legend though.
Eminem was always a punk for dissing Ice. He's always been a legend and paved the way for all white rappers. Eminem should've been kissing his ass. At least ICP appreciated Ice
Vanilla Ice can't help but tell non-truths. He wasn't the first to cross over by a long shot. RUN DMC with walk this way. Salt & Pepper with Push it. The Beastie Boys sold 4 million records because it was a cross over success. The Sugar Hill Gang's Rappers Delight was a cross over hit. The Beastie Boys were the first ro be taking to court over sampling.He also said EPMD was sampling before him a decade earlier when it was actually 2 years before his debut album came out. The Sample clearance building built just because of him is also a lie .
😂 vanilla ice song was the first rap song to go number one on billboard. Tf you talking about? Thats crossing over.
@@flame984 a crossover hit doesn't have to be a number one hit
I'm pretty sure Aerosmith gave RUNDMC permission to "sample" Walk This Way or were at least cool with it eventually. Aerosmith was IN the music video of the song. Honestly, you can't even call RUNDMC's Walk This Way a "sample". It's more a hip hop cover of the song.
This is around the time of when The Turtles sued De La Soul for a sample in “Transmitting Live From Mars” and won. That changed the game completely. So Ice is incorrect that he’s the cause of sample clearance.
Nah, Vanilla Ice was sued in 1990, De La Soul was sued in 1991.
@@ransom6892 The suit started in 1989 and was settled in 1991.
@@michaelaker1621 Ok, I can believe that. However: “R&B performer Jimmy Castor sued the Beastie Boys in federal court in New York in 1987 for the Beasties' unauthorized use of Castor's song.” So who’s to say who changed the game. Vanilla Ice did say they built a building after his case though 😂
Why didn’t you call him out that Vanilla claimed that his beat from Ice Ice Baby was totally different than Queen’s song. He’s on record saying this.
Good. I love when people are exposed to how publishing and masters works. Keep that shit. Don’t sign it away so someone like Vlad can get their hands on it.
Wonder if they’ll ever make publishing for TH-cam videos
Exactly and Vanilla Ice was smart enough to know that that’s why he bought this song And he’s right 100% they are artist still today making millions off of sampling other peoples music which I’m not hating on but it just makes you wonder why a lot of artists are not going after them to get their bread

He's at home chillin, Suge is headed to chow, Mario lives with his momma nem. Kids pay attention! Its not about being hard!
You damn right you got sued! What did he think was gonna happen?!!!
He only sampled.
@@rtz549still neeed clearance my boi 😂
Cant be using people work without asking or paying
@@rtz549someone else work Eitherway
This was back when everyone in Hip-Hop used samples and no one got sued. It’s not that crazy for him to think that he wouldn’t.
Sampling? Should be writing a check to John Deacon. He’s the guy who came up with the riff.
Vlad not getting a word in 😂😂😂
So McCartney wasn’t successful in buying Beatles publishing? I thought he eventually got it ?
Rappers delight was a sample. Nobody but Ice and Vladimir thought he was the 1st rapper to use a sample
Neither one of them said nor thought that.
Rapper's Delight was not a sample, it was an interpolation. Studio musicians played the music on that song
@@bigolbabyhueyif you know you know.
Except they actually talk about how hip hop used samples way before him..

I'd pay alot of money to have that 1992 wedding VHS of me at 6 years old tearing up the dance floor to Ice Baby at mu Uncles wedding lmao.
Publishing is serious stuff. reasons like this is why Daz is going to war with snoop and death row right now over old songs,I guess
Well if u get permission to sample then u have those issues all the other rap artists wer smart enuf to get permission and they didn’t get sued
Good point. More lies🤣
That bullshit excuse he gave back in the day about how the dings are different...🤦
I hate this guy’s music, but he seems like he’d be a decent dude to have over to the house to play Catan.
Epmd came out in 1987.. he came out in 1989..stop Cappin!!!!
Biz Markey was the first Hip Hop artist to get sued for sampling.
