I was reading a thread earlier and a kid was talking about how to clear a sample and when to clear a sample. I mentioned something about replaying a sample or song, and not having to pay the owner or publishing company. I wasnt sure if this was true, but then I just read that Lupe article and he mentioned....
“We reached out to Pete in November, right? My team. It was my partner’s idea,” Lupe explained. “He wanted to go back, take an iconic Hip Hop record, flip it, breathe some life into it, and bring it back to new school. That’s the whole point of it so we reached out to Pete…When we rap over the original instrumental we send it to get cleared, Warner Chapel tells us ‘No, that’s the publishing company.’ They tell us ‘You can’t clear that. It’s unclearable.’ There’s portions of that song that have never been cleared before ever. You have to remake it.”

Is it that simple? Can you just replay a song and not have to pay for publishing? And when I say simple I mean as for the legal side, not the instrumentation.
