I don't think any artist would want to rap over a beat that samples a homersexual.
 
So I guess same goes to elton John and any other homo making hits lol,shouldn't matter on that really,A sample is a sample

I dunno I wouldn't mind hearing some Careless whisper sampled,That could be a good R&B Joint for the right artist,doesn't have to be all about rappin.

another artist who I know was against people sampling their work was the late James Brown. He was disgusted by rappers who sampled his grunts and shouts in their songs.
He may have been against it, but it still happened lol. Total - Can't You See ft. Biggie :cheers:

This makes me want to make a whole album using 'unclearable' samples just because they say i can't.
 
Another Hard one to get sampled cleared (I guess) is Elvis,I only heard that one Remix of Little less converstion that was done in 2000 I think.Only Elvis sample I've heard anyways.

Thats true but man...

What if that sampled song you make takes off and then learn you can't clear it for Commerial use?? far as you will go is soundclick,maybe a mixtape?

If it's that catchy, the corporation will pay for it to be cleared. A buzz in the street can do alot. . .
 
4. Tracy Chapman


Nice and Smooth sampled this...Sometimes I rhyme Slow...What happened with that?

The majority in hiphop don't care who you are or what you do if you make hot music.

R. Kelly molests little girls and pisses on them while recording it for his later review.

Michael Jackson is "worse" then a homosexual if he has homosexual desires with adolescent boys.

Prince just hasn't been caught up yet and put on blast. Come on look how dude dresses. he did get married to Manuela Testolini for a brief period but everyone knows that just because someone got married it don't mean they are not gay.

ANDRE3000, look at how he dresses. allot of hommies outfits make everyone question his preference. it's so obvious people start asking big boi on radio interviews about dre and if he is gay. i think he is metro sexual as hell but not gay. regardless you can't deny hot music.

Luther Vandross - he was gay and everyone knew it. it wasn't until he died that his friends started admitting he was a unhappily closeted homosexual. Everyone already knew and the last two generations have loved his music. name a rapper that wouldn't do a track with Luther if they would have had the chance.

anyways that's a lil off subject but i had to touch on it.

All artists i mentioned are great artists with strong following who don't care what they do off the mic. i don't think a self proclaimed gay rapper would make it mainstream but hiphop isnt above sampling a gay artist.

He was just confused at that time, he's made a big change in his life now last time I heard from him.

Probably the most weirdest fashion I ever saw. But, I think that's part of his post-Jimmi Hendrix and Gemni from the Ohio Players PHASE.

Luther Vandross - he was gay and everyone knew it. it wasn't until he died that his friends started admitting he was a unhappily closeted homosexual. Everyone already knew and the last two generations have loved his music. name a rapper that wouldn't do a track with Luther if they would have had the chance.

Honestly, there are a lot of things that artist I sample from do things I don't like or just hate. It's better if it isn't so noticeable then i'll sample them.

Pink Floyd unclearable? i've a billion remixes and remakes which use samples from the "Wall"...

Ye I think Eric Prydz version is the only one they agreed to, its the first time theyve allowed one of their tracks to be sampled from what I here

Thats a really narrow minded comment. At the end of the day, good music is good music, wether u choose to have sex with a sheep r whatever, it doesnt change the music.
 
I think that list might be for now because some of them you can't clear but some you can clear with the right agreement (100% Publishing)
