She licensed it through all the proper legal channels. What exactly happened that negates Beyonce's claims of being for female empowerment and control of the creative process? How is sampling, a practice literally everyone in the industry does stealing? Have people gone completely insane in their hatred of Beyonce? And to dress themselves in black female empowerment to do it... unbelievable. Embarrassing for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelis is full of **** and yall are only hyping her cause she's malicious and bitter enough to publically hurt and shame the "goddess" Beyonce. She's trash for using Beyonces album as a vehicle for her beef with Pharrell. She has a linear credit on a interpolation that uses Pharrells production only. She called her a thief and dumb. This would not ne acceptable for any other :main pop girl" on this board. The things yall will do to see Bey maligned and sabotaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquiddiamonds Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 This is what happens when people are not given their flowers and are robbed in the industry. Kelis was a trendsetter. She suffered a lot commercially for refusing to enter any box plus her label was really stupid around Tasty when they dropped promo in the US past Milkshake. Homegirl was The Neptunes breakthrough as producers and the pop world ran with Kaleidoscope’s sound for the 2000s. Having said that, she used to be bitter towards Beyonce, but it came from a place of not feeling celebrated in the industry and thinkin she lifted from her. They were peers after all and only one of them is still on people’s radar. I don’t think Bey should’ve contacted her because they have shady history and the sample has been cleared and it’s unrecognizable, but I hope she get her flowers someday for being the trailblazer she was. FOOD was great, but she had a trip hop/house record scrapped around the same time and it would prove once again how ahead of the curve she’s always been.

Gui Blackout Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Given her lomg history of stealing credits, this is sadly not surprising It's why she's not respected as artist in the industry and by the Grammys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Kelis reinvented herself as an electropop diva for Flesh Tone and it gave her continued success in the UK and the EU, but it made no noise in the US. She dropped Bounce with Calvin Harris and it was also another hit for her and she got to tour with Robyn and promote her new record. She started to record her scrapped album a little before that in 2011 and it was supposed to be an acid, electro, rave type of album, working with producers from the UK, along with familiar names like Skream and Burns. She even premiered a UK Garage song called Distance on BBC that is on Youtube, not even in her official channel (at least not in my country). She was really in her Neneh Cherry bag on that one, but then it was radio silence and then an unexpected move to gastronomy. According to her wiki there was a conflict with one of the producers, but there’s very little about why she scrapped the album. Suddenly in 2014 she returned with FOOD, which was produced by David Sitek from Tv on the radio and released on his label, but a complete 180 sonically: a warm album tht mixed 70s afrobeat with hints of 60s and 70s Soul Music. It is a great album, but it kinda killed her momentum in the UK and one can only wonder how it would have been had she dropped the electro album instead.

I became familiar with her work (and a fan) during Flesh Tone and was super engaged in her career during that time, but then yeah it was radio silence, and then came Food, which yes is a good album, but I remember feeling it was a kinda weird reinvention after FT. I had absolutely no idea about this scrapped album (what could have been!), not even this Distance song (gonna listen). I gave up expecting new music from her lol, but it was nice to know all that!

Kassi Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 All this drama over a DRUM LOOP? Can we get serious people? I mean c’mon, like what are we doing here? I was empathetic with Kelis till I found out this is what all of the hullabaloo is over. This is probably the stupidest industry conflict I’ve ever heard. And I hope Beyoncé never calls. Cause wtf she gonna do? Call all of the artists who’s beats her producers sample? Even typing that out sounds ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
