Lovett Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 I guess Kelis returns to making no money from her song.
Alex Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 congrats on ruining an already terrible song we will be using the Kelis version!

XtinaStripped Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Well I guess that’s one way to solve it… I hate that it’s acceptable for albums to just get Kanye’d now.

HeavyMetalAura Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Welp. I think Kelis was ridiculous to make such a big deal out of this if she didn’t hold the rights to it - you seek permission from those who hold the rights. It sucks that she and many artists don’t own their own music, but that’s not Bey’s fault. Re: the song making no money, Milkshake probably makes more in residuals as a classic ‘00s hit than any album track from Renaissance will this year. And that’s not shade, that’s just the truth from someone who studies the industry. A classic hit with a classic line like “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard” makes way more bank than album tracks. But if Kelis didn’t own the rights to it to begin with, she wouldn’t have made anything off of ENERGY.

CrimsonX Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 The song sounds the same still? what do they mean when they say the sample was removed? Is it going to change how the song sounds?

Beyoncé had credited her on ENERGY, specifically so that she would receive royalties. Then she reacted as she did and now she's back to getting nothing again.

Is it going to change how the song sounds? It was a minor drum beat that was sampled. This has now been removed from the version on all streaming services. The sample was so minor that it's not even noticeable, which is the biggest kii of this whole situation.

Now she's back to making nothing. No the money is going to Pharrell and Chad because she's not credited in the songwriting (again, her point). It's the same case as Robin S

Robin S. wasn't given a credit on BMS. It's not the same.

Kelis was mad because she didn't get a call from Bey and thought it was stealing, lack of soul and passive-aggressive to sample her song so now the issue is resolved. We can all move on.
