Beyonnaise Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If this heavily litigous climate in the music industry continues you're gonna see more of this -- editing of music millions of people are already listening to (and that hundreds of thousands have hard copies of that can still be accessed or pirated) It's so dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Just now, James_Dean said: She wasn't it's all going to Pharrell I've literally already clarified this for you. Kelis was given an additional credit on the song (despite not owning any of "Milkshake") so that she'd receive royalties. This credit has now been removed.

BnPac Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 2 minutes ago, James_Dean said: She wasn't it's all going to Pharrell But Pharrell wrote the song, Beyoncé can not give Kelis a credit on a song when she's not listed as a writer or in publishing. That's not an excuse that Beyoncé can resolve. What kind of argument is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-esper Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 7 minutes ago, MrLovett said: 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.

Shelter Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I think it might be false? They are still credited on Spotify Edited August 2, 2022 by Shelter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustHoran Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 23 minutes ago, MrLovett said: I guess Kelis returns to making no money from her song. Kelis wasn't making ANYTHING off the song, but newsflash to Beyonce she still has to pay up because it remains on the CD's that are in stores and have already been sold. Hopefully Kelis still sues.

Gui Blackout Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 5 minutes ago, MrLovett said: No, Beyoncé had given Kelis an additional credit on ENERGY (despite Kelis not owning any of "Milkshake") specifically so that she would make royalties. Robin S. wasn't given a credit on BMS. It's not the same. That credit is meaningless, the royalties still go to Pharrell and Chad only because they're still the only credited songwriters of the song and royalties from samples go to the songwriters. And again, Kelis never wanted Beyonce to cut her a check, it was never about money. It was about respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheromosa Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I think she just removed Kelis’ performer credit because the song still sounds the same which would be HILARIOUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreajae Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Good. Now she and her sister can stop harassing and taunting Beyonce through their business pages and the urban blogsphere. If she continues, she'll look even more foolish and will officially **** her bag. No one with sense will ever take her side on this. Everyone in the industry knows that song was meant for Britney and it went to her cause she didn't want it. She did not write or produce that song. So the anger over the sample was misplaced.

Planet Mars Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 1. It was the worst song on the album 2. It sounds almost exactly the same 3. This controversy only helped to drive interest in the record. The energy outro did help me appreciate BMS more though, the future #1 hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
