Replay Value:Why You Should Clear Your Samples

January 13, 2009

I love a great break as much the next guy but it’s not worth losing your shirt over. Rich Isaacson, one-half of Fuerte Music Group (and responsible for the success of early Loud Records artists like Big Pun, Mobb, Wu, Xzibit, Funk Flex and 36 Mafia) with his partner Jerry Blair talks here about how replaying samples won’t get you around a lawsuit. You have to make something completely new. Ask Easy Mo Bee.

I know that the whole world is in Biggie mode over the Notorious movie so before the holidays I caught up with Mr. Wallace’s first producer, Easy Mo Bee. I had a great talk with Mo Bee several years ago for that 10th Anniversary Biggie cover I wrote for The Source (where’s my money???) so I was happy that he was doing interviews again in advance of the film.

Of course I took advantage and got an hours worth of convo beyond the film drama (how you not gonna have Mo Bee involved in a movie about Biggie???). So I’m gonna do a whole week’s worth of Mo Bee clips cuz we spoke about the influence of Marley Marl, how he met Tupac, producing for the RZA, his first turntables and too much stuff for me to transcribe. Holla.
