Jay Tee & B-12 contacted me in regards to this situation...
RUSH RUSH (JAY TEE BULLET TODD G & ARJAY) I paid Jay Tee for the song which was supposed to be used on a bullet project. I put it on the todd g album that i put on my label in 2003. This song was never used or sold to any other album.
LAST NIGHT (JAY TEE BULLET FROST ARJAY & JUICE) originally i paid jay tee and frost to do the song, later i sold the song to juice, added him to the song and put it on the Juice album, and the bullet can i go? release that i put out earlier this year on my label.
We ride hot cuzzin (frost, jay tee messy marv bullet) in 2001 i put this song on a compilation titled "Guilty til proven innocent" without contacting the other artists involved for permission. The song wasn't sold.
On the road again (Baby Bash, bullet, todd g texas t juice & jazz) This song was used and sold without permission or clearance from bash.
I PAID MAC DRE TO GET ON MY ALBUM, THE SONG IS TITLED 3000 AND CAN BE HEARD ON THE RE RELEASE OF WE GETZ PERVED... THE SONG IS NOT ON ANY OTHER ALBUM AND HAS NOT BEEN SOLD.
I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT I'M IN THE PROCESS OF RECTIFYING THE SITUATION WITH THE ARTISTS SO THAT THEY ARE COMPENSATED FOR THE ALBUMS THAT THEY ARE ON THAT THEY DIDN'T GET PAID TO BE ON. iF ANYBODY WHO IS INVOLVED NEEDS TO CONTACT ME,
[email protected]
I WILL REPLY TO THOSE INVOLVED AND CLEAR UP THIS SITUATION, BUT AM NOT GONNA REPLY TO POSTS MADE ON FORUMS.
MY APOLOGIES
BULLET
ps. TO ANYBODY UN AWARE OF PERMISSION/CLEARANCES AND PAYING SOMEBODY FOR A VERSE AND WHAT THE RULES ARE... HERE ARE A FEW NOTES.
1. IF YOU PAY SOMEBODY TO RAP ON YOUR ALBUM, AT NO TIME CAN THE SONG BE GIVEN OR SOLD TO ANOTHER MAN FOR HIS COMPILATION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ALL ARTISTS INVOLVED WITH THE SONG.
NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE DONE THIS OVER AND OVER IN THE RAP GAME.
2. YOU CANNOT BUY A VERSE EVEN IF YOU OWN A LABEL AND USE IT ON ONE OF YOUR OTHER ARTISTS ALBUM WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE ARTIST YOU BOUGHT THE VERSE FROM.
SO WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS IS THAT IF YOU BUY A VERSE YOU DO NOT OWN THAT VERSE, YOU ARE BASICALLY PAYING FOR THE CLEARANCE TO USE THAT VERSE ON YOUR PROJECT, HOWEVER THIS CLEARANCE PERTAINS TO THE ARTIST... IF THEY ARE ON A RECORD LABEL YOU MUST ALSO GET CLEARANCE FROM THEM AS WELL.
