DJs in the club do not need permission do they? I understand the idea, but some artists are ridiculous about the permission either holding out on ego trips or for excessive payments.. the artists are forgetting that a sample is advertising is my point.
Blues is just like reggae.. all the blues tunes are 'standards' like the reggae riddims, but the blues artists don't sue each other over control of the chord progressions or scales, they are just 'standards' but they did not start out that way did they? Initially they were somebody's original creation just like Sly and Robbie and China Smith's Gunman riddim is has become a universal standard for reggae artists..
perhaps artists should not be so uptight with their tunes, because sharing it can give creation to new art, and wouldn't you want to be the main influence or origin of the birth of new art forms?
