Here is the story: Kanye asked Syl or Syl's label to use this for MBDTF. Syl said no thank you. Then Good Fridays dropped and Pete Rock sampled it on "The Joy" which is a good friday track, Syl still said nothing, then it was added to WTT bonus version and then Syl is all like bitch I said no but I AM HERE LISTENING TO SYL BECAUSE OF KANYE SYL SHOULD BE GRATEFUL! +This song is bleh.
@RedSeaAries no Kanye asked Syl to use this on MBDTF he said no you cant use it.... they still did but not on MBDTF but on GOOD Fridays gbut then it was a bonus to WTT thats when syl was like bitch i said no, but its all good sitll.
If Kwame managed to use this in "Only You" back in the 90s with no problem, then I would think Jay-Z and Kanye could get it together to get this man his money.
Pete Rock did produce the song The Joy but it was also Kayne's responsibility to clear the sample clearance he was Executive Producer to the album....Just like when DJ Quik produced So Addictive by Truth Hurts, Dr Dre got sued for now clearing the sample clearance...look at WorldStarHipHop on Syl Johnson explaining his lawsuit....RZA also used this song for the Wu Tang Shame On A Nigga song
@larry89 It was actually the both of them. Pete rock layed a beat, kanye added the intermittent samples. How can you sit there and say Pete Rock singlehandedly produced that whole track. he laid a foundation, that kanye put influence on as well. give credit where credit is due.
And by the way, I'm not some crazy Jay-Z/Kanye West fan that's making excuses for them. I stated the previous comment because I'm standing up for producers, song writers and musicians that face this problem on a more consistent basis outside of Jay-Z and Kanye West.
Don't get me wrong, I do think they should pay him for the sample. But what's crazy is that the media and what not ran with this story acting like this is the first time someone has sampled someone's likeness. There are waaaay more cases where music has been sampled, down right stolen, and used without permission prior to a release of a song. Oh wait, since it was on Watch the Throne this is a MAJOR story now. Whatever.
Hut one hut two hut three hut!!! Old Dirty Bastard live and uncut! / Styles unbreakable shatter proof for the young youth! You wanna get gun shoot! Blow! !!!!
and I don't think Syl johnson actually wrote this joint or produced it he just performed it... so if they followed the proper channels maybe his authorization wasn't needed *kanyeshrug... like when jay said "oh yeah I sampled your voice you was using it wrong... I know who I paid god, serchlite publishing" y'all quick to jump on somebody
Seriously Kanye west And Jayz Pay That Nigga. How can you talk for your black people and then rob another brother without paying him !?? PAY Syl Johnson !!!
I thought pete rock made the beat on the WTT album lol, from what I understand of the music business the label has to get clearance for samples otherwise it can't make the album, like "all falls down" which had lauryn hills voice at first but then Ye switched it to sylena johnson singing the actual words... sample prolly didn't clear...
Bottom line is weather its jes a " huh" or not if u don't want to pay up then don't use it... Come up wit ur own simple sound. I'm sure he's not askin for a really large amount of money plus artist get budgets from their label for things like this the money wouldn't even be comming outta jayz and kanyes pocket.
Its because of the "Ugh" at 0:05 ... there seems to be a "similar" one in The Joy at 0:23 secs... put The Joy on iTunes, listen to them both and you'll see what he's talking about.
Pay up! Weather its jes a "huh" or a scream or whatever.... If any of us was to make a track and sample jayz or kanyes voice without there permission they would sue us for everything.... In the beginning of the dear summer freestyle jayz says to all the producers " do not sample my voice or I'm commin for 700 percent" swizz beats sampled Hov on "imma hustler" and "bring em out" probably cuttin jay a small check and when jays greedy ass seen how much money he missed out on he made this statemen
Get off Ye DICK.. He aint steal shit.. Pete Rock made this.. Kanye got it from Pete Rock probably assuming it was sampled was cleared. And Sly Johnson just a old bittter ass nigga.. How much money do that nigga want for a sayin "uh" wtf.. get out here. Kanye is a sampling genius he has no reason to steal from no one. Fuck out here wit that bullshit..
@Str8Bmxin Yu Sound Dumb Af Foo , Sampling IS Stealing If Yu Dont Pay For That Sample & If Syl Johnson IS Da Artist Who's Voice Is Being Used Den He Does Need To Get Paid Its Kalled Royalties & Copyright Foo , Jus Like Wit "Otis" Dat Sample Had To Be Cleared Like Kanye Jus Got Caught Slippin & If Anybody Is On Ye Dick Its YU My Frienn Kause Yu Stickin Up Fa Da Nigga Wen He Dead Ass Wrong Like He Yo Lil Brother Or Sumn , But Its Okay Syl Still Fina Get His Money For Dat Sample & Then Some!!
uhh huhn worldstar brought me here for my curiosiity. I didnt know what song it was until i heard this. My question is....if jay-z and kanye been in the music game for a long time how the hell they aint know that thats an illegal way to do music. like i would think theyd know better whether they took the sample purposly or not they was pose to ask and make sure that they were not copyright infringing. I pressed like by the way.
syl johnson's catalog is tremendous! but they listenin! and syl johnson aint the only one! ''GET THE SAMPLES CLEARED''! if only ''JAB'' the drummer from the james brown ''HITS'' could have gotten some royalties for being one of the most sampled drummers of all time, if not he sure is #1
@mbzzzzzz it would be very grown-up if it actually was music. I'm not gonna go crazy if someone inserts me going AGH! in one of their songs. It's just not worth it arguing about as if its art. I didn't work hard to make that noise. The song? Yeah I worked hard to make the song, but that AGH or UGH! I did not. Come on son.
This is some raw and funky sh*t... Johnson is one of the most underrated soul singers of all time. What a classic tune this is! Thanks for posting it, pirecords...
Pete Rock didn't plan on the record being as big is it's gotten obviously...He might've gotten away with it if he threw to Camp Lo but ummmm...man...sorry for you Rock smh...
Pete Rock, the producer of the track, doesn't have to clear a sample for release. Jay-z and Kanye, who's album it is, are responsible for that.
it's just stupid that you would sample a song that has been cleared before by others and not clear it for your album. don't think it was a dick move as much as an oversight i'm sure. it's not like Jay n ye don't have enough money to clear whatever the fuck they want.
im mad kanye to curtis mayfield beautiful life love affirming and song and rapped about aborting black kids and degrading women... sue the mess out then lames Sly!
@7sixesssss No he did credit them. They're just complaining that apparentley they didnt contact or ask permission. But he only like sampled the begging "uhhs" which is hardly music. Or thats the only sample i recognize with first listen
@Kylestylez hahaha...no not really. you obviously have never had someone technically steal from you somehting that u put a lot of work into. and ps...i own and support all of the music kanye has ever put out
LOVE THIS SONG! THIS SONG PRECEDED SAY IT LOUD (JAMES BROWN) BY A YEAR, AND WAS AS GOOD A DANCE SONG AS ANYTHING BY WILSON PICKETT AT THE TIME. HAS AN ELEMENT OF TRAMP IN IT AS WELL! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS CLASSIC DANCE/R&B TRACK, YOU JUST WANT TO LOOP THE LOOP INTO ETERNITY. DAVEDJ
@ PI214 good call. As you said to name a few also includes Kwame & NB - Only You. De La Soul - Freedom of Speak , 3 Feet High and Rising. Countless break beat albums. 2 minutes spawned so many classic hip hop cuts.

LOVE THIS SONG! THIS SONG PRECEDED SAY IT LOUD (JAMES BROWN) BY A YEAR, AND WAS AS GOOD A DANCE SONG AS ANYTHING BY WILSON PICKETT AT THE TIME. HAS AN ELEMENT OF TRAMP IN IT AS WELL! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS CLASSIC DANCE/R&B TRACK, YOU JUST WANT TO LOOP THE LOOP INTO ETERNITY. DAVEDJ

@ PI214 good call. As you said to name a few also includes Kwame & NB - Only You. De La Soul - Freedom of Speak , 3 Feet High and Rising. Countless break beat albums. 2 minutes spawned so many classic hip hop cuts.
