LOL good lookin y'all. Yeah, I've been producin for about 11 years...was down with Black Wall Street for a good minute.The Destiny's Child situation made the whole thing bittersweet to me. I made that beat early in 2004, far before their album came out. I think their album dropped later in 04, and I never heard it when it dropped...but my best friend called me and was like "Ey!!!!! Destiny's Child stole yo beat!!!!!!!!!" and I was just like WTF??? He played it for me over the phone, and I downloaded it, and realized that 9th Wonder used the same sample as me, but the beat still sounded a bit different. I was mad because that was one of my prime beats, and also because I NEVER sample beats like that...I only have 2-3 beats in my entire catalog that are straight samples like that. So with that, I couldn't sell the beat because they used it, and because I didn't get the sample cleared...so it ended up on G. Malone's mixtape. It has always sucked that the song I produced with the most "starpower" on it had to have a damn sample from a new song that had a single...so even when I first got this track, I would hate playin it for people, because the first thing they would say is "all you did was took Destiny's Child's beat" and most of them felt it was the EXACT same, identical beat...so they'd just be like "whatever, you didn't produce shit"...and it made it worst that Game's verse was recycled.
I haven't been as active since 05 because I have been in Florida most of the time for school, and haven't been able to get as much work out. I still keep in contact with different rappers, but most of the ones who I was supposed to work with ended up putting their projects off, or say that they are still working on their project. I cancelled my album, R-Ticulation, but I still have a lot of unused beats from there that need to be heard. I am going to L.A. next week, so I am going to try to link up with some people then.
