QuoteCan you back up the claim that Suge got the rights for "Change Da Game" in exchange for Jay-Z sampling "Me and My Girlfriend" a year later? Haven't seen that yet.That can only be proved by asking Suge himself. All we do know is that "Change The Game Remix" sampled Makaveli "Hail Mary" so Clue/Jay-Z would've had to get Suge's permission to use the sample. He could have traded 2 Makaveli samples for rights to release "Change The Game Remix" and a completely different track for Suge's dysfunktional family ("Hovi Baby") for the second sample ("Me and My Girlfriend"). Someone would have to ask Suge the exact deal. But we do know that 2 Makaveli samples were authorized by Death Row that Jay-Z rapped on so of course they were doing business.

I think he's trying to make the argument that since Jay quoted the chorus from "Hail Mary" in that line about Pac that he needed to have the sample cleared. What he doesn't seem to get is that it probably qualifies for "fair use".
So two Sites About Jay and Death Row but my question is Why is there a Fred wreck Beat???
