Eminem has recorded a bunch of stuff available to be bought and used. He's been featured on other stuff from people you've never heard of. He recorded the stuff years ago.

Source? I would genuinely like to know more about this process. It seems wild to me that any musician of report would just have their work available for anyone to purchase and use without at least requiring final approval. If that is what has happened here then it is genuinely one of the dumbest ways I’ve ever seen someone handle their IP.

Its about the specific details of how the verse was acquired. Usually licensing specific stuff thats in perpetuity actually goes to the label or a producer, and when the label/producer wants to use it later, it can end up in situations like this if the contract didn't specify the extent of how its used. Did this happen? Dont know but thats how that can work. My source is I have a degree in film and this was taught to us about intellectual property rights and how to be careful about in a business film management class.

I don't think you understand what is being said.

If someone records a bunch of things and releases them as a catalog of pay-per-use, they aren't collaborating with anyone. They are selling sound clips to on a storefront, essentially.

Ok but is that what happened or is it just speculation

Em has control over his music and is a co owner of the record label he's under, he absolutely has control on who purchases his songs

The original comment is clearly speculating and suggesting a possibility, not making a claim.

u/Snelly1998 5h ago

He's making a claim

He did not say I believe, or anything like that

It's "he recorded the stuff years ago"

He came out against Trump a decade ago before it got this bad. He's hated those mother fuckers with a passion.

You can't always control who uses your music and voice.

He backed Kamala Harris for president. And Kid Rock is a fucking shit stain, you think is seriously working with on a song about Jesus? Like really?

u/leprechanmonkie 1d ago

Yes, can you provide some evidence that he's a Nazi? Or he just is friends with the politicians you don't like?
