See, the thing is, he performed the beat. They all sample the beat he performed. So if these people were using a beat they performed, but sounds like his, that's one thing. But if they use a beat that is sampled and performed by someone else, then they should pay the person something. Just my personal take.

Just because you create a sound doesn't mean you should own it. All sounds, beats, melodies, and songs belong in the public domain. Copyright laws impede creativity and have stunted the evolution of music, especially hip hop.

It's a break they're sampling, not the entire beat.

I agree with tasers but no to shooting in the leg.

Why does the general public think cops are expert marksmen than can easily pull off leg shots?

Those lazy motherfuckers can't and even if they could they are trained to shoot on sight and just kill if there is a potential threat.

Yeah man, how dare they keep our streets safer by getting rid of crime. How dare they! Such an awful thing to do!

It really is, because most of the crimes they enforce are harmless and don't really affect the community (see drugs and traffic laws).

getting rid of what crime? They are the primary gang committing the most crime and getting away(paid vacations and time off) with it.
