Did The Fugees Steal This Song?

[@weinbob]

Dude, that was EPIC. Your video edits and narration rocked!! Seriously it’s like you morphed your music production skills into video journalist writing for Rolling Stone magazine. Two Thumps Up.

Heard mixed reports about the financial settlement. Rumours she absolutely took them to the cleaners. She waited until it got to no.1 before unleashing the legal case. They were faced with having the record completely removed or handing over the vast majority of the profits. Enya lives in a castle for a reason.

Some context left out. The opening line by Wyclef mentions where he got the sample from. However, there's no mention in this video if that source faced the same threats as the Fugees as they too used her sample. Secondly, Wyclef's verse that mentions a "bank robbery" was a precautionary story of what can happen when living a criminal life. He wasn't endorsing it. The Fugees are far from "gangsta rappers". They opposed it. As a writer, she should've listened closer and approached them differently.

Hey thanks for commenting! Boadicea was properly licensed for the Sleepwalkers film. Since it was a major motion picture I left out that it had proper licensing, as I thought that was self apparent. Good insight on Wyclefs lyrics!

Enya was mad at the lyrics because she didn’t understand them. Culture clash

[@subliminalsequences]

Completely agree. The lyrics about "defecating on your microphone", were in reference to how some people look up to criminals like Al Capone, while Lauren takes the higher ground and uses people like Nina Simone (a civil rights activist) as her north star. I don't think Enya initially understood the meaning behind the songs lyrics.

[@subliminalsequences]

Hey! Thanks so much. This comment really means a lot. Appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the video.

Sony cleared all the samples of The Score album, and the returns from the album sales was even greater...

[@subliminalsequences]

After Enya filed a lawsuit. So they initially stole the sample.

Celts has a hard c. Like kelts. The team popularized an incorrect pronunciation.

Hip Hop sneaks these by all the time, George Clinton**

[@subliminalsequences]

Agreed!

[@Mr.Tubster]

SOunds interesting 😀

[@andyatmosphere]

Bro.... just pay for the royalties upfront.

[@subliminalsequences]

Would have saved them some serious dough in the long run..

[@richardbomber8191]

Dude, it was 1987 for the Celts (said "Kelts")

[@subliminalsequences]

Thanks for your insightful comment. I say let’s go back to 1987 initially then made a mistake by saying 97 when doing re-edits. Others have pointed out the mispronunciation of Celts. I hope there was more taken away from the video.

Now if the Royals would give all the jewels and artifacts they stole from Africa. That would be nice

[@FranckMaintenay]

Has Andy Warhol stolen the Campbell soup can packaging ?

[@subliminalsequences]

Did Gru and the minions steal the moon?!
