So let me understand this correctly someone uses one of your sample pack and you get the credit for writing the entire song, you make a loop without any beat and some else finishes it and you get the writing credit. How does that even work? I can understand you need to clear a loop with you, but your get the writing of the entire song credit and not the producer of the beat that made the loop work??? Or did the producer also get credit, just asking, cause it does not add up in my head.

[@prodkxvi]

@@Lalaland.001 everyone got credit hahaha. Go look on Spotify. I’m just one of the credits

[@Lalaland.001]

@@prodkxvi I don't know you or any of the other producers was just asking a legit question, thank you for laughing about it. Makes it all seem even more professional. Way to interact with someone, who just randomly got your video recommended. It says a lot about who you are as a person. I was not disrespectful or trying to be disrespectful to you, was seriously interested in how it worked, seems to me you don't even care enough to take a legit question serious, way to go. Hope you get all you dream of.

[@prodkxvi]

@@Lalaland.001 i didn't mean it to laugh at you at all! was just trying to show i wasn't angry in the response, hard to show that through text, I was just trying to answer your question

[@Lalaland.001]

@@prodkxvi To me it just really came off to me as disingenuous and smug. Kind of like a little smirky smile at the back-end of that comment. If that was not your intention, then I do understand your motivation a bit better now. No harm, no foul then.

[@mayrln]

YOU DID THE SAMPLE FOR LETTER TO MY BRUDDA?!? that is my favourite song on the album, this is incredible.

[@trippyishimfr]

[@ItsArius]

not sure if you can talk about it, but a video where u break down how much of a streaming royality split you get, or if you don't get streaming royalties and only publishing shares, would be rly interesting.

[@prodkxvi]

I was just talking to my bro about hearing this same melody on Lil Darius “I Need You” and why it wasn’t on streaming platforms anymore. Figured the situation was along the lines of what happened. Crazy.

[@emysionelol5154]

Congrats g, 21 savage greatest rapper of all time❤

[@algoriithmtheproducer]

I've been producing, engineering, graphic designing and owning websites for over 10 years. I tell every creative this KEEP WORKING!!!!!!!! Yes, talent helps, but DRIVE AND CONSISTENCY is the biggest components. While you aren't getting placements, you still need to be selling beats locally or trying to shop beats elsewhere! JKW - JUST KEEP WORKING!!! NOBODY has a magic pill or will do the work for you. WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK!!!

[@Commonkane]

Bro I love both those songs your so talented🔥🔥

[@ayoonine]

Congrats man!

[@Larpeggio]

But was that vocal kit you dropped royalty free or not? I’m wondering how you can make money from big artists using your loops if you are selling them royalty free?

[@mrr5835]

Kinda have the same question!

[@prod.segway]

Wasn’t royalty free if he’s making money from a loop

[@sincerelyhaydes]

it's royalty free except major placements I guess🤷‍♂️

[@ProdByBorthWest]

@@sincerelyhaydesI think it’s royalty free till like 500 k streams I’ve seen that before on loop kits idk how he does his tho

[@Micmuzik]

Good question I wonder if in this case you’ll just get backend from bmi and label ? Royalty free I would assume no upfront is paid to you

[@ricardo6753]

great work bruddaaaa

[@x808x4]
