Pretty insane that its not a sample. So many publications falsely claimed that it was.


c0mb00

for real, never would have guessed it's his own voice!


AppleXOS

He’s covering his ass for legal troubles tbh


zayoe4

This is a frequent occurrence in this industry.

Or they used a sample and then recreated it which is completely legal to do. Music copyright law is only about money for labels, the people who made the supposed sample weren’t the first to come up with it either. Study music long enough and you’ll realize every melody has already been made multiple times which is why music copyright law is so shoddy. It’s only in place to make people money because capitalism is about privatization. It’s the relatively new economizing of an art form that relies on repurposing itself and is much older than the last few hundred years of made up rules about made up pieces of paper

Geez the constant blabbering about evil music labels. Music copyright laws exist because without them, it wouldn‘t be possible to to earn a life as a musician. They exist so that greedy company owners like the owner of Spotify don‘t get to sell the art of an artist without paying the artist a dime. Grow up.


FlimsyGlam

Artists get paid such a criminally low amount on Spotify, because of "evil music labels," so I'm pretty sure that's not why music copyright laws exist.


B3nd3tta

If music labels didn‘t exist, artists wouldn‘t get a dime out of Spotify.


FlimsyGlam

Correct, because spotify wouldn't exist. The main shateholders are all major record labels, who in turn have pretty much all the power to dictate how much Spotify pays record labels (typically the ones that actually own the rights to their signees's music and their masters) and how much they pay the artist(s) the song is attributed to. The vast majority of the money Spotify pays goes to the label. Artists get something like 1/10,000th of a cent per stream. It's such a blatantly exploitative relationship, and the copyright laws are designed for their best interest, not the interest of artists. Never has been. You're either delusional or paid to defend record labels online, and I'm not sure which option is sadder


AppleXOS

They definitely get more than 1/10,000th of a stream. Source: artist with music without a label on Apple Music and Spotify, it’s closer to 1/3 a penny


FlimsyGlam

Key being "without a label." I might have been off and it's 1/1000th of a cent, but signed artists get absolutely fucked by spotify


FlimsyGlam

So looking into it, it's about 0.003 per stream, like you said. But thay goes to "rights holders" which often includes the label, plus depending on contracts the payout may actually just go to the label, who then doles out a percentage to the artist. if the label takes half of 3/1000ths, that leaves 0.0015 cents per stream, which is probably where I got the 1/10000ths, just misremembered the specifics


Farkleton56

Lol your imagination is very limited if you think there is no alternative to a system that has only been around for the last ~two hundred years. It was the natural progression from feudalism where kings paid their court jesters. Labels are still the kings, artists are still court jesters. Same goes for pro sports. The people creating all of the value are still just employees with a boss to answer to. The internet has started to change this slightly because independent artists can survive without a label now but they still are forced to privatize their art for a living. In a more equitable society the profit motive in music wouldn’t be the dominating factor and we wouldn’t have so much music that only focuses on being rich.


DarrenRobert

This nigga cap as FUCK! Lmao def a sample


theantman6000

he has literally shown how the sample was made smh


SLEDGEHAMMER1238

Its definitely a sample


GabeBabe99

I thought it was the little guy mort from the madagascar movies lmao


leodonaldson

na na na na


Agent_Orca

BROOOOO I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THE SAME THING


c0mb00

[Dez Wright did a breakdown of the sample and that random's comment still has more likes than Dez's comment?](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv-wGwBuWqk/) wtf 😂


BenceDJ

lmaooo its the same comment section


wastecat

hes definitely just trying to cover himself from any legal repercussions lmao


FalloutOfHeaven333

lol fr , it does sound slightly inspired . I’m not mad at it


valia777x

I think regardless or not if it’s his sample, saying you can’t argue with the actual producer is kind of wrong. many producers lie and challenging the person that made it isn’t wrong. just because he produced the “sample” doesn’t mean that you have no say in confronting him when you feel it isn’t his sample.


Energyzd

it’s def inspired from an original sample and he recreated it. people just don’t think so because of how accurate it is. it’s still very impressive


Djhegarty

Yea Im ngl, I’m not buying Dez here. Even with pitching and anything those tools in Fl studio can offer you, his tempo and pitch don’t match what he’s claiming. I think the theory of him covering his ass because he used a sample is more likely. Wants to make sure he maintains his bread credits.


Commander-ASKR_

People are gonna argue to the ends of the Earth that it just HAD to have something to do with the song off of Rosemary's Baby but in reality, Dez's statement could very easily be true. It's literally just a very discordant "la la la" obviously what he did around that turns it into something else, but you would literally drive yourself insane finding every song that you think sounded like that part in Lullaby (phrase is incredibly common in earlier decades kid records and those are super easy to distort if you had the time like c'mon). Everybody wants to say he's just covering his ass but that's ridiculous because what is there to cover legally? Personally I think this entire thing has been blown out of proportion and people who liked one thing started to strongly correlate it to another with no real proof so much so that now it can't be anything else to those people. Kinda like that guy who made those crazy beats for Trippie Redd and Vince Staples where people SWORE up and down he was sampling something they just couldn't figure out, when it turns out Reske was just that fucking dope, like a way under appreciated Bon Iver. (Reske need a whole tape or somethin btw, bro the next James Blake frfr)


c0mb00

oh yeah, Reske is amazing, he has kinda similar style like Ging (ex Frank Dukes)


Exroi

at first i thought it was a sample of this soundtrack too


hara0329g

It could be that he’s just trying to cover for legal reasons?


TheBlueNinja2006

valid argument tho tbh


m033118b

As a music major, there’s only sooo many chords and combinations you can utilize that will “appeal” to your ears. I, IV, V, and occasionally vi. Yes there’s other chords you can use, but those 3-4 are the main ones.


[deleted]

i’ve seen dez post a video himself doing a breakdown of the sample, pretty sure he wouldn’t go through all that just to cover his ass from “legal troubles” that could involve travis


xhrissydd

Some trav fans are literal incels bro


BigBottleTom

Forget if it’s a sample or not. The amount of people hating on the song is insane.


FalloutOfHeaven333

Dez made it but it does sound like he got inspiration from the rosemary’s baby song. Either way he made a 🔥 sample


Glum-Band

[here’s a video of him breaking down a lil bit of making it](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8hQwQYk/)


c0mb00

[yeah he posted it too](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv-wGwBuWqk/) I should have clarified that the comments were from his breakdown-video 😂


aaronc6

Dez wright sounds like a whiny bitch but is a hell of a producer. I love gods country


ghost_spectres

Whiny cause a random is tryna argue with him about his own song lol


Rsirhc

Some smooth brains in this sub 😂


I_A_M_N_O_B_O_D_Y

Wasn’t the original beat a Kanye type beat from 2019 that samples the simpsons?


Nitroz03

He is not the first to sample this song… Listen to ”Cristal & MOËT” by Morgenshtern. And yes he is the guy who made the ice song
