How did one of Hip Hop's biggest producers lose $45,000 on a Rihanna track because of a drum kit? Hit-Boy recently admitted to getting sued over a "royalty-free" sample pack he traded with Don Cannon that ended up on Rihanna's Anti album. Reflecting on a recent segment from New Old Heads episode 483, I break down exactly what happened in the Hit-Boy lawsuit and why trading sample packs is technically theft. We take a deep dive into the business of beat-making, explaining the difference between master recording royalties and intellectual property (publishing), and why producers must always retain their points—using the tragic history of the "Funky Drummer" Clyde Stubblefield as a cautionary tale.
