But obviously you not finna get a reply as a smaller artist from a major but how would you avoid getting your song taken down when it blows?

Throwing this in the dark on the rare chance that anyone on here has experience with this

just take the risk

Just put it out

Its not gonna get flagged, and if it does the song will probably have enough traction by that point you can offer rights or try to negotiate or just take the L but ur most likely gonna be good tbh

simply don’t

Is this fr bro? I never put my music on dsps bc of this

Its not gonna get flagged most likely unless its picking up steams

Griselda didnt clear none of their samples until like 2020 lol

trust me it does not matter

Oh s*** lmfao thats crazy
I guess if ur samples r getting flagged its a sign you’re doing pretty well too

It’s happened plenty of times, artist doesn’t get sued or works out a deal until after the song blows up

Atleast by then there’s some bread/label backing

I know a nigga who straight up raps on mainstream artist beats like carti and his stuff is on dsps and he has like 10k monthly listeners and hasnt gotten flagged somehow

Definitely a good indication

Id just make sure to have some original music as well

this

this honestly ^ there’s no real risk

if they take it down you’ll make more

What’s the sample? I’ll let them know you need clearance.

If you’re being serious, use a licensing service to do it on your behalf as a smaller artist and document everything. Best of luck!

The only time u gotta worry about this is if you putting unauthorized remixes on streaming platforms. (Cause u messing with folks acapocos.)

Otherwise it’s a good ol game of “catch me if you can.”

f*** clearing a sample

f*** the cops do it

Lil B has 1.1m monthly listeners with 99% uncleared samples and beats from other rappers. I don't think any of his albums/songs have ever been taken down

based

I would hate to get like one of your biggest songs, do a video and promo and then it gets taken down

Anycia - so what comes to mind although like she did u kinda just gotta say f*** it and keep going i guess

What are some that you know of, would appreciate it
