Logic has taken to Twitter today to sound off on sample clearances, ahead of his new album Confessions of a Dangerous Mind dropping soon.
“Just want to take a moment and say, fuck sample clearances,” he said. “Fuck clearing samples. Fuck people taking all a producers money for not doing shit and fuck the companies that say no just cuz. This is hip hop. I’m tired of replaying shit. Fuck the money. This why mixtapes was so good.”
The Maryland rapper then followed up the tweet with a lengthier statement about samples, which references Lou Reed.
Check out the tweets below.
