Yeah, in terms of like, I don't mean to copy exactly.
Yeah, if you're taking it exactly, it's a cover.
Yeah. And you can get permission for that.
In fact, you might not even need permission for that.
You just give them all the publishing control.
If you don't know, they take everything.
You don't get any rights if it's a cover.
No. And covers are allowed.
Yeah. And then cover artists are there.
You know what I mean?
Cover artists are there.
OK. They get booked.
Like if someone now comes and tells Kurt of his song
and sings better than him.
Wussinova was a cover artist for the longest time.
You know what I mean?
So all I'm saying is that, OK, let's watch this video
clip. It talks about how, what's the sky?
You're Drake's producer.

The one who's a boy died a long time ago.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no song.
It's a zola, no.

-I... It's dope. -So what I'm saying is this is that...
We get a sampling doesn't have to be exactly the same.
Some people can be creative, but how about 40 and all of them?
If you go to Spotify, you'll see all the credits of all the samples.
Everyone that they sample, this lady talks about how 40 does it very well.
Since you're a team Drake now, you're still a team Drake.
