I had the chance to work as a production assistant on a few rocafella projects in the early 2000's and I can say out of all the Roc artists, Omilio was the coolest, always showed me love and greeted me with respect. This is unfortunate, because if anyone deserved millions, it was him.
Yeah. He was trying to get an I'll hook for his song for the dude he paid to make music. Y'all do understand that ROC was started and ran by Jay, bigs and Dame right? They paid these people. Y'all gotta understand that labels give you everything except your lyrics. You literally only gotta write then go in and record. You don't engineer, you don't mix, you don't produce, you don't do background vocals, you don't pay for the videos, you don't buy the beats, you don't do ANYTHING but record and make appearances.
One thing I don't like about business is some people can make a $100 million and won't give the people who helped a little cash just to let them know they appreciate it. I'm not saying give them half but at least give them a taste. The sad part is people think that's the right way to do business.
+emmanuel kevin yeah but then you have the option not to pay them. At the end of the day you being the centerpiece in which is making all the money you're gonna have most if not all knowledge of who did what especially if you asked for the song. Be a stand up businessman and pay the people you know are responsible for the success of that respective project or projects.
That's why people get fucked! It's no common sense in business! Dam sure no love or loyalty! Just numbers! That's why people get fucked! thinking people will do the right thing out of love, respect or dignity! Money has no loyalty and business is the profession of money! Just like a marriage,go thinking iys all Love,then you find out that marriage is a business decision and you made the wrong move!! Always have a contract on everything you do!! Now that's common sense!
I like his responses to the questions asked of him. He basically states that he didn't have his business straight and JAY-Z took advantage of that particular situation. He also states that he has publishing company up and running so he now he knows what to expect in the future.
Man, all it takes is one song. Dude lost out on millions with this one. Damn, that sucks bruh. We aint gone all be stars or make 9 figures in life, but one song that blows up like this, man ur set for life. Well, should be.
Got him photo shopped into the studio lol. Too funny. But real talk Sparks ripped those "Tales of a Hustla'" on Beanie's albums. Part 1 and 2 are in my top 25 favorite songs. Clearin' my conscious in the liquor store, with a 5th of thunderbird, and I be guzzlin' hard!"
People got to understand, just because you have talent dont mean you are business savvy. These guys were street dudes trying to get out the hood. They had the talent all they needed was a shot. They didn't know anything about the music business, they just wanted to rap and make music. You live and you learn. I respect this dude for taking the punch and keeping it moving. Sometimes getting burned teaches you a lesson so it doesn't happen again. This is a business, it's not a game.
Everybody saying its business. Just because its business don't mean its good business. Would you would want to work on a label where the artist is the CEO without your best interest? Someone who cared for you would let you peep game. When Omillio starting peeping game about his paper he started having arguments with Dame. The lox battled for over 10 years with Puff to get theirs. He was still making money off them when they went over to Ruff Ryders.
Diddy wasn't making anything lol... Their publishing wasn't worth anything from money, power, respect. They knew that shit, and clearly stated that it was about principle.
@@PancakeDiaries all the 3 them got a 1.5 mill settlement after fighting all those years for it wtf are you talking about? Everytime the song plays diddy gets money for it
It's no secret those guys steal to get to the top. It doesn't matter me as a ethical person I would pay him his due even if he's too ignorant to know better
*Don't chase the money chase knowledge in your profession and the money will come.* * Jay didn't take advantage of Omillio on a personal level but he took advantage of his *Lack Of Knowledge In His Field/Occupation/Business etc.* * People think that it would be cool to work in the entertainment business, and it is... but first *seek knowledge or instructions on how to navigate in whatever field you choose.* * *Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,* *for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare* *with her.* *Prov. **8:10**-11*
I guess when he says "that was the big homey" he meant "if I don't give Jay this record, who is the label CEO, he gone let me sit on the label for years without dropping my album or feature on songs with other artists on the label" unless someone comes in and do a buyout on my contract. Saigon said something similar happened to him in a interview.
He just meant are you gunna tell the boss- who just signed you and basically saved ur life.. ur gunna tell him "no"? Besides being selfed as an artist that would just be disloyal. Jay cared about loyalty.
@@elbowgang9715 didn't sample the song tho. He's interpolated the bridge from "give it to me baby". The beat doesn't sample anything at all, so nobody got paid for it but the Neptunes.
homie admitted that he messed up and should've had his publishing correct. yall saying that he should sue etc. but if you're signed to his label and wanna stay on his label because you know its in your best interest then why would you do that and get on his bad side! just learn the lesson and move forward!
O & sparks probably didn't know about the business but besides that just listen to what he said "THATS (JAY-Z) what am I gunna tell him? NO?" Jay sign signed him and basically saved his life at the time
The chorus for the Jay-Z song is an interpolation of "Give it to Me Baby" by Rick James from the "Street Songs album (the album that "Super Freak" is on)
What people must realize is that in order for you to get to a level like Jay Z is on, you have to step on people's necks! I'm not condoning that but that's just the way it is! Why do you think him and Beyonce click? Beyonce stepped on the necks of the 2 original Des Chi members so she could be the main attraction! They are one in the same! However, the chickens always come home to roost!
@DopeButtaTV Despite that circumstance, I like how Omillio has shown that he's long since dealt with it and not become bitter or resentful because of it. Omillio said, "you live and you learn through experience" and that's so true. Sometimes you can't be on point 100%. You have to go throught trial and error, take a loss or two to build up experience in general and alot of people seem to forget that.
Well all he had to do was call up ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC and "say I got a single out and how do I sign up." He need to not let this shit linger a get a lawyer and sue for back pay because the longer he let this shit slide the judge gone be like "you just now doing this?"
Everyone's missing the point. Omilio did not own that hook. He stole it from Rick James. That's why when he went to Jay for a check Jay said "Rick James" because Jay learned that what he thought Omilio made up was actually stolen intellectual rights. Jay paid the correct owner of the lyrics
that's how the music business works..it's cut throat..all the top people keep the money and the artist is the last to get paid..and the artist doesn't even get money..they usually get material compensation..(an expensive car/chain/clothes..etc)...especially with hip hop artists.
that's sad because he didn't even need to get publishing on the record. Jay-Z could of easily given him writers credit for it with him having a publishing company.
The sad thing is that this happens to so many young and inexperienced people in the Biz..... and because you dont have honest people this is what happens. so sad
he might not have gotten money for publishing cuz the lines he said were from Rick James "Give It To Me Baby" so technically the publishing credit would have went to Rick for originally writing that line. If anything Sparks might have gotten a performer credit but thats only if Jay and them actually listed him as a performer on the song credits.
Jay Z did dirty business, it’s like he wasn’t trying to put people on but once they got a buzz he was trying to take their buzz for himself. Camron tells the story of Jay Z just throwing a verse on “Oh Boy” without clearing anything by anyone and Cam got rid of it because Jay Z got rid of Cam’s verse on a Peedi Crakk track. Jay Z treated grown men like kids.
And he made state property to fuck over and replace Major figgas. He ruined a lot of philly rappers lives fr of u think about it.. as much as he helped he probably hurt more
The Roc had a roster of talent but Kanye was the only 1 who knew how to write hit records. Roc ended over 10 years ago and none of them dropped not 1 hit record yet. All they doing is dropping videos bout what this and that person did and didn't do. Roc gave all them momentum and they couldn't sustain it.
The artists that went with Dame were blackballed... Even then Beans had a big hit with feel it in the air. Also towards the end days of the Roc Beans was snapping harder than Jay. I don't know why you think talent has anything to do with sales tho...
Actually I was there day you spit that hook we was in baseline that day..when We got there right after he record it...I think violates...they was in baseline it was where downtown new your......I remember roc-a-fella days like yesterday
He wasn't going to get publishing for that anyway. That was a Rick James line from "Give it to me baby." If he got upfront money then he was better off. At any rate, even without his publishing company setup, he should have gotten writing royalties from a PRO (ASCAP, BMI, Etc). That would have been half of the total performance money he would get. Gotta know the business dudes!
+southern cali changed the lyrics, counts as an interpolation. Same rhythm and context, just changed a few words. Labels do this all the time to avoid certain licenses and make the song more relevant.
I ain't mad at this dude at all 'cuase he lettin' it all out and plus you can't hear enough of these stories to help guide those tryin' to get in the business...Yo 1 L to O for this!
Sean Carter I agree with Terrence Lloyd. I can knock it! This is the guy who's supposed to be the "greatest of all time" and people are supposed to admire and look up to? No, he's just an asshole who has a tremendous ego and is long overdue for being cut down to size! Bullies have been winning for long enough and things have to motherfucking change! Enough is enough!
This title is misleading. He's less saying that someone stole from him,more that he didnt have his OWN affairs in order. And Give it to Me was far from his 2nd largest record in his career. And it's stupid to think anyone can make MILLIONS from a single, so he didnt loose that much. He shouldve used to opportunity to do more music. Look at Nate Dogg, he figured it out.
That was one of Jay Z biggest songs of his career. That song was huge back in the early 00’s. This one and hard knock life crossed over. So they really fucked him. They could have waited for his publishing.
Omillo wouldn't have made anything anyway because those lyrics are from rick James... other than the bread he got to appear on the song... the money went to who wrote the lyrics... RICK JAMES lmao...
Jay z took advantage of everybody he could...witch has landed him where he is....on top....and cat act like he anit have no help.... SMH he try to talk about "black excellence"......he didn't wanna be below or on the same level as no one around him....I don't see anything wrong with that but it's how u achieve that goal and how u handle your power when you've reached that level......my opinion 🤞
Him like many other artists didn't understand music business period and the side effects would come back to haunt him. Jayz and Dame dash knew that alot of their artistes didn't have their publishing set up and knew the long term effects of not having it.
p diddy and jay they are fucking piece of shit.. the way they make their billions are so disgusting.. throatcutter businessman robbing people.. murder as well.. p diddy even child molester
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz got no publishing for the only hit of their career deja vu. Steely Dan demanded 100% of the publishing plus payed 115,00 for the master. They only got money off the show.

Jay been stealing songs, hooks, lyrics, beats from people..top vulture in the game. I cant knock it tho. Its how he made it to the top.
Im knockin it!!!
Money should never supersede integrity!
Drake Does Now
Sean Carter I agree with Terrence Lloyd. I can knock it! This is the guy who's supposed to be the "greatest of all time" and people are supposed to admire and look up to? No, he's just an asshole who has a tremendous ego and is long overdue for being cut down to size! Bullies have been winning for long enough and things have to motherfucking change! Enough is enough!
Sean Carter your name
@rayvictory i agree fam im with you.
This title is misleading. He's less saying that someone stole from him,more that he didnt have his OWN affairs in order. And Give it to Me was far from his 2nd largest record in his career. And it's stupid to think anyone can make MILLIONS from a single, so he didnt loose that much. He shouldve used to opportunity to do more music. Look at Nate Dogg, he figured it out.
He didnt have any "affairs" :)
By affairs I mean his own publishing deal
Stupid dumb swollen face nigga, Jay-z played homie point blank..
That was one of Jay Z biggest songs of his career. That song was huge back in the early 00’s. This one and hard knock life crossed over. So they really fucked him. They could have waited for his publishing.
the song is called
i just wanna love u(give it 2 me)
Omillo wouldn't have made anything anyway because those lyrics are from rick James... other than the bread he got to appear on the song... the money went to who wrote the lyrics... RICK JAMES lmao...
Beautiful studio!
Jay z took advantage of everybody he could...witch has landed him where he is....on top....and cat act like he anit have no help.... SMH he try to talk about "black excellence"......he didn't wanna be below or on the same level as no one around him....I don't see anything wrong with that but it's how u achieve that goal and how u handle your power when you've reached that level......my opinion 🤞
Nigga jay z from Marcy a hustle what u expect
🤔?
Yo! how can I get that instrumental playing in the back. That joint was fire!!!
BABY BOY DA WILD CARD I KEEP DA A.B.M IN DA GAME👶👶♦♥♣😂😂😂
KC79972 state property 2, one of my favorite movies
Man Rick James wrote that. All he did was Rap the words to Rick James “Give It To Me Baby!” Pharrell wrote the hook and it was Neptune track.
The industry is infested with snakes
The Hov verse at the end vlad enjoyed putting that in there
bro not even in a real studio
Cgnition looooool
Hahahaha
Yes he is, that glow around his body is his aura because his chakras are open..didnt you listen to chingy?
What is it??
No shit sherlock
i love the background. that shit cracks me up
How is it Jay's fault his publishing company wasn't set up?
The man said they was family so lol,That's the big homie so lol-catch my drift!
Him like many other artists didn't understand music business period and the side effects would come back to haunt him. Jayz and Dame dash knew that alot of their artistes didn't have their publishing set up and knew the long term effects of not having it.
lol they did em dirty we that outro
“If other cats made me make another me.”
If he took a line from you make another line, hook, song, album.
@@theseoulgoode yeah. People who use this logic are weird
It's crazy how much fuckery JayZ has attached to his name....
I spoke to this brother in 2010. jay gave him 15 grand. in sparks nut azz took it without a contract.
the homie from State Property!! word!! had no idea he did that hook!
Jay z is one of the grimiest along with puff
p diddy and jay they are fucking piece of shit.. the way they make their billions are so disgusting.. throatcutter businessman robbing people.. murder as well.. p diddy even child molester
Man 😅😅😅
@telj1 do you need an attorney for publishing ? how do you go about getting the publishing right ?
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz got no publishing for the only hit of their career deja vu. Steely Dan demanded 100% of the publishing plus payed 115,00 for the master. They only got money off the show.
Dam
I agree 110% with StreetsStars comment Omillio was a real G for holding his pride and taking it for what it was
Funny how some many people are blind to how sneaky and crooked Jay-Z is.
