Music Legal: WTF? Why Kid Capri DEMANDS His Martin Show Royalties After 33 Years! (Debate: Letting business go for friends?)




:idea:

Kid shoulda asked for his money from day one. Its NOT Martin's money its the studio's. Kid Capri claims he let it go this long out of ignorance or friendship? If its friendship? No matter what Martin said at the special... let it go.

33 years later bruh? What a jackass.

I don't know WHAT to think.

If you were cool for over 3 decades with it why get mad over what Martin said now?

That means you were ALWAYS secretly mad.

You trying to say you were the bigger man and cool and it meant nothing to you at the time and 33 years later... it does?

I don't know if there is a statute of limitations on copyright etc in this case.

But Capri NEVER should have been "cool" in the first place. It wasn't Martin's MONEY to begin with.

PERSONALLY? I think Capri thought if he said anything to complain they would probably just REMOVE his voice and he would no longer be connected to the show and "look bad" in front of people (i don't know who exactly) for complaining.

a cut throat business combined with everyone acting like theyre your friend is a HORRIBLE COMBINATION and the cause for ALOT of FUCKERY!!
 
Oh this aint NEW???!!!





“Any that knows me would know it’s me,” Capri said at the 36:30 mark of the podcast. “And it would be foolish to say it’s anybody else. I think Martin overstepped his boundaries, number one, by taking something that belonged to me without getting my permission.”

Capri, who was the house DJ for Def Comedy Jam and one of the premier DJs in the industry, said his quarrel is not about money but more about respect and business.

“They went and took my property. You got everybody wandering around the country saying ‘Martinnnnnn,’” he continued and claimed was a cool feat to have accomplished. “But to go and take it and then get on your show later on and have Tisha Campbell say on Fox Soul that that wasn’t Capri, that’s Cole, um, and then you get on your show in your reunion to say it wasn’t me, it’s a blatant slap in the face and a disrespect to me.”

Hold on wait a minute... @dik cashmere @ViCiouS

doesn't Def Jam HBO Russel Simmons OWN that audio?

NOT Kid Capri?

HBO produced the show so they OWN that audio, right???

MAYBE if Capri is a member of SAG (at the time) he would get residuals NOT royalties.

Eddie Van Halen played the guitar on Michael Jackson's Beat It. For no money. Kid Capri got the biggest glow up/blow up for a DJ & "Mixtape Artist", of the 90's off the "Matrin" show. I am disappointed to know he didn't make money for his intellectual content. I just hope he's been properly riding the wave over all these years. He was naive at the time is what this amounts to.

I'm glad to see esco has gotten clue on the show because he's said a million and one times how their bestfriends and he has industry hookups.

Clue has a big ass head and I'd much rather hear his voice on a tape than see him asking someone questions.....

It's money and it's outta martins hands so it's time to collect.Martin's show,he didn't have the best relationships with people he worked with,Cole,Stan and whoever else that just hasn't come out and said anything and if true than fuck Martin,he's never been strong with that mic and an audience that's why he was a host,television comedian.
