not a real thread worthy topic but i'm betting the farm they didn't get clearance for that.

I don't see why Ghostface would get paid for this anyway. No lyrics, just a Doom beat that was used years before Ghostface had it.

Because it's licensed on an album and Doom owns the rights. Doom should be getting paid but was it ever released on a real album where Fishscale was?

I'm sure that beat was on dozens of those Special Herbs comps he put out.
Those don't count, or did you mean major label albums?

The NBA hosts their teams site but I'm sure each team is responsible for their own site because each one is usually done different.

Who knows.

The NBA has a recent history of using indie rap instrumentals. I think if they were jacking beats and not paying we'd have known about it by now. They were using RJD2 instrumentals a few years ago.

That beat was also used for a great remix of "Ante Up."

who knows if its doom specifically, but i'm sure whoever owns the royalties on the instrumental is getting payed (quite possibly could be someone at def jam, i doubt they'd let fat beats or whoever put the MIC shit out keep the royalties on it)......

i'd think the nba can afford to pay whatever liscencing fees they have to to prevent possible lawsuits resulting from an advertisement they WANT people to see.....if you noticed, i'm sure the NBA already realized someone associated with def jam, ghostface or doom could happen to end up finding out about this
