Suga Free in sample clearance talks w/ Prince

{{{I've just read that talented westcoast rap-artist Suga Free is in negotiations with Prince. The concerning sample is most probably the famous keyboard melody from "Cool" which Suga Free wants to use for his first single from his upcoming album "The New Testament". This single is also called "Cool" and it features Morris Day and The Time and DJ Quik on production. The album was supposed to drop on March 2nd, but I don't know if this deadline can be met because of the sample clearance talks going on.}}}

Suga Free together w/ Morris Day and the Time produced by DJ Quik is nothing but a dream come true and as far as I see it, Prince should make an exception from his pretty rigorous ideas when it comes to sample clearance (e. g. Bone Thugs 'n' Harmony, Ja Rule etc.). I must admit that the track by Suga Free doesn't live up to my expectations though. You can take a listen on http://www.westcoast2k.net/

I heard that song the other night. He was talking about pimps and fingernails so at first I was like shake. I dont' know about Suga Free so I'll try to be more open-minded. I thought I heard some DJ Quik-ism in there! headbang

Yeah I heard the song like 2 weeks ago...outside of sounding a bit like DJ Quick...the song sucked hard...The structure of one part of that song just does not fit-in 2 well...

The source:

What can I say but this is one of the MOST ANIMATED RAPPER'S ever to hit the seen with lyrics that pull you in and hit the core of street knowledge but at the moment is in talks with Prince over use of a song that Prince for some reason or another doesnt want him to use ,but lets just hope that they can come to some kind of agreement over the use of the song HEARD that its a banging ass song and that's to bad it got locked down well keep an eye on it for you and keep you posted

I take it they meant the song 'Head'. If so, I can imagine why Prince is objecting.

Where's Morris Day on this song?? Also it's a blatant sample and it's talking bout pimps so I doubt it that Prince will approve it.

Prince should not approve this and should sue the motherfucker for fucking with his song! Maybe Prince will approve it to make a bit of extra money, but I hope he doesn't pimp out one of his children like this!
