did Hammer have to get Prince or Warner Bros. permission to use When Doves Cry?, I havent heard any other Prince samples, not even from P Diddy.

Prince is credited as co-writer. Same on "soft and wet".

I dont think mc hammer got any premissions for any of his songs b4 they were released.

I think the royalty rate is fixed regardless

Most of that album had samples or re-recorded songs

cant touch this
have u seen her
pray
soft and wet

asg said:

I have no idea about that, but the publishing does share the song though. And alot of rappers before hammer didn't give credit to james brown or whoever, so it ain't that bad.

never heard Hammers Soft & Wet version, was it on the radio?
