IT’S A BAAAAATTLE!!! Both of these great songs use the same beat by Ayatollah. While the beat is actually so dope it stands to be in two separate songs you gotta imagine there’s some industry rule #4080 shadiness going on behind the double duty. Yep. Apparently record companies being shady extends to the independents as well. According to HipHop-Element.com Cash Brown and Ayatollah were both cut out of the loop before the instrumental got used with Styles and Pharoahe for ESPN. Without their consent the record company doubled down and doubled up, without their consent or need for it cuz, wait for it…contracts son, contracts. Sign one. No verbals. Cash Brown should have taken his own advice from his song “Pay Me.” That’s the life.
