In a firm statement, reps of the late icon said they were “deeply disappointed,” stressing that Jackson’s catalogue is closely guarded to protect both copyright and legacy.
They stated:
“Michael Jackson’s music is protected by copyright and by a legacy that is carefully managed to honor his artistic vision,” the statement read. “The unauthorized sampling and alteration of ‘Beat It’ undermines that legacy and violates the rights of the Estate.”
The track, a standout from ‘Thriller,’ famously fused pop and rock and featured a blistering guitar solo from Eddie Van Halen.
The estate added it has “zero tolerance” for unlicensed use and is weighing legal options. Music lawyers note that recognizable samples require clearance of both composition and master recording.
The Lord is gon judge this girl so hard. She has put soo much immorality, and low class behavior into the atmosphere, and corrupted so many women and girls it’s not even funny. She is getting ahead for herself, but the cost in the end will be so much she won’t be able to pay. I pray Dirty Fred wakes up, and turns from her wicked ways before it’s too late.
