I made that record and video as nothing more than an 18 year old kid who wanted to rhyme and pay homage, no other intentions.<br \/>\n2. Finesse and I spoke on the phone for an hour after he heard the record and cleared the air. We even planned to work on music together.<br \/>\n3. All I wanted to do is shed light on a generation that inspired me.<br \/>\n4. When I heard there was a problem, I reached out to him to try and solve it. No response.<br \/>\n5. Finesse never cleared the Oscar Peterson sample on the original record. I did nothing wrong. We spoke on the phone had a good conversation, he was cool with the record. It\u2019s all love tho. I ain\u2019t even mad at dude. He still a legend.<br \/>\nLord Finesse, thank you for what u did for hip hop. Thank you for bringing my favorite rapper into the game. I should just drop some new music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>1. I appreciate Mac\u2019s kind words but his people did not handle his business correctly.<br \/>\n2. Basics \u2013 Mixtapes are one thing, but you can\u2019t take someone\u2019s else\u2019s entire song, shoot a music video and call it your own.<br \/>\n3. Mac\u2019s on the top of his game right now. I wish him the best in Europe and I hope to hear from him besides on Twitter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mac Miller sampled Lord Finesse&#8217;s Hip 2 Da Game for the song Kool Aid &#038;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-dXd","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
