If you take hip hop/rap music seriously, and If you appreciate the work that I do, help me continue… And help me to expand my network to include more contributors and writers. I created a GoFundMe to help pay for the print costs for my book ‘The Art of Sampling Tradition of Hip Hop/Rap Music and Copyright Law, 3rd Edition.’ This is the 2nd step in expanding the BeatTips Network, my network of hip hop publications that take an in-depth, hard hitting, and no nonsense approach to hip hop writing. All book sales go directly to paid opportunities for writers and contributors. So please donate to my GoFundMe. $5, $10, $25, whatever you can do; it will go a long way. More importantly, it will let me know who’s locked in with me… -Said gofund.me/36ed08714

In fact, hip hop/rap music's very existence is an example of the sort of thing that copyright law seeks to promote.” (from ‘The Art of Sampling: The Sampling Tradition of Hip Hop/Rap Music and Copyright Law, 3rd Edition’)
