Harlem Shake Down


In the article “Surprise hit was a shock for artists heard on it” by James C. McKinley Jr tells about how the new upcoming artist Harry Bauer Rodrigues is being sewed by Hector Delgado and Jayson Musson for using their voice in his new song/dance “Harlem Shake.” Which had became a hit song which sold 816,000 digital downloads. “Both Musson and Mr. Delgado are seeking compensation from Mad Decent Records.”  For Jayson Musson ,a formal rapper from Philadelphia who voice was used to call out the key phrase “ Do the Harlem shake “ and  he wasn’t alone in this, Mr. Delgado voice is “clearly heard on “ Harlem Shake” too. Courts are saying even a little sample of a person music, the artist is in titled to royalties of any amount the request. “Mr. Delgado has yet to take legal action against the Philadelphia producers, whose remix was not a hit. Mr Gomez said” In conclusion , i think that Hector Delgado should have used there voice without permission but everyone is blowing outta proportion , he can just split his budget that he get on his record, and forget all about it , he's a new artist, give him his props.,

  1. Good post, but a bit short. Can you make a connection a all? Has anyone ever used your work without permission? How did you feel? 80
