So Vanilla Ice was right and wrong. Michael did buy Beatles music and also owned half of Sony music which was Eminem, Beyoncé, bjork , beck, etc. (He bought Eminems publishing after Em dissed MJ and MJ got Ems video pulled down.) And MJ owned his own music…..bought Beatles for 45 million……BUT after MJ passed a few years later his estate SOLD his half of Sony back to Sony for 850 MILLION! 600% profit. But they (the MJ estate) kept the publishing of Michael’s music. That ATV catalogue is worth 1.5 to 2 Billion now. Michael Jackson estate has made about 2.5billion since his death

This guy has kept his shit together after all these years. Respect !

I'm not holding it against him, but the funniest video ever is him at the time telling MTV News that the songs are totally different. "Theirs is dun dun dun chucka dun dun...and mine is dun dun dun....chucka dun dun. See? Totally different?"

What he said about Michael Jackson having his publishing together. Facts!!! That's why he's the King Of Pop. People get caught up with the soft voice, the incredible vocalist, the dynamic dancing, the impeccable shows. They tend to forget how savvy he was with his business choices. He was calculated. Had a great team of people who he put to work. He usurped the business with his pubishing game. He zoned in on that. Once he discovered the key to his generation wealth. He went for it. He did records for his following. He didn't have to anymore. But, he did. But, the publishing game. Michael went in deep. The King Of Pop. Hands Down!!

All these years, I had no idea he bought the rights to that song and actually does make money from it. Fair play

Hip hop was built off of sampling, it literally especially in the 80’s and 90’s wouldn’t have existed without sampling, most of the hit rap songs from the 80’s and 90’s were samples of hit songs from the 60’s and 70’s I’ve always been amazed how all those rappers got away with it???

Good to see him recognised. Vlad should do a publishing seminar type of interview allowing some young artist to ask questions to some experienced artist and lawyers about publishing and record deals.

Glad he explained how publishing works to a degree... Ppl think Diddy giving the Bad Boy artists they're publishing back was a play since the artists who are broke claim that it's "worthless," but it's a long play tbh. Publishing has to be worked. Not all rap pub is worth anything at all because not everyone can create a piece of "timeless" pub. Think about how many times you've heard "Return of the Mack," or "Ante Up" play in a commercial or film. Those are great pieces of rap publishing, as are "Ice, Ice, Baby," "It's Tricky," etc
