I had the chance to work as a production assistant on a few rocafella projects in the early 2000's and I can say out of all the Roc artists, Omilio was the coolest, always showed me love and greeted me with respect. This is unfortunate, because if anyone deserved millions, it was him.

Jay ran in the studio and told sparks "give it to me"

"Give it to me". Number #1 single that help sell the Dynasty album.

Damn, that’s dirty. Sounds like jay knew what he was doing...

“I’ll probably make more money off your album than you” - Hov.

its krazy that he could still keep a smile on his face through all of this.

One thing I don't like about business is some people can make a $100 million and won't give the people who helped a little cash just to let them know they appreciate it. I'm not saying give them half but at least give them a taste. The sad part is people think that's the right way to do business.

It's no secret those guys steal to get to the top. It doesn't matter me as a ethical person I would pay him his due even if he's too ignorant to know better

I like his responses to the questions asked of him. He basically states that he didn't have his business straight and JAY-Z took advantage of that particular situation. He also states that he has publishing company up and running so he now he knows what to expect in the future.

Industry rule #4080, record company people are shadyyyyyy.

I’m glad I have my publishing as an independent writer, but after seeing this I hurried up, and turned it into a company.🤔💯 (THANKS FOR The INFO)

Got him photo shopped into the studio lol. Too funny. But real talk Sparks ripped those "Tales of a Hustla'" on Beanie's albums. Part 1 and 2 are in my top 25 favorite songs. Clearin' my conscious in the liquor store, with a 5th of thunderbird, and I be guzzlin' hard!"

“It’s was a old record I was working on” as in an old Rick James record.

Man, all it takes is one song. Dude lost out on millions with this one. Damn, that sucks bruh. We aint gone all be stars or make 9 figures in life, but one song that blows up like this, man ur set for life. Well, should be.

I know I'm late by 9 years but that's how the game goes 💯

I'm still surprised Jay Z let Vlad keep this video up after all these years

Lol that jz line at the end.. that was cold😂😂😂

Everybody saying its business. Just because its business don't mean its good business. Would you would want to work on a label where the artist is the CEO without your best interest? Someone who cared for you would let you peep game. When Omillio starting peeping game about his paper he started having arguments with Dame. The lox battled for over 10 years with Puff to get theirs. He was still making money off them when they went over to Ruff Ryders.

Crazy how people use the it's business line to justify how dirty Camel be doing his mates

He got that hook from Rick James' song "Give it to me baby."

Jay-Z did the same thing to Ja Rule on Can I getta MF be so geeked to work with Jay on some celebrity ish forget it’s business first never personal

I guess when he says "that was the big homey" he meant "if I don't give Jay this record, who is the label CEO, he gone let me sit on the label for years without dropping my album or feature on songs with other artists on the label" unless someone comes in and do a buyout on my contract. Saigon said something similar happened to him in a interview.

Lmfao Vlad silly for the Last soundbyte. Lol.

People got to understand, just because you have talent dont mean you are business savvy. These guys were street dudes trying to get out the hood. They had the talent all they needed was a shot. They didn't know anything about the music business, they just wanted to rap and make music. You live and you learn. I respect this dude for taking the punch and keeping it moving. Sometimes getting burned teaches you a lesson so it doesn't happen again. This is a business, it's not a game.

*Don't chase the money chase knowledge in your profession and the money will come.* * Jay didn't take advantage of Omillio on a personal level but he took advantage of his *Lack Of Knowledge In His Field/Occupation/Business etc.* * People think that it would be cool to work in the entertainment business, and it is... but first *seek knowledge or instructions on how to navigate in whatever field you choose.* * *Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,* *for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare* *with her.* *Prov. **8:10**-11*

That "Give It To Me" hook was from Rick James

I hope he doing well I like how he views things and express himself.

homie admitted that he messed up and should've had his publishing correct. yall saying that he should sue etc. but if you're signed to his label and wanna stay on his label because you know its in your best interest then why would you do that and get on his bad side! just learn the lesson and move forward!

Awww shit look at my nigga from state property this nigga was gangsta asf in those movies

Well all he had to do was call up ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC and "say I got a single out and how do I sign up." He need to not let this shit linger a get a lawyer and sue for back pay because the longer he let this shit slide the judge gone be like "you just now doing this?"

That’s why I wouldn’t sign no contract yooo a contract is setup

My mans Omillio what up, glad too see you bro

they didn't think it was gone be a hit. jay knew it and ducked that man

Damn that’s crazy. It’s enough to go around especially those who help you. But everyone don’t see it that way.

respect baby boy. thx 4 sharing and staying humble. lesson learned.

@DopeButtaTV Despite that circumstance, I like how Omillio has shown that he's long since dealt with it and not become bitter or resentful because of it. Omillio said, "you live and you learn through experience" and that's so true. Sometimes you can't be on point 100%. You have to go throught trial and error, take a loss or two to build up experience in general and alot of people seem to forget that.

How did they not know that was the entire Rick James breakdown lol

he's just chilling in the studio

The chorus for the Jay-Z song is an interpolation of "Give it to Me Baby" by Rick James from the "Street Songs album (the album that "Super Freak" is on)

Yo! how can I get that instrumental playing in the back. That joint was fire!!!

"You remember how you came up with that?"He said everything except that he got it from a Rick James song...

what goes around comes back around that's dead wrong how jay z does people money ???damn he already had money when this record came out .. greedy ass!

Brugh peep the background I’m dead 😵 😂

i love the background. that shit cracks me up

Why is he in front of a green screen? Lol

that sample at the end was bananas!

Beautiful studio!

What people must realize is that in order for you to get to a level like Jay Z is on, you have to step on people's necks! I'm not condoning that but that's just the way it is! Why do you think him and Beyonce click? Beyonce stepped on the necks of the 2 original Des Chi members so she could be the main attraction! They are one in the same! However, the chickens always come home to roost!

Sparks wasn't entitled to publishing for that joint because the hook was sampled from Rick James, like he said.

VLAD Petty 😂Omillio Told You Jay- Z Knew His Publishing Wasn't Set Up and Then You Play 4:12

Truth is this guy is one of the funniest actors ever he should do movies full time

The screen in the back looks funny. LOL!

Everyone's missing the point. Omilio did not own that hook. He stole it from Rick James. That's why when he went to Jay for a check Jay said "Rick James" because Jay learned that what he thought Omilio made up was actually stolen intellectual rights. Jay paid the correct owner of the lyrics

Hearing a lot of stories about Jay-Z being grimmy!

For real! Him & Painintheass need to be doing movies right now.

Where can i get that movie "LYRIC " that was filmed in philly.

You ain’t gotta be sneaky when you own yourself!!!

Hm so he sign you to pick off you and control you. like choke know joke stated

lol they did em dirty we that outro

@telj1 do you need an attorney for publishing ? how do you go about getting the publishing right ?

The sad thing is that this happens to so many young and inexperienced people in the Biz..... and because you dont have honest people this is what happens. so sad

He did that to all state property. Grimey!!!! That's some snake shiiiit.

Actually I was there day you spit that hook we was in baseline that day..when We got there right after he record it...I think violates...they was in baseline it was where downtown new your......I remember roc-a-fella days like yesterday

Yo green screened a studio in the background lmao

that's sad because he didn't even need to get publishing on the record. Jay-Z could of easily given him writers credit for it with him having a publishing company.

If you take care of your business you won't get hoed

You have a great attitude and talent.

That green screen crazy 😂

Some say it’s business, I say it’s dirty.

Jay-z took the feelin it song from Ski and Camp Lo.

Yeah that was a Rick James tag... He knew that 😂 😂

that's how the music business works..it's cut throat..all the top people keep the money and the artist is the last to get paid..and the artist doesn't even get money..they usually get material compensation..(an expensive car/chain/clothes..etc)...especially with hip hop artists.

Jay Z did dirty business, it’s like he wasn’t trying to put people on but once they got a buzz he was trying to take their buzz for himself. Camron tells the story of Jay Z just throwing a verse on “Oh Boy” without clearing anything by anyone and Cam got rid of it because Jay Z got rid of Cam’s verse on a Peedi Crakk track. Jay Z treated grown men like kids.

Wow I didn't know that.... Damn that's dirty

@TheToraman888 thats a real book? if so, can you please tell me where i can find it

The Hov verse at the end vlad enjoyed putting that in there

Rick James already had the publishing right to super freak , Hov knew that.

BABY BOY DA WILD CARD I KEEP DA A.B.M IN DA GAME👶👶♦♥♣😂😂😂

sup wit that green screen?

the song is called i just wanna love u(give it 2 me)

" my publishing company was not set up at the time" ,shot himself in the foot on that one. That was one of his most successful singles today, he could have ate off of that single alone for the rest of his life. He could have made millions off of that one single especially since he provided the hook for the song , that's a damn shame. You never go to these major labels or major label artists without a lawyer in tow in every single meeting or studio that you enter without a contract ready to sign on anything that you do including hooks and instrumentals. We would be hearing a lot of unreleased good music right now if all of these rappers knew that before they signed any of these contract smh

The industry is infested with snakes

damn does anyone know a video or site where i can learn and brush up on these things for future references?

What is that beat in the background?

worse green screen effect

Jay z took advantage of everybody he could...witch has landed him where he is....on top....and cat act like he anit have no help.... SMH he try to talk about "black excellence"......he didn't wanna be below or on the same level as no one around him....I don't see anything wrong with that but it's how u achieve that goal and how u handle your power when you've reached that level......my opinion 🤞

Knowledge is power. Study the business before joining the business.

the homie from State Property!! word!! had no idea he did that hook!

bro not even in a real studio

BABY BOY!! Lol

whats with the green screen studio

lol the outro

The Roc had a roster of talent but Kanye was the only 1 who knew how to write hit records. Roc ended over 10 years ago and none of them dropped not 1 hit record yet. All they doing is dropping videos bout what this and that person did and didn't do. Roc gave all them momentum and they couldn't sustain it.

How is it Jay's fault his publishing company wasn't set up?

i agree live and learn

got my man in front of a green screen 🤣

“If other cats made me make another me.” If he took a line from you make another line, hook, song, album.

This title is misleading. He's less saying that someone stole from him,more that he didnt have his OWN affairs in order. And Give it to Me was far from his 2nd largest record in his career. And it's stupid to think anyone can make MILLIONS from a single, so he didnt loose that much. He shouldve used to opportunity to do more music. Look at Nate Dogg, he figured it out.

Must be the B room studio he was talking about in the back

He wasn't going to get publishing for that anyway. That was a Rick James line from "Give it to me baby." If he got upfront money then he was better off. At any rate, even without his publishing company setup, he should have gotten writing royalties from a PRO (ASCAP, BMI, Etc). That would have been half of the total performance money he would get. Gotta know the business dudes!
