Portishead Lashes Out At The Weeknd Over Unauthorized Sample
. "When someone asks to sample you and you refuse they should have the respect as a fellow artist to not use it," Barrow tweeted about "Belong to the World," which liberally samples the Portishead song "Machine Gun," from the band's 2008 studio album, Third. "We usually give sample clearance to tunes we like," he continued. "It's got f*** all to do with money! As most of them are hip-hop artist(s) that are skint." "Feels like I'm being used to promote the track now…I'll shut up now," Barrow added via Twitter, before retweeting a pair of insults from a fan of the Weeknd and finally tweeting out, "enough of this total bulls***. Something real," adding a link to Doctors Without Borders and Access to the Danger Zone, a documentary narrated by Daniel Day-Lewis that "provides a harrowing look at the challenges of delivering humanitarian aid in armed conflicts." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
