Munchi speaks on Azealia Banks & "Esta Noche"
Quote:
The drama between Munchi and Azealia Banks continues over her "Esta Noche" single. While he was outspoken on Twitter yesterday when the whole thing came to light, Munchi also released an official statement outlining exactly how he feels about it all. You can read that below.
"Damn yo, I have nothing to hide and I do not have a team of people backing me to calculate the best way to portray my words. I just have my mind, my words and the facts.
I feel extremely bad for Montell Jordan, Claudja Berry and all of the people at Interscope and Polydor who were very helpful in trying to make a solution to this ****, but if you get disrespected 11 times over a course of a couple of months -more than half being in 1 day- things will get extremely difficult.
Especially when the artist in question starts a Twitter beef by saying that it’s my fault that the release is not going through, while she is the one who put out a cover and a statement that it was going to be released the next day. This when nothing was confirmed yet.
Matter of fact – everything was done backwards, instead of having the decency to contact me about it first, they did everything they had to do and contacted me last.
Expecting that I would go for the money right away – the way of the industry. Even when all of the things were said on Twitter by Azealia, the label was doing everything to solve the situation – it was too late to solve though.
I have been extremely patient and willing to solve this problem over time, but there is a limit. If she wants to be a spoiled brat about it, don’t be surprised if I will get difficult towards her as well.
In regards to the sample of Claudja and Montell:
It’s very simple, I made a remix of one of my favorite tracks in the world and put it out in 2010.
I did not want to release it, because I did not want to disrespect the artists – it was just my interpetation of this track made for the club. It was supported by a lot of big names back then including Skrillex and a staple in the Moombahton genre.
Now the issue comes that I noticed Azealia using the track in her Fantasea mixtape in which the beats were being selected by Diplo and her. Nobody told me anything prior to the release. My intention was never to make this an actual release and I did not like what she did to it.
The only thing I would’ve asked for is proper credits and a say in the creative process – something taboo, but I have to have it clear what I want to affiliate my name with and with what not.
I also saw claims that it was the same beat as the original sample. I can make it very simple – why does she have to use my version?
She can make the track on the original of Clauja Berry/Montell Jordan. There is no need to hop on the Moombahton hype so bad? Is it because she wants hipster credibility? I do not know.
Her and her camp were the ones who wanted the track, for me it was absolutely not necessary.
This is not to way to handle such a request. I don’t need their money, fame or success for the price of my integrity.
It is common in this music business to get ****ed over and a lot of people are afraid to talk out. It is uncommon to speak out and say the reality of situation.
Azealia’s fans I do not and cannot blame – they have been misinformed and it is useless to blame them for something the person they idolize has been doing time after time. Stealing tracks and causing unnecessary drama. T.I., Jim Jones, Iggy and Nicky Minaj were before me. **** man, all this ******** could’ve been avoided. Seems to me that there is definitely something going wrong over there."

Kind of confirms my beliefs on want went down. Interscope DID NOT even attempt to communicate with him until after the single was prepped, and expected him to just accept a deal they threw together at the last minute. Azealia's management is a mess, always has been. She needs to get this **** under control.

I guess he has a reason to be pressed, but his twitter rant was unprofessional.

I see why he's upset, but his rant on twitter was uncalled for.
I think he reacted the wrong way...if someone wants to use your beat, let them. You're a producer...

I sort of get what he's saying. It sucks to be disrespected like that.
But at the same time, if he acknowledges they could just make the track without him by themselves because of the samples, why is he MAD at them for trying to give him credit? They didn't try to screw him out of anything. They literally could have made the song with a different breakdown and released it and paid him dust and he wouldn't have had a case.

Dude, she likes your beat and wanted to use it instead of not giving you any credit.

lol, I get why he's mad but he's milking this ****.
I'm so happy Azealia didn't go off on twitter because it would have been made a bigger deal.
But, that's it I guess. It's not a big deal. We still have it for free, we still get a video, he gets a little publicity & no cash and that's it

Azealia did go off, but in typical fashion she deleted the tweets
