Its A Pity Em Doesnt Work With Bass Brothers Anymore

[Mikey1990]

they really helped
em stopped working with them in 2007
interscope didnt pay them

The Bass brothers’ Michigan-based F.B.T. Productions, along with Em2M LLC, claim that the labels have failed to pay at least $1 million dollars in back royalties, from master recordings of the musical performances by Eminem.

Em2M is owned by Joel Martin, who also operates Eminem’s publishing company, 8 Mile Style.

F.B.T. signed Eminem to an exclusive artist’s recording agreement in 1995.

Three years later, F.B.T. signed an agreement with Aftermath Entertainment, agreeing to furnish Aftermath the exclusive services of Eminem.

Eminem also signed an agreement acknowledging and approving the deal between F.B.T. and Aftermath, in order for Dr. Dre to obtain Eminem’s exclusive services.

The rapper then assumed all of F.B.T.’s obligations to Aftermath and Aftermath then assumed all of F.B.T.’s obligations to Eminem.

The lawsuit claims that all parties agreed that F.B.T. would remain an income participant in all future releases by Eminem and that royalties earned from Eminem’s releases would be paid to F.B.T., Martin’s Em2M and Eminem.

The Michigan-based companies claim that the labels erroneously charged certain productions costs and other expenses to them, when they should have been billed directly to Eminem.

The errors, which the lawsuit states have been acknowledging by the labels, resulted in an underpayment in millions of dollars in royalties to their companies.

The Bass Brothers, who are being represented by Los Angeles based attorneys Paul H. Duvall and Mark Block, seek an undisclosed amount in damages that could be determined by a jury, if the case goes to trial.

[Jens14]

Yeah, they made great beats

[EminemBase]

They're the ones truly responsible for grooming Em and they're the ones who've done all of Em's best work with him. Not Dre. Wish he still worked with them.

[dR3]

Yeah, they made great beats

Did you not read the article the OP posted?

The Bass Bros weren't getting paid properly for their services from the label, so things have soured between them and Em.

[EminemBase]

^ I don't think there's actual tension between them and Em.

Since Jeff Bass co-produced "Beautiful" with him. And they said about 'Relapse' that it was Em trying to go back to rapping off the top of his head, like on MMLP.

So they must still be around him occasionally.

Luis Resto =

If R2 is a classic, he will have helped produce it. No doubt.

No i didnt. Thanks

[2sDay]

Fuck the Bass Bros. Dre is the man.

[LLockhart86]

Bass Bros >>> Dre.

Seriously. Dre makes good beats, but the Bass Bros are awesome.

SSLP best beats he ever rapped on

[EminemBase]

Bass Bros >>> Dre.

Seriously. Dre makes good beats, but the Bass Bros are awesome.

Absolutely. People are blinded and deluded into thinking Dre picked Em up from the dirt, moulded him and created beat after beat for him.

When in reality, that was the Bass Bros. Nearly everything on SSLP is by them and Eminem. Much of the work on MMLP too.

They've done all Em's best work with him. They're fantastic producers.
