You never credited me as co-producer of The Vengabus and I'm still sore about that, so I'm going to release a documentary in 2028 calling you out on that.

Sure, to out someone like this can viewed as pretty immature/greedy whatever..

But.. the motivation behind outing something does not undermine wether the claim is true or not. IF Derrick only remixed (not produced) those tracks he should be outed. Too many stories of bullies getting away with immoral decisions (especially in the music industry). With that said I hope Thomas can back these allegations (for his sake, I don't really care one way or the other).

Time will tell..

Smacks of desperation to me. It's in the past. Look at Dilla producing for Janet Jackson and some other prick claiming it. This shit is going on all the time. Cesspool. Sharks left, right and centre.

There will always be some greedy cunt ready to claim credit for shit she/he didn't do ..

I guess back then it was harder to keep track of stems and mixdowns etc as everything was on tape and just handed around I guess.

Still, no excuse either way.

sure sounds like you're saying that's cool then?
Not at all, it's dishonesty. That's not cool in my book.
I guess people have different takes on what dishonest means and dress it up with excuses or build a context around the situation to excuse or play down the extent of their actions.
I suppose, when I think about it, everyone does this in tiny amounts on a daily basis but there's no excuse for blatantly robbing someones work or claiming crexit for something that you didn't do ..

Reminds me of this, another case of not crediting an artist but this response by Gerald is pretty cool.
