She said what she said

How can Diane Warren, a songwriter, not know how credits work?

I guess if she writes only her songs she's never had to sample any thus not knowing how they work but it does seem like commen sense lol so I agree 

Also I wish if people were gonna stand up for something like if song wiritng is passionate to her then stand by what you said. It's not like she doesn't have the credibility to back up the **** she is talking. I cringe when people back down if you realized you were wrong then say that but don't back peddle

[Stefani]

She shouldn't have apologized since it only makes the Hive feel like they have influence. She should've either ignored them or told them to **** off. I would've done the latter, personally.

She made a great point originally; even if some of the songwriters are only given credit for sampling reasons, that's still an absurd amount of people involved in the process of creating one song that isn't even that complex or good tbh.

Truly embarrassing

[jordeezy river red]

Y'all know any rapper would be dragged to the pits if they had this many writers credited on a song.

They accused her of racism. She had to apologise for the sake of her career unfortunately.

For as often as songwriters make contributions and aren't credited, I'm failing to see how everyone involved receiving credit is the more embarrassing choice.

Edited. Thanks.

[Fabricio Alex]

(i know the samples count but.... so... how many samples they used?
