Can I let my inner backpacker live? Copywrite, The High & Mighty, The Weathermen man, that was my s**t in the early 2000’s. Copywrite and The High & Mighty were right in the thick of the Rawkus Records explosion, and Copywrite maybe best known to the underground at large for his part on “B-Boy Document” also featuring Mos Def and Skillz. Anyway, his debut LP was put out with The High & Mighty, and yesterday he released an 8th Anniversary edition. I guess not everything remained copacetic over the last 8 years, and Copywrite has had some problems with his former label. The story goes:
“After over a year of trying to work with Mighty Mi to take T.H.E. High Exhaulted off of I tunes and getting no where, Copywrite has finally erupted. Copywrite had approached Milo over a year ago about wanting to re-release his debut album since there was never a formal contract between the two he felt there would be no issue. Milo however felt differently and would not give Copywrite permission to include a couple of the tracks that Milo had done production for on the re-release. Copywrite accepted that but insisted that T.H.E High Exhaulted be taken down off of I Tunes and anywhere else Milo might have it for sale. A year later Milo still has not done this. “Poorly Promote This” was born out of Copywrite’s frustration with how Milo and Eon handled the promotion of his first record and the recent chatter that has been heard about him re-releasing his classic debut.”
He explains more in the diss track located after the jump.
