Bye Bye BPI - Dan Bull[00:00:00]
Lyricist:Dan Bull[00:00:00]
Composer:Benny Aves[00:00:01]
This is addressed to Geoff Taylor of the BPI[00:00:01]
Thanks to STB for the beat[00:00:05]
You're the BPI's VIP and you've[00:00:06]
Picked a fight with TPB[00:00:07]
But P2P's too deep to preclude don't you see[00:00:08]
You can't stop it[00:00:11]
You won't stop it[00:00:12]
You won't block it[00:00:13]
So find another way to lie[00:00:14]
And line your own pocket[00:00:15]
Most of us have composed a lot no profit[00:00:16]
99 of us will never have a pop hit[00:00:18]
It's not rocket science so don't knock it[00:00:21]
And don't pretend like you're being philanthropic[00:00:24]
Talent isn't rare it doesn't need protection[00:00:26]
Any claim to the contrary is pure condescension[00:00:29]
A con deception the wrong perception[00:00:31]
Propagated by a proper dong[00:00:34]
It's evident[00:00:35]
Go to any pub[00:00:36]
In any town[00:00:37]
In any cunty[00:00:38]
And count the musicians[00:00:39]
Doing it without need[00:00:40]
For some rudes in suits[00:00:42]
Sh*tting on our scene[00:00:45]
And sticking in the boot[00:00:46]
So you can stop telling me stuff[00:00:47]
Put your money where your mouth is[00:00:48]
And take a salary cut[00:00:50]
'Cause I'll happily put your[00:00:51]
Cash into the hat of a busker[00:00:53]
The BPI doesn't give a f**k for[00:00:55]
Look I've studied your[00:01:17]
Justifications of what you seem to think[00:01:18]
There couldn't be a clearer case of circular reasoning[00:01:20]
You judge talent by how well they're selling[00:01:22]
But they're only selling from[00:01:25]
How well you're selling them[00:01:26]
You think adele'd have reached where she was[00:01:28]
Without the media machine feeding the buzz[00:01:30]
You say artist should get[00:01:33]
Paid for the work they do[00:01:34]
But you only care about the[00:01:35]
Ones that bring in revenue[00:01:36]
If the bottom line is the sign of a good artist[00:01:38]
The why the need to manipulate the market[00:01:40]
So Pro laissez faire[00:01:43]
You recommend protectionism[00:01:44]
Where's your decision[00:01:45]
On which method it is or isn't[00:01:46]
The only way your in today's position[00:01:48]
Is through decades of ripping of plagiarism[00:01:50]
But now the next generation's risen[00:01:53]
You're complaining[00:01:55]
Hey we need to change the system[00:01:56]
These crazy kids and their disco dancing[00:01:58]
It isn't legitimate[00:02:00]
If we haven't cleared the sampling[00:02:01]
But surely sampling is always a bad thing[00:02:03]
Not just when the bank accounts need balancing[00:02:06]
And if MC's are paid related to their talent[00:02:08]
How come I make a fraction of what[00:02:11]
T Pain is selling[00:02:12]
If I re made a ballad with sheen[00:02:13]
Aimed at amorous teenagers[00:02:15]
Daniel'd be famous now but it isn't gonna happen[00:02:16]
So I'll stick to rapping with integrity[00:02:19]
Something your industry is lacking[00:02:22]
Ask any MC or composer[00:02:49]
Piracy[00:02:50]
Yes Please it's the only method I know to my VSTs[00:02:51]
Nothing is proportionate the prices are extortionate[00:02:55]
To lawfully produce only a portion can afford the stuff[00:02:57]
I'm sure that cutting off connections and dealing bans[00:02:59]
Would leave the music scene desolate completely bland[00:03:02]
Innovation comes from underground[00:03:04]
Where there ain't much money round[00:03:06]
So we resort to lawlessness to make the funny sounds[00:03:07]
And then of course all that goes around comes around[00:03:10]
The majors wander round and plunder from the underground[00:03:12]
See you need us as much as we need you[00:03:15]
And that might not be much depending on your view[00:03:17]
I was once on the tube once and overheard a conversation[00:03:20]
Between two rec execs planning exploitation[00:03:22]
A singer had passed on[00:03:25]
So they tacked a crap track onto the back catalogue[00:03:26]
And laughed a lot[00:03:29]
I thought I can't believe it this is a mix up[00:03:30]
I'm literally listening to paint a vulgar picture[00:03:32]
That the BPI can leave a site on the net censored[00:03:35]
Is an incredibly terrible threat to the new tech sector[00:03:38]
Now there's a industry that really needs fighting for[00:03:40]
They're the future you're just a wounded dinosaur[00:03:43]
Tchaikovsky didn't need the BPI[00:04:21]
Stravinsky didn't need the BPI[00:04:23]
Verdi didn't need the BPI[00:04:26]
Vivaldi didn't need the BPI[00:04:28]
Rossini didn't need the BPI[00:04:31]
Debussy didn't need the BPI[00:04:33]
Puccini didn't need the BPI[00:04:36]
So why do we need the BPI[00:04:39]
I don't need the BPI[00:04:42]
Homeless busker doesn't need the BPI[00:04:45]
British music doesn't need the BPI[00:04:48]
The future doesn't need the BPI[00:04:51]
You don't need the BPI[00:04:54]
We don't need the BPI[00:04:56]
They don't need the BPI[00:04:58]
The BPI needs the BPI[00:05:01]
Bye bye BPI[00:05:04]
Bye bye BPI[00:05:07]
Bye bye BPI[00:05:11]
