Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything" was one of the biggest hit records of 2012, helping to propel the rapper into the spotlight. But where did that hypnotizing beat come from?
In a recent interview with Vlad TV, Too Short sat down to talk about his song "I Luv," which is claimed to be slowed-down sample for Trinidad's "All Gold Everything." He says he didn't even know about the song until he looked up his own single.
"At one point I went to look up the video that's out now, the new version, and mine popped up right next to it so somebody knows something," Too Short said. "Fourteen years later I'm just checking it out and the 'All Gold Everything' song comes on and it was the first time I ever heard it and I was like, 'Whoa,' because it's very distinct."
Too Short says that he too got inspiration from music that was released before his time and is fine with Trinidad James using his song. "I can't tell you how many times I've turned to Parliament Funkadelic for inspiration and actually just outright and replayed or sampled a song," he said. "As long as we take care of everything properly it's all love."
The West Coast rapper most recently teamed with E-40 to release a pair of collaborative albums, History: Mob Music and History: Function Music. The former bowed at No. 71 and the latter at No. 62, selling 5,700 and 6,500 copies, respectively.

Yo I ain't heard this song in a minute, i pulled out all my cd cases and played this song and it does sound like All Gold sampled this.

annnndddddddddd like he said samplin is apart of hiphop.

? up part is Trinidad said he just ganked the beats offline somewhere. There's a dude that put thought into that ? , and he's made one man a star and caught recognition from a legend with no one shouting him out once. Ain't that some ? .

Good. That's the best response to being sampled. Let the ? go.

He still wants his money...He said "as long as erthing gets handled properly"...But I know what you mean...All these outrageous lawsuits make no sense in the world of music...It's sposed to be bout creativity...It's one thing of somebody just blatantly steals/ruins your ideas, but other than that, let the art be the art... -

Yea, I caught that part. Short just comes off as not being another bitter ass old rapper. He giving him time to work out a reasonable deal without going str8 2 a courtroom & filiing a 50-elem million dollar lawsuit.
How is he being bitter? Its business. You wouldnt like if someone found success using your material and you not seeing a dime. -
