If I re-did "Yesterday" made a hit song and offered The Beatles a chunk of cash to release it they'd say no? I'm just trying to do it for me, because "Yesterday" is one of my favorite songs I'd like to hear my voice with The Beatles. Don't knock what I like to do thats just ignorant. Its like me saying don't wear Throwback Jerseys cuz your not Michael Jordan.

That's probably the stupidest comparison I've ever heard. But anyway...
Firstly, sampling rap music is not the same as sampling music with vocalists, guitarists, drummers, bassists, pianists, or whatever the case may be. They're created from the minds of musicians, not from a computer chair.
Second, the two remaining members of the Beatles have more than enough money to last them for the rest of their lives and then some. I honestly don't think they'd agree with someone sampling a piece of one of their most successful songs with a rap beat behind it and some guy "spittin' flows" for a chunk of change they don't need.
Third. To me, music is art. I expect you can agree. Have you ever seen another artist copy part of the Mona Lisa, put it in his painting and say he was paying homage or wanted to see what his work would look like next to it? No. It's called creativity, most people have it, some use it. I suggest you take a look into it and create your own groundbreaking music like The Beatles did instead of stealing theirs.
Lastly. Maybe to you, money rules the world. But if you let money be a factor in deciding wether or not you want your passion torn apart, edited, put behind someone elses voice, and used as a stepping stone to their success, you are truly a fucking tool. I don't expect any logical explanation of why you think it's alright to steal other peoples music to call your own besides what you've already said. So, good day.
