What to do next

If you believe you're not at fault in one or more of the instances above, you can appeal this takedown by submitting a counter notification. Keep in mind that there may be severe legal consequences for submitting a counter notification with false information.
You can also contact the party that removed your video and ask them to retract their takedown.

The clip was pretty old one, I believe that it was uploaded in 2010.
Note that it was recreated beat, using original samples used for Brand Nubian "Wake Up" (Reprise In The Sunshine mix) beat, and Wu-Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M" beat. They might have all rights of both sampled songs, Wu-Tang Clan and Brand Nubians'.

Be careful, It might happen to you next. This is part of the reason I don't upload hip hop beat remakes anymore.

No. In fact, I haven't monetized any of my videoclips on YouTube. Most of my clips involve with samples, so I wouldn't do that anyway.
