Kanye, Others Sued Over 1970s Jazz Sample

Thats messed up...

I hope she wins the case.

Does that mean redman gonna have to sell the one-room shack he lives in now?? dont sweat it red we got ur back ova here being that u a blood cause ur name is "red"man

Damn shawty,,, calm down... Anybody that bugs out over samples like that has to be money driven... Every artist i know as long as they get paid would luv to spread they music. I think she should get some doe and call it a day.

She will loose. Broke chick with cheap lawyer vs universal music group and 100 lawyers. Or they will just settle... Give her 5 bucks and a bucket of chicken. Bkabky c^ripk 3y3'z, i am sure redman can afford a million easy. Just because he don't run all around showing how much money he got don't mean he is broke. It is called living below your means.

Word

How many of you would like to see something you created from scratch make others rich and leave you out of the loop on the profits? besides 95% of these so-called producers should be titled "samplers" because most have not produced an original beat in their life. I know sampling has always been a part of hip-hop so pay the fees, get the copyright permission, and sample legally if you must. Come kanye west, where is the authenticity & originality if you want to be known as the best producer???? how many times do you have to get sued for this generic producing you are doing?

I say you're so right, she's driven by money and as many that sue ova trivial crap, they will use any way possible to get money without having to work for it! not to mention getting herself free publisity, and gets her name in the news, press & ect.....

Those poor guys,many people talked about this when we chat online on tall dating site___t a l l m i n g l e . C om___where has many humor guys and fashion girls,even hot models.

Kanye is the king of sampling. Just to think that is the same thing that brought vanilla ice down. Not that vanilla ice was any good

Well shouldnt rza be there too....he produced run 4 cover i hope she doesnt win though cause who cares...get over it

Man she broke man she tryna get some dollars down real quick

^^^lyrical monster when kanye get his sample game down like d.i.t.c., pete rock,large professor, dilla (r.i.p.),d.j. Mark the 45 king you let me know you dillusional mufukka

Shes stupid because its the sampling that helps them get more money. Someone hears the sample remembers the song reminisces then often buys the song or album .

Len you are a dumb Bia'ch sampling only hinders the original artist kanye has always been a thief that Bia'ch

Thats bullsh*t. As a producer i understand her but to just stop all further publications of the song. All the brod want is dough. Get your dough and move along like someone else stated. And for the person that said sampling is called generic producing who are you to say that. Do you produce. Most likley not. These loopers are one thing but almost every damn producer samples. Dj premier to ayatollah to rza. Not saying thats all they do but they do it. Most of the music you like is sampled. Thats hip-hop homie and if you dont like that sh*t get off of a hip-hop site. Know your history first then make stupid ass comments. Wait....if you knew it you wouldnt make them... Cientifiq ./cientifiq ./cientifiqinstrumentalz

F*ck that Bia'ch

This post comment is sh*t. You enter something incorrect you have to start again (doesn't maintain the sh*t you write) - .mp3kiwi

I had just ran into a 25 year old record lable c.e.o.. He told me, if you want to ball out of control you need to do this. I have made $10,000 in about a month and i have so much music equipment it's ridiculous. So if you need some dough, loot, money whatever you call it just read this and follow the instructions and the money will start pouring in. I'm sure you’ve read these letters asking you to send $1 to 6 different addresses. Putting your home address on the internet can be risky, but through paypal all you have to provide is your email address. It’s safe and easy just go to .paypal and set up your account!!!! i am not a gullible person and have never trusted things like this, but i gave it a try, hey its only $6, i figured at least 6 people would respond out of the millions of people that use the internet. You should give it a try too! you have nothing to lose, and thousands to gain! read on for the letter that i found ... $$ how to turn $6 into $6,000+!!! this really can make you easy money!! it works!!! but you have to follow it to the letter for it to work!!!! $$ a little while back, i was browsing through newsgroup, just like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! so i thought, "yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, i was curious, so i kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 though paypal to each of the emails stated in the article. You then plac

To all the people wich infest the net with comments lilke 'it's easy to produce like kanye' 'he is a thief' 'it's easy to rhyme like juelz santana' ... Etc etc... If it's so easy, why you ass hole aren't driving a bentley instead of typing bullsh*t on the net? oh let me guess... You hate bentleys! you ass hole deserve to die.

Nobody ever sued picasso or other artists when they cut up newspapers and magazines and made collages. Its the same sh1t.

I hope the c*nt loses the case. F*ck, u b*tch, the fact that great musical artists want to pay homage to another artist[as if these guys can't make a better beat anyway,'cause i would never,repeat never sample a whiteboy jazz artist when i got my own ppl to look back on] by sampling,this c*nt wants to make some money so she can promote her daddy who was a nobody until these artists actually did something about it. And i'm pretty damn sure her daddy jacked someone else too.so go f*ck urself c*nt!!!. Peace.

Lossouljahman is just another ignorant black man. Get your facts straight before you run your mouth off. If anyone knows anything about music they will know it takes alot more, skill, time and money to record live sound instead of sampling a huge chunck of music off the computer. Kanye should be sued just for making music.

Copyright infringement is serious business, and if you have a history of this behaviour and the work being sampled is hearable you can be found liable along with access and allthat other stuff. Kanye also has another lawsuit on the grammy award winning " the good life" from a legendary record producer and musician from maryland. The law protects everyone from piracy illegal sampling and downloads. The question is can hip hop music survive without sampling, if people would just create original music and stop copying others maybe things would change.

The immortal words of slick rick "cause this type of sh*t happens ever reee day" people suing like crazy now over samples-and artist who give the original.....a good remix/version done in a hip hop style...it's sad cause the people who usually sue are the young relatives who are money hungry cause the original piece of music did not make as much money anyway.to the people who say sh*t like sampling is stupid ye deserves to get sued ...check this out you guys are usually after 1985 and that is no lie...you make it seem like music didn't exist before lil wayne..damn shame

This is simple. No sampling, no hip hop... Ever. Know where you come from & don't sh*t where you eat. If she owns the rights to the sampled record, it would only benefit her to gain a percentage of the residuals, and allow the music to continue. That's fair, and none of these hip hop artist will argue that, (us sampling producers, either). I have personally worked w/ one of the most historically sampled musicians ever, george clinton, and that man loves it when we flip his records, (and he's a living legend). Unknown musicians who find their records being sampled are entitled to their % of residuals, but they should be flattered that the producers who own the airwaves, as well as the streets, have shown them that kind of respect. Real recognize real, y'all know that.

To the person who said producers should stop sampling and make original music, we already have souljah boy and lil wayne to thank for that. I think sampling needs to come back so that way we can seperate the real from the fake.

What the #$% cares? sampling is the backbone of all music, whether it's digital or acoustic or whatever. Ridiculous. I can't wait until the courts and record labels finally realize that artists like girltalk whose music is entirely sampling will make more money than those who don't sample...it's all about the money in this country, and probably always will be.

Greed is the worst thing ever!!!!!!!!!

Way to try to get a quick buck. Cmon now, get a job and live honestly.

Even tho kanye samples music that makes his beats tight i dont care. He is 1 of the best producers in da game rite now and besides which otha producer in da game hasnt sample an old skool beat b 4.

Well-we all know the rules of the game if not then you should learn them. Without asking for clearance you get sued.
