Jay-Z Sue For Illegal Sample For Run This Town

[FeloniousMonk]

Rich Harrison had a cool run then he vanished

I think my mans Rich got his loot and said fukk it, label not putting shyt into my artist.

 

[IronFist]

not surprising

 

[blackslash]

All these attacks against Jay Z back to back

Did Jay Z offend one of these upper echelon crackaz

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

i don't hear where it was sampled

 

[Mr. Negative]

......something's fishy about this lawsuit considering Stezo sampled that song back in 1989 and was never sued for it.....

​

Ha! It reminds me of that Peter Gunz thread up there....

Steely Dan sued them for $100,000, which I found shocking......

MF DOOM got away with it easy enough!

You could get away with it in 1989. Sampling laws started in 1991 when Biz got sued.

 

[Wepa Man]

Shouldn't they be suing Kanye and No ID?? After all they're the ones that produced the song...

and the record label

That was before sampling laws were created.

It will trickle down

 

[L. Deezy]

It will trickle down

its not the producers job to clear samples unless specified. Its strictly on the artist and the label

 

[The Mad Titan]

A lot of this track sounds like this Amerie track, even though it's a more go-go bounce to the Amerie track. The drums:

Man I was just about this, I don't even really hear run this town too much... But One thing popped into my head instantly.

I think that's because the peter guns song was quite mainstream (his retwist of steely dans "black cow" is better than mfs, it doesn't lose the funk) while on the other hand mf dooms was quite Lowkey.

I wish he still produced

But Jay owns the song

 

[L. Deezy]

I think its kinda fukked up tho he abandoned Amerie for Beyonce....
