Leave the young legend alone.
End of the day there's nothing here to defend on Kendrick's part. He sampled it, pay up. Simple as that.
How you jump on the OG who wants his deserved cut? You took his shyt right? You know you're sampling when it's all said and done so don't act naive when you get caught up.

I'm not sure but from what I understand The actual sample has to be 3.5 seconds long for it to do any real damage. The homie is goin through the same thing with the Jackson 5 sample for Eric BBellingr "I Dont Want Her" but because he sampled barely 3 seconds of the song , damages won't be so bad

This is not new band it won't go anywhere. he ain't sued by someone who wants recognition for his music, hes being sued by someone who HATES hip hop.
just searched about the dude who sued on google and found this, that he posted on his facebook on february

that dude is corny as fu*k for saying he hates hip hop but will sue and take a check- nikka has no integrity.

The label is getting sued, not kendrick.

nikka realized that kendrick was affiliated with the future first billionaire in hip hop and thought it was a good idea to ask a milli 
this nikka ain't seeing that cash, Interscope/TDE probably gonna pay 100k

I see it both ways. I know that artists that get sampled deverve a check, recognition, or something.
On the other hand, I can't stand when it comes to lawsuits just because cats are already terrified to sample, and it just makes it worse and worse. Salute to producers that still have the balls to go and dig. Alchemist said he lost every fukking penny for Break Da Bank with Schoolboy Q but it was a dope sing so it was worth it. Someone just posted something this week about how Just Blaze had to give up 100k and 100% of the publishing to Supertramp for Fabolous' Breathe.
It's crazy.

-waiting for homie to blow up to get a bigger cut, album been out like 3 years lol
-the sampled part wasn't even that serious yet "They are also seeking all "Rigamortis" profits and rights to the song."
aint mad at people getting money but thats some bytch shyt at the least
Willie b @macadomusic 
If it's not that serious then Kendrick (or whoever produced the record) shouldn't have sampled it.
And of course you're going to wait until the other person has money to pay up. Otherwise you just lose money and resources on your end for the hassle.

Don't be mad
The sampling laws are so harsh, the whole art form of sampling is endangered. This situation is interesting, because at the time section 80 was released, TDE probably had modest sales expectations of 50k or so, so they probably decided to take the risk on clearing the samples. Kendrick just went on to be much bigger than that.
To me whenever an artist hates hip hop like this dude and he gets sampled, I wish there was a way to know so producers won't fukk with them dudes in the first place. There should be some kind of master list of artists who respect the culture of sampling And are down to be sampled so we know to stay away from cats like this. Nothing worse than sampling one of these elitist type artist who look down on the culture.

Breh a label is more than a rapper. You're acting like Kendrick Lamar handles every single aspect of his career, alone. He ain't the CEO of the label.

sometimes dudes don't know their songs are even sampled until the artist becomes popular
i doubt the original musicians are up on kendrick's songs like we would be
