Kevin Hart Will Produce Movie Called ‘Run the Jewels’;Run the Jewels (Killer Mike & El-P) Are Pissed

[SteelCitySoldier]

That's true for mixtapes which most rappers do not see revenue from. Let them try that on a label release without clearance and it's a different story breh

Bruh rappers been naming tracks and albums after movies FOREVER. Rockerfellers family didn't try to Sue Rocafella, Quentin Tarantino didn't sue Jay for naming a track Reservoir Dogs, makers of Scarface ain't sue Scarface, we could go on and on about this shyt for days but the reality is that is some bullshyt and the majority of people will tell you the same.

Oh and as far as your point about mixtapes...Lord Finesse sued Mac Miller for a track on K.I.D.S. WHICH WAS A MIX TAPE and he ended up getting a settlement for it...and I said that was bullshyt then also.

I'm mad Killer Mike is still engaging in this bullshyt side project

 

[Born2BKing]

I'm willing to bet Kev Hart didn't even know there was a group with this name.

infringement, branding and marketing purposes. right now you say run the jewels and we know exactly who we're taking about. The movie drops and now theres two different run the jewels.

Its the equivalent of another poster named LDeezy posting on here

No, it's not at all. It'd be the equivalent of someone named LDeezy posting on a completely different board about movies.

In order to be infringement, you gotta be in someone's way.

That's why you can have the singer Sting and the wrestler Sting. I'm sure that's oversimplifying the issue, but i'm sure they can work it out.

This the shyt that trips me out, rappers stay taking movie titles, posters, video game covers and shyt and then use them on albums, mixtapes and tracks, but now since they're on the other end it's a problem now...smh.

good point

Funny thing is, this movie will do nothing but get them more attention and money.

 

[FaTaL]

If they own the title there getting paid

It's not. It's why the WWF had to become the WWE. Eventually things with the same name will start infringing on each financially and confusing the consumer. As long as run the jewels has their paper work in order they'll win because they have already monetized run the jewels.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Get this lawsuit out of here

On a another note, I can't wait for Kevin Hart's run to be over. Gotta feeling its gonna be another 5-10 years though

 

[Grizzly]

I'm willing to bet Kev Hart didn't even know there was a group with this name.

I bet the people that came to him with the idea did

 

[Rekkapryde]

I'm willing to bet Kev Hart didn't even know there was a group with this name.

Of course that's really the case, but the anti Kev bunch are furious.

 

[ThaRealness]

Lemme guess on the plot: Kevin Hart and Adam Sandler are ex-diamond thieves who have to perform one last heist to pay off a mob boss

If a rapper wants to release any of that shyt retail they gotta pay for that shyt bruh.
