a parody of what though?


28 days later just on the surface.
the set and background is a bit parody of Westside story, and their name is a parody reference to pop internet lingo, too.
on top, of the record is a parody of disney house dub two step records.
That air on the disney channel as a vid.
Plus music disney releases.

Rapper 50 Cent could be on the hook for posting the video of a woman having sex without her permission -- a move he made as part of a 'rap war' with her ex-lover and his rival, Rick Ross. A Manhattan judge Thursday refused the rapper's motion to dismiss the case. Lastonia Leviston sued 50 Cent, aka Curtis James Jackson III, in 2010 for emotional distress after he posted a video of her having sex with Maurice Murray. (New York Daily News)

Ross probably had this bish sue Fif too. This part cracks me up still
50 Cent claims he made the video because Leviston's ex, 'Hustlin'' star Rick Ross, was "disrespecting" him. The pair's feud began in 2009, when Ross accused 50 of looking at him in a funny way at the BET Awards (yes, really). Disses have since flown back and forth between the two ever since. (Gigwise)

LMFAO are some industry plants, I thought you guys didn't like plants? This is good right?

And honestly, yea it was a bite and did reference the song. That's the most well known part of the song but not everyone knows it because of Rick Ross.

3 words isnt enough for him to win :camby:
It might be 3 lines but the 3 lines make the song; In fact, its the only thing that most people remember from that song. Check the song “John”, Lil Wayne initially picked up a few lines from “I'm not a Star”, but those lines were crucial to “John” being a big song. Its not some obscure line in the song. I think that there is a bigger reason why Ross is suing that hasn't been disclosed (they are also not his friends so fukk them), these cats just got caught up in a crossfire but I think they might have to pay, rightfully so, just like other cacs make rappers pay even for things that are so not important or don't have a direct revenue stream attached to them. Who the fukk bought fade to black DVD or bought touch the sky because of that hand signal or parody, respectively?

Rick Ross is suing LMFAO for copyright infringement.

The rapper has filed a lawsuit against the duo over a lyric used in their 2011 track 'Party Rock Anthem'.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ross claims that the phrase "Every day I'm shufflin" from LMFAO's hit single is imitative of his own 2006 track 'Hustlin'', in which he repeatedly uses the lyric "Everyday I'm hustlin'".

Ross and the song's composer Jermaine Jackson have filed the case against the group - made up of uncle and nephew Redfoo and Sky Blu - at a Florida federal court over the unauthorised use of the line.

The lawsuit states: "The use of 'Hustlin'' in 'Party Rock Anthem' is readily apparent, despite the slight change from "Everyday I'm hustlin'"…' to "Everyday I'm shufflin...'" and constitutes, inter alia, the creation of an unauthorised derivative work."

It also mentions that the use of the phrase "is an obvious attempt to capitalise on the fame and success of 'Hustlin'", pointing out that the lyric is even performed in a similar manner to Ross.

The lawsuit continues: "The phrase is so important to the success of 'Party Rock Anthem', that LMFAO launched a highly successful clothing line, Party Rock Clothing, that features the phrase on T-shirts and other clothing items."

Ross is asking for an injunction and statutory damages, claiming that LMFAO have ignored previous warnings over the alleged infringement.
