MOP Sues John Cena over Illegal Sample

Tsk tsk. Word is that MOP is suing John Cena for 150 Grand because a "relatively unknown seattle producer" (aka Jake One) sampled their song "Ante Up" on John Cena's track. Jake is not named in the suit, but I know he did some work for John Cena's album. I'm not about to look up the credits for a John Cena album neither. Because honestly, you don't really care. lol. Big ups to the hustlas of the rain for posting the story. I'm a rain drop H-U-S-T-L-E HustleR! lol. Get it? John Cena x murs remix ahhh fuckit.

Ante up:


Maybe they can settle this one in the ring. I'm not so sure that's to John Cena's advantage either, you see those mafuckas? They're huge.

Time for my favorite magazine photo editing video:



There's a MILLION of these now, but this was the original.

Let The Truth Be Told! 2pac Story Bogus.

"In relying on documents that I now believe were fake, I failed to do my job," Philips said in a statement Wednesday. "I'm sorry."

In his statement, Duvoisin added: "We should not have let ourselves be fooled. That we were is as much my fault as Chuck's. I deeply regret that we let our readers down."

Kanye - "Good Life" Lawsuit

A wacky songwriter-producer in Maryland says that Kanye West is diggin' his gold, lifting his tune "Volume of Good Life" for the Kanye smash hit "Good Life."

In a rambling lawsuit filed in Maryland District Court, Dayna Staggs (aka D'Mystro) is suing Kanye -- and his record label, Roc-a-Fella -- for copyright infringement. Staggs says that West "didn't obtain a license to use 'Volume of Good Life'" for his tune, and points out that Kanye was "only at the age of 6 or 7 years of age [sic]" when his song was written.

D'Mystro is also peeved because Kanye's song "contains vulgar and offensive" images and "harms the reputation" of his much cleaner song. He wants 85% of all world sales of the proceeds from the music that uses his work, though he doesn't explain how he came up with that number. Kanye's label hasn't returned a message seeking comment.

Good Luck. I've been searching all over for the original song to try and use in a future SOTD. Never heard of it, can't find it.

Diddy's Rough Week

First the 2pac Murder is placed on his shoulders. Now this:

Shyne Trying To Tie Diddy To Lawsuit Over 1999 Shooting

Issue at center of suit is whether Shyne acted independently -- or as part of Bad Boy collective -- when he fired shots.

After nearly two years, Sean "Diddy" Combs completed his deposition last week in the $130 million civil lawsuit stemming from the 1999 Club New York shooting that sent the Bad Boy CEO's former protégé, Shyne, to prison, MTV News has learned.

Oooohh Child... Things are gonna get easier. OH! That's a 2pac song. Sorry no taste at all.
