**God damn copyright violations. I'll keep trying to find new ones as they take 'em down. The video isn't supposed to be released until the 9th.

Jokes aside - this video/song is DOPE~! Another classic from HYPE!

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.

P.S. Some fun Sample trivia for you. I might have been mistaken when I said that Audio Two's Top Billin had the most samples ever in Hip-Hop. Technically, as far as the beat and the whole thing, it could be. However, in this mixtape, Lyn Collin's "Think (About it)" is the original source of that "WOO! YEAH!" James Brown Sample that pops up in EVERY GOD DAMN SONG. (The Lyn Collins song was written and produced by Mr. Brown) Just for fun, I went and found a list. Check it out HERE.

Sample Of The Day!

I was doing the random selection on my entire itunes library over the weekend and Pattii Labelle came up. Plus the big bosses are gone for the week, I figured it was an opportune time to jump start the Sample of the Day with a double feature. Miss me?

Wale Ft. Bun B - Go Mode

Face to a Name



Another Sean Carter sample, with some nice supporting instrumentation. Bun shows up in traditional fashion. Wale is going for what he knows. Heard someone compare him to a poor man's Lupe on this one. Don't know if i concur but nevertheless here we are. enjoy

Jay Smart

Sample of the Day

I wanted to come through and actually drop some bombs today for the SOTD. Most people might have heard the last two, so I thought I'd go more obscure. I admit willingly when it comes to the Jay-Z vs Nas debate I easily favor Jay. However, Nas created one of my favorite songs ever in "I Can." When you can make a song for top 40 and parents ALSO love it? Success. McClarron. Haha!

Biter: Nas - "I Can"


Writer: "Impeach The President" - The Honeydrippers


Also sampled was Beethoven's Für Elise


Top Billin Sample of the Day:

Biter: 2pac - Only God Can Judge Me


Writer: Audio Two - Top Billin
