Busta Rhymes, L.O.N.S. Sued Over '91 Song

The only people who don't understand why an artist would sue another artist for illegally using their intellectual property are people who haven't created SELLABLE intellectual property. Simply put....Yall dont understand because you prolly arent TALENTED enough to create something that someone else would want to jack. I know some of yall are producers. And I'd bet everything I own that if someone used YOUR music and made hundreds of thousands...maybe millions off of it (mostly publishing for the artist, sales for the label), you would NOT sit back like, "well I dont wanna be a HATER so Imma let them keep making money and not say nuttin". Man GTFOH! Yall are making these comments from THE SIDELINE! Who cares how long it takes. If it's legal, SUE! And if it's news that they SUCCESSFULLY filed papers, then NO its NOT past the statute or the court would have rejected it and there would be NO suit. Come on, kids. smarten up!

19 years later, some people are just truly desperate, sad sooooo sad. Only sample that I truly heard is the soundbyte that Stetsasonic used for "Sally". So why not after them....

ppl are broke as hel finding a 20 year old song to sue sumone for that dident even go plat 20 mins later lol

Suing the leaders of the new school for money is like mugging a hobo for extra pocket change. say word.

didn't that song come out before that sampling law was in play??

shits funny they arent getting no money off that shit now.AND DX WHY THE HELL DONT YOU PUT THE SONG UP THAT YOUR SAYING THEYRE GETTING SUED FOR?yall put up a whole diff song?cmon son

Now I completely understand why artists get upset over illegal samples, it's their right to be. But this right here? This is pure spite here.

Maybe I don't have an ear for it, but I'm not hearing the similarities between the two songs. Fuck, it took them 19 years to find it. Isn't that past the statute of limitations anyways?

people fear what they don't understand yo. these musicians that we've been sampling for the past 30 years are quick to shit on hip hop. im gonna make this quick. without pete rock flipping ahmad jamal into the world is yours i wouldn't have known who the fuck ahmad jamal was. without ski beatz flippin lonnie liston smith and turning it into dead presidents i wouldn't have known who the fuck lonnie listen smith is.. and i smoke to lonnie liston smith everyday im 21 and i can honestly say that a majority of the artists i listen to that's non hip-hop, i discovered them because they were sampled for my fav hip hop tracks. once u find something good you're not just gonna settle for that one shit. you would want to get that whole artists catalogue. these musicians that came before us should understand we're not only trying to create something new from their shit but at the same time these sampled beats are like history lessons i always wanted to get a hold of the original song my fav rappers or producers sampled. i would read the credits and thank yous while taking a shit before i even bumped the albums. so basically because of hip hop sampling, to my eyes atleast, their name and sound was revived in a manner our generation could fuckin appreciate i hate it when these guys go as far as lawsuits and shit over samples its fucking music. what did u expect ? no one else was gonna do new shit and make new music after you? we look for loops and breaks to sample just as you travelled and studied and looked for rare instruments. anyways peace i jus had my wake and bake so sorry if this post is very fucking random :) go sue soulja boy's momma for givin birth to him or someshit.

Poor Dinco.
