Kanye West Sued $500,000 For Unauthorized Use Of Sample On A Mixtape

ADDRESSED DIRECTLY TO KW, "KW" Go Head Girl- Go Head Get Down. " GET DOWN" background vocal in GOLD DIGGER ! KW what song did you take it from? Who is the vocalist singing the GET DOWN in the background. Why haven't you cleared the sample with my deceased father DAVID PRYOR, founder and lead performer of THE PLAYBOYS -THUNDER AND LIGHTNING band? "BUMPIN BUS STOP" KW do the honorable thing like" GET A LICENSE and PROPER PERMISSION" to exploit my HIP HOP POP's copyrighted musical creation. WHAT IS THAT?? You think you can get away it? Not going to happen!! The Heirs of David Pryor & THE PLAYBOYS -THUNDER & LIGHTNING have UNITED TOGETHER and have developed a new band called " A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS" to speak on behalf of incapacitated and deceased original creators that become victims of stolen copyright rights against pirates like you! KW - We are strong and we are on our way to talk you COPYWRONG CON-YE!!

Wow seems like this is becoming the new sue craze in America. well i guess either everyones full of greed or these artists appreciate the homage to their music being reintroduced but want these rookies to do their homework before making a hit. lol of course after the Dubai concert and watch the throne this is a penny in the pot to this muthafucka!!! lol

Was this mixtape free? I don't see how this is even an issues if it is. However, please enlighten me if I am incorrect.

BASED GOD > KANYE WEST

If they can prove that the song was directly used as part of the marketing campaign for his official album and thus that he directly profited from the song, they CAN 100% win regardless of whether or not the mixtape it's self was free or not

Pretty sure they're not winning shit.

Lol at dudes saying he should do sample free productions. no. hip-hop and sampling are almost synonyms. Tracks that don't have samples usually have some lame bitch singing the chorus and sound like techno. no thank you. keep ya head up yeezy

Wow its a mixtape track dude, Ye probably wot see any money from the track. The track wont get any radio play at all. Dude needs to chill..

Free mixtape or not, you dont go sampling another persons work without taking permission from them, especially when you are kanye west. He should have know better. For a guy who has spent his whole career sampling music i expect more foresight.

LOL- Kanye cant mke hits without other peoples beats.. bout time the world of this Illuminatti Satanic Puppet collapses... Hey Kanye.. when u commen out the closet????
