Former Eazy-E Protégés J.J. Fad Demand Answers For Questlove + Black Thought-Produced 'Super Bonnet'

Published on: Mar 8, 2022


Exclusive – MC JB, Baby D and Sassy C — collectively known as J.J. Fad — are widely known as the First Ladies of Ruthless Records. Signed to Eazy-E’s iconic imprint in the 1980s, J.J. Fad exploded on the scene with the 1988 gold-selling single “Supersonic” and subsequent debut album of the same name. Over 30 years later, J.J. Fad still tours as a trio and are celebrated around the globe for their contributions to Hip Hop.


But it appears not everyone is playing fair when it comes to honoring J.J. Fad’s work. Last month, Disney+ released a new animated series called Rise Up, Sing Out that focuses on conversations around “race, culture, community and celebrating differences.” The Roots’ Questlove and Black Thought produced the music for the series and are featured characters as well.

On Saturday (March 5), J.J. Fad shared a tweet to their official account that included a clip of a little girl dancing to a song from the show called “Super Bonnet,” which sounds eerily similar to “Supersonic.” The group was completely caught off guard, and they’re asking Disney+ to do the right thing.

“It’s not about the money it’s the principle!” the tweet read. “This is a Grammy nominated platinum selling song! You can’t just use it or it’s likeness without permission! @disneyplus make it right!! We deserve better! Please share and tag them!! #supersonic #superbonnet #theaudacity #notright.”

I hope they get their money.

I wonder what their paperwork look like. I have a feeling Disney paid somebody, but it wasn’t them.

Who owns the Masters?

I, personally, can't stand the song, but they got straight jacked.​

It’s an interpolation, they aren’t getting shyt. Sucks that Questlove is involved because you’d expect a hip hop person to do the right thing, even when they don’t have to.

The late MJ got sued and settled over an interpolation, so the ladies night have something here.

Manu Dibango, African Musician , Dies of Coronavirus at 86

Over the years he fused his multiple influences into a sort of Afro-jazz-funk hybrid, which spawned an international hit in 1972 with “Soul Makossa,” which features an unforgettable sax line and his own spoken vocals.

The murmured line near the beginning of the song — “mama-say, mama-sa, ma-makossa” — was interpolated by Jackson on his 1983 hit “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.” Dibango sued Jackson — the sole writer on the song, which was produced by the singer and Quincy Jones — over the uncredited interpolation and won in a 1986 court settlement that reports said was a flat fee of 1 million francs

lmao interpolation is the same as sampling, the song is the song it doesn't matter if the actual record is used

if you steal a song and change up one note, you still getting sued and losing

 

[Bud Bundy]

ehh i hear it

 

[Nature's Fury]

They probably did get permission to use it, JJ’s paperwork probably just ain’t in place.
