Lord Finesse Is Suing Mac Miller For $10 Million

yep, and be sure to watch that to the end where the dudes show his emails and shyt
the video's gone now...
Mr. Muthafukkin' eXquire has a song/video called Huzzah on youtube, it has the most views of any of his joints and is pretty much the song that got his name out there.
He jacked the beat for that song from a pretty unknown song by indie NY rapper Necro, who did the beat years ago.
eXquire gave Necro credit on the song.
eXquire Just got singned to Universal, not solely based on Huzzah but that obviously being the song that got him out there, eXquire 's people got a check cut for Necro on some homage/respect shyt considering that song helped kick off his career.
1. Gave him credit from the jump.
2. Cut a check when his career benefited from using someone else's beat for a song, video and single.
This is how it should be done for all the slow kids in here.

You can't explain that to these folks. They think they can do what they want and not have to break a crumb off anything because they "put in all the work." Uh... no. You took someone's work, ran with it, and didn't do anything to recognize the person's work. But hey... just how it is now.
Man I miss those days

I was listening to some old school while working out and just realized Big Daddy Kane talked about this is "Young, Gifted & Black":
"We sample beats, you sue and try to fight us
Man, you still be home with arthritis
If we didn't revive em, bring back alive Old beats that we appreciated, you wouldn't survive
You'd be another memory to us Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
So understand, the way that I live That's positive and the message I got to give
It's a benefit for you and me, I'm talkin' 'bout P.E.A.C.E."
Sounds just like Mac Miller and Lord Finesse except they were selling songs with the beats as opposed to free mixtapes and performing the songs.

Louder than words
man kill that. for longer than anything else, brothers been getting sued and charged with sampling beats. this little dude didnt even do all that he just jacked another previously produced hip hop beat for his own hip hop song. as far as bdks line about

miller ignored finesse and gave no mention OR credit anywhere.
Hmm all the shows that he played his music at? All the festivals he got invited to based of his free music.
And basically all the venues where rappers who sell their music get 90% of their money from (hint: It's not record sales)
I don't know if I agree with it, but that's probably how they see it. If he's profited of it in any way.
Lol if Lord Finesse changes the mixtape game forever
They don't want to hear you. Nothing new see the

They didn't back then either. In fact it was the thing to keep your records a secret. I see you don't know how things went down back then.
BTW, Lord Finesse was and is the man to me but I don't think I agree with how he is doing this because once them crooks, oops I mean lawyers get involved it changes everything. I wish he would of found another route to handle this like go on interviews getting at mac or do a dis record just to get macs attention and then get to do a track on macs album. Once the system gets into our shyt they always fukk it up for us.
he claims to have asked for his name to be in the video. that didn't happen. he sent a cease-and-desist, they ignored it. what's the next step? handle it in the skreets?
