In the incredibly unlikely event that Finesse actually gets what he wants from this lawsuit (and in the more likely event that he gets nominal damages) this could set a precedent that would stop rappers from using classic beats. It's not as big a deal as it used to be, because mixtapes are much closer to albums than they used to be, but it will still have big repercussions for the way we listen to music.

I will bet $2K Coli Cash Mac Miller doesn't even know who Lord Finesse is
Based on what?

He's worked with Premier and has a tape with DJ Jazzy Jeff coming out.

And are people really cool with LF winning this case, setting a precedent that will prevent people from using others' instrumentals on tapes, random non-album songs and radio stations just to see Mac get an L?

LOL @ Finesse waiting until Mac Miller blew up to sue him for this. Even if he doesn't get the 10 milli (he won't) He should at least be able to strong arm a decent settlement out of it.

White owls and Dutchmasters in the hood for the next ten years. I see you Finesse. :mjpls:

@LordFinesseDITC

This case is about the overall picture.. If you're just looking at "one" point.. It's about so much more #look deeper..

Whatever that even means

I think maybe he didn't clear the sample In the first place or dorsnt want I pay for it anymore or something. Maybe there's licensing issues going on with the LF song. There could be a million reasons why he's suing. I doubt it's just because Mac miller used it on a mix tape. Maybe mac miller is making money offte YouTube video or something like tht
