Opening of 40/40 Club in Atlantic City"Is Jay-Z a writer or a biter?" That was the "big" question that flunky metal head rapper Camron (the moron) tried to pose to audiences last year when a huge controversy was started due to beef between the two MC's. Well only one is a true MC, I need not say anymore on that but Camron was just looking for some childish attention and publicity which he got for 15 minutes. Big baby! Jay-Z is swagger personified. Things with him blow over because he remains cool.
Now real trouble brews in the form of a big fat lawsuit against Jay-Z, Timbaland and others over the popular 99' hit, Big Pimpin. This piece taken from Rapbasement.com - Copyright co-owner Osama Admed Fahmy filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court, claiming that Timbaland illegally replayed portions of "Big Pimpin" note-for-note, using a melody lifted from the song "Khosara, Khosara" which was written by composer Baligh Hamdi and performed by Egyptian star Abdel-Halim Hafez in 1957.
"Big Pimpin," which is taken from Jay-Z's hit album Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter also features Texas rap legends UGK and hit #1 in 1999. Jay-Z, Timbaland, Linkin Park, EMI Music Inc. are among the defendants named in the lawsuit over the hit single, which was also mashed up on Linkin Park's song "Papercut" on the EP Collision Course.
To me this is another one that really doesn't have to be a big deal and will..."YAWN" blow the heck over. I said earlier "real trouble" but I only wrote that for blog purpose. It's nothing to really trip about too hard. These guys get flack all day long. So BOOOO! Bigger things to worry about in Hip Hop besides a song that was "stolen" 8 years ago. I guess dude is broke...It's not right to steal and if this is true then please bruh man get yo money and step...whatever.
