Ye Sued by KRS-One Over Supposed Sample Dispute
Andrew Anglin November 8, 2022
The Jews are just going around looking for whoever they can find to sue Ye.
Some of these suits are just goofy.
TMZ:
Kanye West apparently hasn’t done himself any favors in uploading his Andre 3000 collaboration “Life Of The Party” on his Stem Player device … the song is now at the center of a lawsuit filed by the record company that owns a famous track by KRS-One’s Boogie Down Productions.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, the company says it owns the copyright to BDP’s iconic diss track “South Bronx” and claims Ye never got permission to sample the song when he released the “Donda” bonus track on the Stem Player.
The company says Ye and his partner Alex Klein sold around 11K Stem Players within the first 24 hours of its release, raking in around $2.2 million dollars … but claims they never got permission to use the sample even though the company says Ye’s team initially reached out to try to license it.
The suit alleges the sides never came to an agreement and says Ye’s side eventually retracted its offer to license it.
Frankly, I can’t even hear the sample.
Ye has been sampling for a very long time, and it does not make sense that he would have screwed this up.
It also doesn’t make sense why KRS-One would have waited until Ye started talking about Jews to file a suit over this.
