Mac Miller is being Sued by Lord Finesse for sampiling Lord’s song “Hip 2 Da Game”. He claims that Mac’s song “Kool-Aid & Frozen Pizza is a carbon copy of his previous track and is suing for the following: “copyright infringement, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, interference, deceptive trade practices, and a number of related state law claims.” Finesse’s lawyer had this to say:
“This is a case about a teenage rapper–Mac Miller–copying the music from a song written, produced and performed by Lord Finesse, a hip hop legend, changing the title and then distributing it under his own name in order to launch his music career,”
Mac took to his twitter to say this:
“This life aint no paradise. I hope all of you are grateful for the things you get to experience in this world. Experience is worth more than a dollar. I wish for you all to be happy in the life that you are living no matter what that is all of us go through our own pain and our own pleasures, thats inevitable. I just do this because i love music and i do not exist without it fuck a Mac Miller. Malcolm James McCormick does not exist without music. I am music, and that is the only place i exist in my purest form. I am nothing. I know nothing. I am not even a real person to most of you. i am nothing but a name that is attached to something you love. Most of you will never meet me. To everybody though, i just hope what i put my heart into can do something good for all of you. To those who dont support me, I have dealt with demons far more powerful then you, i am ready to fight and die for what i stand for. I aint hid in.”
Finesse needs to sit his ass down somewhere. K.I.D.S. isn’t even available for purchase. The argument can be made on shows but Mac built his career on way more than just that song alone. Just my thoughts…
