Theo3 Live @ The Halftime Show w/ DJ Eclipse

Lil Wayne Sues Jim Jonsin For “I Feel Like Dying”

by Kevin April 30, 2009 News

Yep, this is the first Lil Wayne article we have ever had on the site. I thought this was pretty interesting though. Rememeber last year when Lil Wayne got hit with a lawsuit for his song “I Feel Like Dying”? The whole reason the track didn’t make Tha Carter III was because of sample clearance. [...]

“Nas Is Like” Sample… The Real Deal?

by Kevin April 29, 2009 Around The Net

Last year, we caused a pretty big stir by announcing that the sample DJ Premier used for “Nas Is Like” had been revealed. It was one of our most popular posts last year and caused a controversy because, frankly, we really didn’t do our research. Fast forward a year later and I see a new [...]

Charles Hamilton vs 9th Wonder

by Thomas April 29, 2009 Who Flipped It Better?

Charles Hamilton dropped a track two weeks ago called “Bud Dwyer” and it used a familiar sample (Bobby Womack’s “And I Love Her”) used by 9th Wonder. I really am assuming that Charles produced this joint in light of the accusations of him stealing other peoples music (he address this issue somewhat on the track). [...]

K-Os: Yes!
