Kanye is being sued by Dayna Staggs, A.K.A. DMystro, for copyright infringement:

“Staggs says that West ‘didn’t obtain a license to use ‘Volume of Good Life’ for his tune [The Good Life]. D’Mystro is also peeved because Kanye’s song “contains vulgar and offensive” images and “harms the reputation” of his much cleaner song. He wants 85% of all world sales of the proceeds from the music that uses his work, though he doesn’t explain how he came up with that number.”

Watch your back Kanye, this dude is trying to dig deep in your pockets.

    BUT DAMN, 85% IS A LOT!!!! I THINK HE’S OVER-REACTING A BIT.. HE SHOULD BE HAPPY SOMEONE AS HOT AS KANYE PUT IT BACK OUT THERE… BUT WHATEVER….

  • and another one…

  • gap & gucci

    they wouldn’t want any money if it hadn’t been such a hit

    and i refuse to believe ‘ye didn’t clear the sample. hasn’t he learned?

  • bree

    BE..i thought so too!..85% is a bit much..Dmysytro(w/e) is probably being raped by his/her label and now he’s/she’s going after Yeezy for the dough..

  • artscola08

    I dunno why but Kanye looks like Missy Elliot in this pic.

  • I’m Just Me

    WOW!!! Kanye I thought you and Jay and them over at the ROC was on point. What is this? What is this? 85% does sound steep. I don’t know the orignal song but it seems you brought it back for the man. He’ll be alright! But I agree…watch your back yo!

    if he stole the hook, he needs to pay up.

  • thatbrutha

    Pay the piper.

    When are rappers gonna make songs that last? And when are niccas gonna give props to old groups and song like the white boys do?

  • Damn, fish again!!!!!

    uh…wuddup with the “lil drummer boy” baseball jacket?

  • K-ten

    he’s supposed to be so talented, ugh! so, do Kanye fans really like Kanye, or what he’s taken from other people?

    I’m not sure if 85% is a lot, but when you take anyone’s stuff without permission, no amount is really too much, i mean, you used there stuff. I heard before that he used Evil Kenevil’s (sp) image on one of his videos and he was gonna sue Kanye.

    Cant anybody be original anymore? thats why i dont even bother going to concerts or buying their music cause its never the artist thats really talented.

    p.s. i agree with toni b.

  • K-ten

    i meant to say, I’m not sure if 85% is a lot OR not enough.

    their*

    …got a little excited

  • Roni

    Didn’t the Rick James-M.C. Hammer thing teach Kanye ANYTHING?!

  • http://Tenbul2@yahoo.com WakTakTen

    Kanye is too damm “old” to be having his underwear showing onstage.Leave that look to the teenagers.

  • memchee

    if kanye used the song w/o p-mission then he should get start handing over some stacks now.

  • sello

  • Ann

    It’s so ugly! I like him at that time . But now , what he did disappointed me. I first knew just from a web called Wealthychat.com there he had a nice profile. But now it’s seems a lie. SO ugly

  • Carla

    fiancé Alexis Phifer

    You know I noticed Kanye’s fiance Alexis doesn’t look happy at all, I thought marriage made women happy, lol. Alexis looks freaking pissed! Ha ha !

    Ahhh, what gold diggers put up with for the money score ! Alexis is just a typical baby momma trying to aim for higher status and some serious upgrades like breast implants and some face work, etc. :)
