Another Day, Another Lawsuit
Posted by Bossip Staff
Weezy is being sued once again:
Lil Wayne is being sued over allegations he’s stolen parts of a song by The Rolling Stones.
Abcko Music Inc alleges that Weezy, his producers and label Universal have plagiarised the Stones’ song Play with Fire- which they own the rights to- on his song Playin’ With Fire. The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan and claims the Wayne track- from his album Tha Carter III- is clearly copied from the Stones track.
The company- which is seeking unspecified damages- also says the lyric “But don’t play with me/ ’cause you’re playing with fire,” is obviously changed by the rapper to “But you can’t blame me/ if I set this stage on fire.” Lil Wayne was this week knocked off the US album chart number one by Nas but Tha Carter III is still likely to be one of the biggest selling LPs of 2008.
This lil nicca stay getting sued…the Bentley, the jewelry, he even was sued for making it rain on hoes. SMH. This suit seems rather legitimate, but don’t rappers “borrow” material on the regular?
Read some more lawsuit news involved Brooklyn’s Don Diva and plastic surgery’s posterchild right now..
Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown are used having the book thrown at ‘em — just not actually writing them. The two felonius rappers just got sued by Simon & Schuster, the publishing house, for failing to deliver on books they were paid to write. And it’s not like they didn’t have the time to write ‘em — both spent long stints in prison; Kim for perjury, Foxy for assault. S&S wants their money back — over $100K in total — with interest. Neither rapper’s lawyer could be immediately reached.
Aww, Foxy can’t catch no breaks. Hopefully she won’t be expecting Jigga to dig her out of this hole as well…

He is playful,right? he is a hot member of ” C a s u a l S e e k . C o m ” which is for casual encounter for romance. he has dated several hot girls on that club.
Beat it fnioeu with your web nonsense you wierdo
i was waiting for this moment to come..because i heard it
Can I get third?
The Rolling Stones? This may be a tough lawsuit to beat Weezy.
Nope! 4th! Shyte!
That is stupid, people borrow lyrics all the time as an ode (or respect) to that line. This isn’t a verse or beat…
WELL, IF THEY DONT WRITE THEIR OWN LYRICS, WHO CAN EXPECT THEM TO WRITE THEIR OWN BOOKS?(maybe their ghost writers can lend them a hand in this before its too late..lol)

Dang Foxy can’t get a break can you? You on your way to brokesville.
Anywayz! You can’t take lyrics and change them a lil bit without being sued? I haven’t heard either song but this line that they quoted must be from the hooks of one of the songs or both. Well, I hope for Wayne’s sake that it doesn’t go to court and the Stones win. Rappers are always “borrowing” someone else’s lines; even from each other. This doesn’t sound like it’ll hold up in court. We’ll see
foxy should read http://www.girlfriendchurch.com where are her girlfriends? she needs intervention
and with kim and foxy…*****ody cares
they should be able to come to an agreement..i mean weezy,rollin stones?you have let them kno
lollypop
The titles are similar and that line being used over and over is probably what’s causing this suit. Rappers may “borrow” lines, but certain artists copyright their materials to avoid this. The record labels have people that listen to the albums/read lyrics etc. before they release the albums, so if they thought it was going to be a problem, they would have said something up front.

emmmm….
Why does it not occur to people to get permission to use other people’s sh/t?!?
why dont people just ask, and it will be much easier instead og a lawsuit……….whats ridiculous is that i read this morning that 50 cent is suing taco bell for using his name, when actually 50 stole his name from someone else……..JUST ASK 4 CHRISTS SAKE
^^^^of^^^^^
Well that lyric isn’t that similar to me at all. But i don’t know. People always have a bunch of stuff. Does Weezy write his own shyt?? I don’t see Weezy listening to the stones.
END THIS BEFORE KHIA GETS STARTED ON PEOPLE HATING ON HER BABY AND WHAT NOT.
As for Foxy…can they still give her the chance to write the book?I would like to read it and see through the eyes of Foxy and her effed up perception. Rather read it then hear here crappy verse.
I really hate these people talking about the celebrities or rich men joined the famous dating site W e a l t h y L o v e s c om. Could you people please have a break?? Is it really a place to meet the rich a celebrities??(

Weezy, in this picture, looks like he’s tryin’ hard as hell to squeeze out a rough one.
FOXY EVEN SAID:
“You a industry *****, Ima in the streets *****!”
INDUSTRY HOES LIKE LIL’ JIM AND TRICK-NA AINT NEVA HAD NO RESPECT FROM NONE OF THEIR PEERS.
The Rolling Stones have been around for about 50 years right. They’ve made countless albums so people are bound to say something close to what they have said. I think they need to let it go and not hate on Lil Wayne unless he took their whole song. They already have tons of money.
Thats song be rockin too. Thats one of my favorite joints on the album.
Lol… even though I luv me some Wayne, I see this from two sides. I’ve noticed that Weezy’s been jacking a lot of people ***** lately, from Aliyah to Janet and I figured that this would happen soon but… come on now, that Rolling Stones thing could’ve been a coincidence.
THAS HELLA BOOSY HE CHANGED THA WHOLE THANG THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY HE EVEN LISTEN TO THEY OLD *****ES

NEW TRACK UP “BABY B YONCE”
Brits don’t play silly games they almost bankrupted a band called Verve who is white/brit. Whatever damages they are seeking, they are going to get. Don’t sample The Beatles or The Rolling Stones they will bleed you dry.
Yea that creep Lil Wayne stole the beat for “Lollipop” from the dancehall riddim “Gully Creepa”.
Gully Creepa came out 6 months before Lollipop. He didn’t want to pay the producer of the beat, who had no means since he was in Jamaica. But I am happy the rolling stones will get that *****. They are worth about what 1 billion.
and them dudes is tripping O.K. the names sound suspiciously close but the track come on now !
Of course he stole it. That’s why rappers are no talent *****s! They suck! They are for LOSERS!
i am trying to remeber whosongthe rolling stones stole. Was it otis redding?
Black folks keep white people payed don’t we? modern day slavery. Just give ya’ll money to the white man!!!!
I don’t give a damn what color you are. If you “borrow” somebody’s *****, you should have permission first. Thats the law and thats why his ***** is getting sued. The same thing has happened to a bunch of artists trying to be all sly stealing other peoples *****. Give credit where credit is due…or better yet come up with your own *****.
Yeah, wayne aint nothin’ comin’ messin’ wit’ the RollingStones, them dudes got lawyers and the people that own their stuff, aint playin’ either, see the problem is whenever you use, anybodies stuff you have to get permission, usually cats dont trip they wait for it to hit then sue for part of the profits in this case, them dudes probaly aint want dude *****ociated with their music/legacy, keep your money, reprint the record without my stuff on it, they just dont want to be *****ociated with Wayne, dont blame ‘em, dude is pathetic.
That’s just part of the game. . .when you sell 1,000,000 copies in 7 days, you’re-a-TARGET! period.

And you believe that ish, please, Baby and Universal bought 50%, stupid cats went an bought the other half on the bandwagon tryna’ keep up with the Jones’s, thats old school ish, lable been buyin’ they records back to make it look like its a hit, since Eazy E and Bone was jackin’ the “Box”, man people believe what they want…
This case will get thrown out. Lyrics were changed and, excuse me but the lyric itself is so vague, it could be a billion and one other things.
I still love that track…
im sooooo tired of ppl saying how much they just LOVE kanye and lil wayne and talk about how TALENTED they are when they’ve been sued for taking (not borrowing) other people’s ideas without any type of permission. thats not what being a true artist is. or a true musician.
if they are so talented, why cant you do it all yourself? i’d rather listen to Weird Al. much more entertaining IMO. disagree if you want, but i dont care.
NICE! My friend recommended me a very interesting place ☆☆☆”NYwealthyMatch . c o m”"”"”"”"☆☆☆ If you’ve ever been there you will know what I mean….
