When I listened to the tracks side by side it's hard to say it doesn't seem hard to say it it very petty to sue someone over "a tounge roll and one word". And it'd not even M.O.P. doing the suing, it's there manager. I believe in compensating someone for using their stuff but thats crazy.
i listened to it too. and as a hip hop producer i know many producers that lost rights to their songs because of a sample.
if jay z fifty cent, m.o.p. gangstarr and other rappers have to pay for samples then so should everyone else. someone is making money of it, so they should get paid for it.
I consider myself an old soul, sometimes somewhat of a soulchild. Born in Jamaica in the freshest year ever... 1978. 5 years later, I discovered hip hop. 1984, I saw my first hip hop movie... Breakin'... yess. Then it was all downhill from there. 1985 I moved to Brooklyn, NY and in just one year I was in Da Bronx... Da Boogie Down... The Mecca of Hip Hop. I felt at home, at peace... ready for whatever. Loving the atmosphere and the vibe of the most thorough of boroughs, I grew up finishing elementary school and in my second year of middle school, 1992, I saw the movie that would change my life forever and begin my downward spiral into the depths of hip hop. Yes, I saw Juice. The movie and soundtrack totally took over my life. I all of a sudden wanted to be a DJ... and since the day I saw that movie is when I realized how much I loved hip hop.
