Johnson claims the group used his song "Is It Because I'm Black?" during the “Lock Down” interlude. Fans of Cypress may remember the album that spawned the hit song "Insane in the Brain" as it debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts.
The sample has also been used by Wu-Tang Clan and Styles P. Johnson, who is 72, is seeking $29 million dollars in the lawsuit which claims the sample was taken without permission.

this guy old, broke as fuck, and his pension just went down the pan thanks to some fat fucker in wall street, course he wants his cut hahahaha.
this niggas old age got him insane in the brain son
dammmmm!
i agree that 29 mil is way out there. but that goes to show people producing now and days get permission before you use peoples samples. this shit will go away he will never get 29 mil for this.
$29 million..is this old man out of his mind...this guy must have that serious dementia..did that cd even go platinum..i guarantee this guy doesnt even get half that
why would this nigga sue 15 years later like wtf nigga u 72 noone cares about your broke ass and i hope the courts ask him why it took his ass so long to sue then and why isnt he suing styles p or cassidy they both used his sample
lol u really think they got 29 MIL LOLOLOL
I HOPE SYL JOHNSON SUES THEM FOR ALL THEY GOT... MAYBE THEN I CAN WATCH YOUTUBE IN PEACE WITHOUT SEEING "B-REAL" TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TO SMOKE.... fucking losers.
shit,dem niggaz ain't got no money.dey ain't had a hit song since "insane in the brain"
how you know they aint got money, are you their accountant. they may have invested their money in some lucrative things. niggas kill me thinking that just because someone isnt in the limelight means they broke. just like it dont mean a nigga paid cause he is in the limelight.
by the way i aint saying these niggas got that kind of bread, just saying i dont know what they bank account look like
^^^^^^^^^^ i second that. those guys toured over the years ALOT. they stay on tour. they might be one hit wonders to a lot of people, but they have a faithful fan base that gets their music and pays to see them perform. unless they were bumping that interlude on stage (LMAO) i don't think ol' dude will be getting the doe, but it doesn't mean those guys aren't comfortable money wise.
This nigga crazy, took him this long to realize they used his sample, and now he suin? Get the fuk outta here...
You know what sucks? Is that his old ass will probably win the lawsuit! He's asking for a huge ass amount $29 mil--because he knows the judge will knock it to like $7 mil--and think it's a break for Cypress Hill!!! I hope the judge looks at this and thinks the same shit--15 years Dawg--get the Fuck outta here!!!!!
i agree wit ya. there should be a statute of limitation time limit attached to shit like this. 15 years is a long ass time to realize somebody used ya shit for a sample.
Probably shoulda cleared that sample haha
that dudes gonna die before he see's any of that doe anyway.
29 milli for an interlude
mannn 29 mil is alot for a hit
and that aint even a hit
29 mil!, this old man ain't worth a cent now!, a decade an a half later he sues, what is wrong wit him?!
Embarrassment to law. 15years? But you can still be convicted of crime committed ages ago if they feel like getting. I hope they throw this out though. 29mil is just the ceiling price. Dude will probably settle out of court for 2mil. Jay said it best "pay your taxes you niggas is hustlin backwards"
You also have to blame the lawyer representing this fool. Why defend a case that is non-sense? These are the lawyers that give the profession a bad name and make we the people not trust the process. Legally it is just to go to court but morally dumb. Morality should out-weigh legalities all-day.
who gives a shit...cypress hill's kinda gay anyways...the only tight thing about em is that they smoke weed pretty much
Dont break the law...clear samples and then shit like this wont happen
