ima write some shit right now, copyright it, and if i hear a rapper use anything similar to it from now til 2050, I'm suing...

I can't knock the hustle... but damn! smh

Boy i tell ya, niggas always lookin for a fuckin handout. Good Life contains “vulgar and offensive” content that could be damgaing to his reputation??? Get the fuck outta here!

Sure it was a sample, but 85%. Nigga Please!

A gree with ya'll. 85%? G.F.O. (getda fuck outahere) If it wasn't for kanye sampling his track no one would even know who the fuck that guy was. He could of came a Ye a lil bit different like thank you for blowing up my once dead track. Then Ye may have broken him of a slice of the guda (cheese aka $) but know I seriously hope the judge awards him a big fat feces sandwich!

Damn Kanye..

If the content in “The Good Life” is offensive to him, then I wanna know hear the content in the songs he writes
… Nah I don’t for real

Wow that fucking sucks yo. Kanye keep ya head up.
TwoOne go to sleep. Its to late/early for dat bullshit

yo man this world leads you into some scandalous shit if you can't make dividends from another resource or resources. besides the economy being in recession nigga's will try to eat regardless.

id sue that nigga too if he used my shit, yall would too...fuckit...i wouldnt hit him for 85% though...id take a little, but really, id just want him to give me my propers...

SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE DES NIGGA NEED TA BE A BETTER EXAMPLE 4 DA KIDS HE INFLUENCING WIT DEM LIL TIGHT ASS GET UPS HE BE WEARING AND WE KNOW HE ALWAYS STEALING SOME SHIT DIDDY JR.

Damn. Wow.

Muthafuckas is simply lame. Period.

Fuck dat. Da dude got a copyright regardless of how lame da song was. We dont kno he could have came at Ye behind doors. Besides if its me I'd sue 2. Yea 4 alot 2 let da judge tell me no. Come here dolla bills

If 85% of that song is sampled why not claim 85% of the profits? Granted the dude seems to be reaching but if Ye didn't have his business together homie should get what he can.

I can understand where the dude suing is coming from, someone used a sample of some of your material, and made some money off of it and he wants a bite of that cake...

I feel him on that, but hes really over duing it with trying to get Kanyes Label and The Roc involved also....This dude is just trying to get some quick cash by doing all that

If i was him i would contact kanye and talk something out, doesnt have to run threw court all the rime...Ye could of cut him a check..and that could of been it.

Let’s get one thing clear. This Maryland dude could be right, yes maybe they stole his Sounds,… but he had this song for how long now? He should be mo’fuckin grateful Ye did his punk ass a favor & let the world rock to this joint. Really who was going to hear his joint if Kanye didn’t sample it? Do you know how may peeps Copped The Graduation? I for sure didn’t copp Ye’s album, I just can’t stand his attitude. But the man is a Hit maker, anything he touches turns to perfection.
It’s unbelievable how y’all think Ye would just still this dude’s sounds,…c’mon y’all. This will settle out of court or will be thrown out by Judge Judy w/out a commercial break either....ha ha ha

Maybe it would just be better if he stopped sampling music period and actually come up with something original. Then maybe he could save the trouble of always having to get sued. That's the problem nowdays, everyone try to steal someone else's stuff in order for them to be successful.

85%??? Not fair, not fair at all. How come dude, wanna come out wit dis lawsuit after the goes gold? If the song flopped we wouldn't be utterin this story, let alone be commenting on it. So dude need to chill, I agree he needs his cut, but 85%???, trippin....Learn it.

ReDef.

AND USING SOME BODY ELSE'S SHIT AINT FAIR EITHER.

1st off Fuck Stagg. Kanye West should've cleared using his shit but the fact that Stagg says Kanyes version contains volgour and offensive content, man fuck that kanye is one of the cleanist rappers his lyrics usually aren't derogitory. I can see sueing for the rights that you should be entitled to but 85% without working on the new version, it would seem greed has a firm grip on just about everybody

this shit was posted diffrent yesterday is there new info since the last 1?

Damage his rep shit honestly I haven't even heard of this nigga song untill kanye sampled it if. N e thing if I was ye I'd be sueing him for getting mad I made his sample a hit

mann kanye should have that mother fucker assasinated on some real shit, grimy ass people out there just hatin on people like kanye, i dont like it when one of my niggas from chicago has 2 go through this mannnnn FIGHT THE POWER

Yea the dude who made the original does gotta point... and Kanye, bein on his way to a super-producer, should have known better than to use it without clearing it so the dude definatelty deserves somethin but he porlly aint gonna get shit if he keep askin for too much

85% Fuck... Why doesn't he just ask for the 100% if he is going to ask for that much.

Kanye pay ur dues nigga ppl get fucked up for that shit

y mutha fuckas gotta hate on kanye just cause he doin his thang and handlin his buissness

WTF....well anyway I think its kinda stupid...for 85% I mean damn...if he was 6 or 7 when he wrote the song....What the fuck would it care if somebody used a sample Now...also...the Vulgar and offensive language is also very stupid mainly because he is a grown ass man..and he could cuss in any song he want to........People trying to make a quick come up by any means neccesary.....I mean...first nigga sues Game over getting his ass jawed..now a writer is suing Kanye from sample taking......and like Icebergchien said.....That nigga should be grateful that Kanye even sample his shit.....I don't care if Kanye sample everything because at the end of the day...that shit sounds good..hell his graduation proved that sampling can also help people

Have any you you people heard the origional??
For all you know Kanye could straight jacked this niggas shit, made hundreds of thousands off it and Ye aint give him shit. Crazy. Depending on how much Ye jacked, 85 might be fair for real. I dont know cuz i aint hear the orig and neither did yall niggas.

I cant beleive yall that side with Kanye....first off he "claims" to be sooo original but he's copying music...you know damn well u heard the song and said hey...let me make a few changes and use it...thats stealing....unless u clear it and pay for it....I understand why dude wants so much....cuz so much of the song is his...the hook..the beat.....thats what had that song at number one...u wasnt saying awww Kanye killed the Good life..he lyrically murdered it...nah u was hittin the floor...boppin ya heads....turnin up the radio so pay ya dues champ....I fucks with u anyway but these same rappers complain about niggas re-using lines and stuff....GTFOH

Yo how many times has this happened to Kanye, seriously
He need to stop samplin so damn much
Like every beat he make got like 5 or more samples

I mean knaye my dude but he is a samplehead and is making a killing off of it so the originals are entitled to something at least some recognition maybe not 85% tho. if they do recieve 85% will it hurt kanyes pockets I doubt it.

dam i didnt kno kanye gets down like that he goin out with that ugly girl remmy ma

Kanye look stupid wit them big fluffy ass scarfs around his neck and some tight ass pants... What kinda fashion statement he tryin to make??

The statement that says " Im rich and I can afford to look like a homo"..on a real tip, I dont give a fuck, if a dudes eating and eating GOOD off of my work, whether I made last night or last year, and I did all the original work and composition and a dude literally stole my already recorded song and got PAID off of it, I'd sue the fuck out of him too. Aint nobody eating better than me off the work I did. Thats why you get sample clearances. Get the fuck outta here Kanye. Pay the man.

Thats what his sample heavy production ass gets...get some real beats of your own, not a Chimpmunk on meth sounding sample.

Reel talk Kanye is the earliest producer i kno using tnhe whoe sample vibe + Through The Wire went hard. But dat dont mean u can go beat jackin. Come on think bout it. Kanye *sometimes* act really femaleish(yea i jus made up da word) I can see him tellin somebody fuck off dis is my song.

damaging to what reputation...no1's ever heard of dude b4 this except kanye since he jacked his song

ye make that bread nigga

I mean..really everybody ask yourself this one question....If Kanye didn't make it Big and basically was a Flop but still sampled everybody shit...would ole man from Maryland or whatever would have said thats my song?.......In my opinion I think Not.....
