Hahninator Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 http://www.chronicmagazine.com/public.php?page_id=2245&level=1 "Super-producer Timbaland and Jay-Z have been hit with a lawsuit over the single "Big Pimpin." Copyright co-owner Osama Admed Fahmy filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court, claiming that Timbaland illegally replayed portions of "Big Pimpin" note-for-note, using a melody lifted from the song "Khosara, Khosara" which was written by composer Baligh Hamdi and performed by Egyptian star Abdel-Halim Hafez in 1957. "Big Pimpin," which also features UGK, appears on Jay-Z's album Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter. Jay-Z, Timbaland, Linkin Park, EMI Music Inc. are among the defendants named in the lawsuit over the hit single, which was also mashed up on Linkin Park's song "Papercut" on the EP Collision Course." The song, Khosara Khosara, can be downloaded here. Thanks to DJ Ravok for the info. Weird stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarknessLover Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 My mom knew about the original song, I didn't think they would get sued for it since it is just a sample... Quote The Park is Back? No way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stllmn8j Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm still waiting for someone to pop in with "I told you Collision Course was a bad idea!" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azemkamikaze03 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 lol i still blast collision course man and yea its all a money wanting thing. Timb should have cleared the beat and I guess at the end of the day it should be on him, but I think it's a big deal because of their status in the music industry. If it was a rapper and producer on the local highrise level im sure there wouldnt be a problem lol. Quote ¿whysoserious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessLover Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I told you Collision Course was a bad idea! I didn't like it, not one bit, none of the songs were mixed well, not even like Numb/Encore was that great, it was so badly edited, you could hear the repeats in chesters screams, overall was a bad album, someone should get smacked for the idea.

manahoonie Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 probable end results: LP will be left out of it, seeing how they weren't the original ones to use the song...they used one of Jay-Z's songs. It will most likely end up that Timberland DID get permission to sample it a while before he offered it up to Jay-Z... ...so the guy probably was already payed to have it sampled...then decided that it wasn't enough after it became a hit, then used again for another song... something like the Nike swoosh deal, where the lady that designed it was only paid like $100 or something in a contest to design the logo. only she isn't sueing Nike, because she entered it in a contest to be used legit.

Acezorz Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I doubt he'll even win the lawsuit.. Ah well, it shouldn't be LP's problem; they only did a mashup. It's Jay-Z who's in trouble, and I don't really care lol ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azemkamikaze03 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Well, by obligation LP is supposed to clear the sample as well. It's like a standard procedure, seeing as though they used the beat. Of course at the end of it all itll realy hit the hardest on timbo and jay because of they were the first and most direct with it, but yea thats assuming they are guilty and what not Quote ¿whysoserious?
