Jay Z and Timbaland sued for using sample in 1999 song ‘Big Pimpin’
Jay Z’s copyright troubles over his 16-year-old song “Big Pimpin'” are resurfacing to haunt him. A music composer’s nephew is suing the entertainment mogul and the song’s producer, Timbaland, over copyright claims regarding a flute sample.
The Arabian-sounding flute in question is heard within the beat throughout the 1999 song about having casual sex with women and discarding them. The rap hit, which featured UGK, was on Jay Z’s fourth album, Vol 3…Life And Times of S. Carter.
Timbaland has said that he found the flute sound he used to produce the song on a CD without any identification, so he figured it was in the public domain, according to Daily Mail. But it turns out the sample was composed by Baligh Hamdy in 1957 for an Egyptian movie, Khosara, Khosara.
After it was discovered where the sample derived, Jay Z’s camp payed $100,000 to EMI Arabia, the label that was believed to have rights over the film. The label gave part of that payment to Hamdy’s family, as the composer had died in 1993.
But Hamdy’s nephew and heir, Osama Ahmed Fahmy, filed a lawsuit in 2007 in U.S. court claiming the deal was not recognized under Egyptian law. His lawsuit states that Khosara, Khosara is regarded as important to Egyptian culture and that at the time of the deal, the country’s law did not allow for a “blanket license to make derivative works that alter or add to the copyright.”
“At the very least, regardless of the scope of the copyright license, the author is required to consent on a case-by-case basis to any alteration of his work,” the suit says.
Fahmy’s lawyers say their client is seeking payment from both Jay Z, who is worth about $560 million, and Timbaland, who is worth around $80 million. The attorneys say they are prepared to bring in experts to evaluate the amount of money “Big Pimpin'” has made from the flute sample.
Jay Z’s lawyers are rejecting the validity of the argument.
“The notion that people buy concert tickets to hear one song, never mind an instrumental sample contained in one song that may or may not be performed at any given concert, is beyond speculative — it is farcical,” said a court motion from the defense.
The jury trial is set for Oct. 13 in Los Angeles.
Kandi Burruss’ Surprise Baby Shower!
“RHOA” star Kandi Burruss was smitten after she was surprised with a baby shower over the weekend.
The soon-to-be mom again was wrapping things up after a convention with her Bedroom Kandi consultants where they came bearing gifts for Baby Tucker! Kandi captioned the surprise saying, “Today our #BedroomKandi convention ended & my consultants surprised me with a baby shower! Thank you! That was a great surprise! BedroomKandi.com” Well that was nice of them.
As we can see, none of the gifts subliminally tell if it’s a boy or a girl, so we’re still waiting to find out if they'll be welcoming a boy or a girl soon.

In not so nice EMPIRE NEWS: ‘Empire’ actor Shut Down After Trying to Jump Line at Memphis Club
‘Empire’ Actor Bryshere Gray was turned away when he tried to pull rank on people waiting in line at a popular Memphis nightspot Saturday night.
Gossip tabloid TMZ.com reports Gray, 21, “came out of nowhere” and bogarded his way to the front of a line outside one of the nightclubs that dot Memphis’ famous Beale Street.
Gray, who plays wannabe rapper Hakeem Lyon on ‘Empire’, thought he was important enough to jump the line. Most celebrities have household names that opens doors for them without waiting on line.
Unfortunately for Gray, the bouncer had no clue who he was — even after he showed the bouncer his ID.
Before joining the cast of Empire, Gray was a struggling rapper who went by the nom de guerre “Yazz the Greatest”.
A witness told TMZ there were at least 35 people waiting in line. The witness said a shouting match ensued between Gray, his bodyguard and the no-nonsense bouncer.
Gray and his bodyguard finally left when the bouncer refused to budge. Gray later attended the 2015 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Is There Is A Supreme x Air Jordan 1 On The Way? [Photos]
Supreme just released its fall/winter 2015 lookbook, but there are far more pressing matters. While the Supreme and Brand Jordan collab is a given (see: the Supreme x Air Jordan V), there is also a Supreme x Air Jordan 1 in the works.
Instead of the “wings” logo, you had a “94” near the ankle and part of the Supreme logo on the red Nike Swoosh on the black shoe.
Are these legit or are we getting trolled. If the former is true, these are pretty much already sold out.
