hip hop giant took the short word form
Eddie Bo's 1969 single "Hook and Sling".
Jay Z » has been slammed with a new lawsuit
for using one word - OH - in his 2009 hit song
"Run This Town" which also featured Kanye
West » and Rihanna » .
According to record label TufAmerica, the hip
hop giant took the short word form Eddie Bo's
1969 single "Hook and Sling".
The "Holy Grail" hit-maker has already responded
to the accusation. His legal rep stated that, "Even
if one short word – or the recording thereof –
could possibly be deemed original enough to
warrant copyright protection, this fleeting and
generic phrase is neither quantitatively nor
qualitatively significant."
Therefore they've reportedly set a motion to
dismiss the lawsuit but it remains unclear if
TufAmerica will accept to walk away.
Meanwhile, Jay Z is reportedly working on a
joint album with his superstar wife, Beyonce
» with whom he shares a daughter, Blue Ivy » .
