EMINEM IS BEING SUED
did Eminem steal someone’s song?



Using another rapper’s flow isn’t exactly rare in hip-hop, but not every instance ends in a lawsuit, Eminem is facing a lawsuit over his 2013 hit single “ Rap god. ” which Broke Guinness World Record. Raymond Jones, a member of a Chicago rap group Hotstylz alleges that Shady lifted a sample of their record “Lookin’ Boy” for a portion of his song, which appeared on The Marshall Mathers LP 2 . According to TMZ , Jones is seeking $8 million in the lawsuit, which targets both Eminem and his label Interscope Records. he says it features a 25 seconds sample mid track of his song "Lookin' Boy" If you listen to the songs -- the music in question does sound strangely similar



Although it sounds like Eminem was inspired by the “Lookin Boy” flow, he doesn’t actually use the song’s exact lyrics on “Rap god.” In comparison, to Chris Brown’s “Loyal” French Montana uses both Ma$e and Biggie’s flows and lyrics, so both artists are given writing credit on the song to avoid legal issues. Do you think the Chicago rappers have a strong case here?
