KANYE WEST SUED FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT » Another day, another bogus lawsuit against my boy Kanye West. Kanye is being sued by a Maryland songwriter/producer for copyright infringement.

Dayna “D’Mystro” Staggs filed the lawsuit in Maryland District Court last week claiming West “didn’t obtain a license” to sample his record “Volume of Good Life” for the song featured on West’s third album, “Graduation,” reports WENN. In legal papers, Staggs states West “was only at the age of six or seven years of age” when his song was written. He has also objected to the “vulgar and offensive” images associated with the song, claiming it “harms the reputation” of his inoffensive tune.

Staggs seeks 85 percent of all world sales of the proceeds from “Good Life,” although he fails to detail exactly how he came up with that number, reports WENN. West is named in the lawsuit alongside his various record labels, including his own G.O.O.D. Music and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s Roc-A-Fella Records. [ VIA EUR WEB » ]

85%? Dude must be on something serious! And here I am thinking Good Life sampled Michael Jackson’s PYT. I gotta take a listen to this Volume of Good Life song though. The only thing that and Kanye’s “Good Life” probably has in common is the name, lol!

JAY-Z & BEYONCE

FYI: This list is in no particular order…

2007 is coming to a close, and we here at Think2wice thought it would be the perfect time to highlight some of the greatest moments, people, etc. of the past year! First up, is “Favorite Couples.” And you guessed it, Jay-Z and Beyonce are perched at the top of this list! These two cause a stir in the gossip blogs whenever their names are mentioned. It’s gotten to the point where we’ve given them one name … Jayonce. Despite both of their busy schedules, Jayonce still finds the time to spend time with each other, whether it be a sporting event, a week-long vacation, or just having dinner at one of NYC’s top restaurants. Recently, rumors sparked of the two being married after people spotted matching tattoos on their ring fingers (IV - “FOURever” ??), but those rumors were immediately shot down by one of Jay-Z’s reps. Who knows … they probably are married! Hell, didn’t Janet keep her marriage to that guy from the public for like 10 or more years? Anyhow, hate it or love it, Beyonce and Jay-Z are with each other for the long run, as long as they keep their relationship as private as it has been for the past 4 years. CONTINUE READING

The woman behind the Baby Phat women’s clothing line, known as Kimora Lee Simmons, has been slapped with a lawsuit from department store chain Macy’s! Why? Well apparently she has been overcharging said department store for her line of beauty products.

According to The New York Post, Macy’s claims that they signed an agreement with Kimora to supply their store with her beauty products but she allegedly hiked up their prices and refused to pay back the extra profit. Macy’s lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week. Damages being sought by the popular department were not revealed.

Like, real talk … she didn’t think she’d get caught?
