(AllHipHop News) Rapper Soulja Boy, artist JBar, Arab and Soulja Boy’s S.O.D. Money Gang Entertainment are being sued by a clothing designer who claims the rapper stole his slogan and used it for his “gang.”The lawsuit, which was filed in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Friday (July 30th), claims that Soulja Boy, JBar and others stole the S.O.D. Money Gang “code of honor” used by group members. Clement Brown Jr., who owns the clothing line Laundry Money, claims that Soulja Boy and crew stole the copyrighted verbiage that was originally featured on T-Shirts from his Laundry Money Clothing Line.According to the lawsuit, Laundry Money’s slogan, which was copyrighted in 2008 reads:“grind…hustle hard…double up…flip…stack…get your weight up…save…cop…invest…re-cop…reinvest….buy property…network…build credit…stay determined…”Lawyers for Brown claim that Soulja Boy’s “code of honor” is actually his copyrighted work. According to the lawsuit, Soulja Boy merely added lines to the slogan:“Grind..Hustle..Double Up..Flip..Stack..Get Yo Weight Up..Save..Shop..Invest..Recoup.Own Your Own Business..Buy Property..Network..Build Credit..Stay Determined..Stay Focused..Stay Dedicated..Never Lie To your Higher Authority..Have Goals..Always Remember money First…Gang Color Yellow and Green…Never Snitch..etc…”Jeffery P. Thennisch, who is representing Brown and Laundry Money, even points to evidence on Soulja Boy’s body. The Pontiac, Michigan-based lawyer revealed the rapper has a portion of the slogan permanently tattooed across his chest. Additionally, lawyers noted a website posting from Soulja Boy, born Deandre Cortez Way,  referring to the slogan as his “code of honor,” in addition to providing a photo of the tattoo from a photo shoot the rapper did with Urban Ink. Clement Brown Jr. and Laundry Money seek an unknown amount in damages for loss of sales, lost profits, loss of good will, copyright infringement and injunction to prevent the further use of the slogan.

http://www.vibe.com/posts/big-reveal-eminem-dr-dre-cover-vibes-juice-issue THE BEST EMINEM DISS TRACK ACCORDING TO EM: 

What was the best thing someone said about you? Was there ever a hot Eminem diss?Um, no. [Laughs.] Nah, I’m kidding. S###, there was a couple of lines Everlast said like, “You ain’t running up on me with no empty gun.” I know that there is a lot of s### that I would have said about me.

EMINEM ON DEATHDo you think about  your own death?Yeah, I do. A lot. I think about it a lot. I try not to  think about it but I do and it creeps me the f### out. It creeps me out  because they say that if I got to the hospital two hours later then I would be  gone. I think about that a lot. When I lay in bed at night is when I think  about it the most. It creeps me out man.

EMINEM ON BRITTANY  MURPHY’S PASSING

 

 What were your thoughts when you heard  that your 8 Mile co-star Brittany Murphy had passed?It was  crazy. It’s crazy. It’s crazy because at one point we were very close and she  was a really good person. It’s crazy when you see things not just with her but  just all these things that are happening in Hollywood with people in music,  with people in acting . . . . . . famous people. Famous  people. Famous people are overdosing at alarming rates and—that almost sounded  like a commercial. Wow.

 It sounded like a Sally Struthers  commercial. “Please give to this charity.”Right. But they are. And  it’s one of those things man where you’re famous, doctors will kiss your ass  because they love the celebrity. “Oh, I can call up Eminem and get him on the  phone right now. Oh, hi Marshall, how are you doing? Do you need that  [prescription]?” There are doctors that will give you certain things just  because of who you are. More quotes from Dr. Dre coming from VIBE.com soon.

Em’s Recovery Continues #1 Reign; Blocks Tom Jones From #1

(AllHipHop News) Eminem’s album Recovery continues to trounce the competition. This week, Recovery beat out Sir Tom Jones’ latest album Praise and Blame, which was expected to take the top slot from the American rapper. According to sales data released by the Official Charts Company, the Welsh singer was hoping to become the oldest male musician in the world to have a #1 album on the charts. Billboard reports that Jones’ album was on pace to top the charts, until a surge in sales of Recovery later in the week helped keep Eminem’s album on top of the chart. “As I got sober i started rediscovering things about myself that I think i had forgotten for so long, that I suppressed down or whatever through my addiction. the whole theme of the record is that a a person I feel better than I have ever felt. Em’s reign on the top of the U.S. charts could end this week when Nielsen Soundscan releases official sales data from last week. According to reports, Avenged Sevenfold’s album Nightmare could knock Recovery from the top slots, with first week sales estimated to be between 160-170,000.

Concert Review: B.o.B. and Friends MySpace/HP Concert

B.O.B. returned to his Atlanta hometown Saturday for a free concert sponsored by MySpace Live and HP. Despite a torrential rainstorm hundreds of people took advantage of the $0 tickets and packed the Center Stage venue to watch B.O.B. and friends perform all their favorites. The ones that couldn’t attend viewed the event on Ustream and on AllHipHop.com. Fans were not disappointed.

The opening line up perfectly primed the stage for B.O.B.’s headlining feature. Grand Hustle label mates Shun Hendrix and Spodee, as well as Laws (Warner Bros.), Playboy Tre, and more, readied the fans for Young Bobby Ray. Greeted by an eager crowd chanting “B-O-B” in unison, he emerged as energetic as ever.

For over an hour, B.O.B. (accompanied by a live band, backup singers, and choreographed dancers) put on a show to remember. Album songs like “Nothin On You,” “Don’t Let Me Fall,” and “Past My Shades,” along with the Play Boy-Tre assisted “Bet I,” brought the show to an exciting level often unattained in the Hip Hop norm. But B.O.B. has always been far from the norm. “Haters,” B.O.B.’s breakout hit prior to the commercial exposure of “Nothin On You,” reminded long-time followers that he hasn’t changed, only grown more seasoned.

B.O.B. not only sang, rapped, played the guitar and piano, he also crowd surfed and threw his Adidas-sponsored jacket into the audience, causing a disruptive tug-of-war match. As things settled, the show continued with onlookers young and old (well, middle-aged), and of every nationality, singing along to each hook, verse, and adlib. B.O.B. could do no wrong – except stop. As he exited the stage, murmurs of disappointment were heard. “Is that the end?” “I hope not.” “Bring him back.” An encore was demanded, and B.O.B. delivered. “Airplanes” closed the night and sent everyone home with expectations met. Success.

B.O.B.’s debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, is in stores now. And while it’s an electrifying purchase, the songs don’t truly come to life until seen unplugged. To appreciate the full adventure, check out B.O.B. on his upcoming “Shootin’ For Stars” tour.
