Mac Miller better get lawyered up quick because one of the legends in the game is coming after him with a $10 Million lawsuit! Legendary rapper and producer Lord Finesse is suing Miller for the unauthorized use of Finesse’s 1995 hit song, “Hip 2 Da Game” from his album The Awakening. Check out the full story here.

The lawsuit claims that Miller used the instrumental for his “Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza (The Kool-Aid Song)” on his mixtape Kickin’ Incredibly Dope Sh*t without Finesse’s permission.

Mac Miller has responded to the lawsuit on twitter. Check out what he said below:

“I’m supposed to be on hush but lemme speak on this real quick. 1. I made that record and video as nothing more than an 18 year old kid who wanted to rhyme and pay homage, no other intentions. 2. Finesse and I spoke on the phone for an hour after he heard the record and cleared the air. We even planned to work on music together. 3. All I wanted to do is shed light on a generation that inspired me. 4. When I heard there was a problem, I reached out to him to try and solve it. No response. 5. Finesse never cleared the Oscar Peterson sample on the original record. I did nothing wrong. We spoke on the phone had a good conversation, he was cool with the record. It’s all love tho. I ain’t even mad at dude. He still a legend.”

Oh okay, so the original sample wasn’t even cleared. Hmm, does Finesse still have a case then? How do you feel about the lawsuit? Do you think Finesse deserves a cut of Miler’s career?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Not Everyone In Philly Has Love For Meek Mill – “Amen” Boycotted

Although Meek Mill has brought Philly back into the rap game in a major way – even possibly bringing about a new and improved State Property – not everyone in Philly has love for the rugged rapper. According to the Philadelphia Daily News, Reverend Jomo K. Johnson of the Open Air Church is not a fan of Meek’s#### single, “Amen”, and has gone so far as to organize a boycott of the song.

“I’m a Hip-Hop fan, but I believe there is a need to really call him out and say enough is enough,” said Reverend Jomo K.Johnson. “He seems to really be using the church as a backdrop and a parallel for some of the sinful things that he does.”

Johnson is getting his congregation together and is hawking the self-published e-book No Amen: Why Boycotting Meek Mill Will Help Save Hip-Hop.The reverend is selling the e-books for $2.99 a piece – major side eye!!! This Reverend is no stranger to controversy, and has previously targeted Lil Wayne via the book Deadest Rapper Alive, which challenges Weezy’s self-proclaimed title as the “greatest rapper alive.”

“As a Hip-Hop fan, I want to encourage every rap fan in Philadelphia who is a believer in Jesus Christ, to boycott Meek Mill until he acknowledges this blatant disrespect, and being resident of North Philadelphia and pastor, I revoke Meek’s ‘hood pass’ until this happens.”

Do you think this Reverend is boycotting Meek for the money and publicity, or is he really concerned for the church?
