Lil Wayne Plays With Fire, Gets Sued

Lil WayneAnother lil' problem for Lil Wayne -- who's now accused of ripping off the Rolling Stones!

Wayne -- aka the guy behind the lollipop song -- is being sued by a music publishing company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones song "Play with Fire." Abkco Music Inc. claims that Wayne released an alternate version of the song -- that they're calling "explicit, sexist and offensive" -- without permission.

They're suing for copyright infringement and seeking unspecified damages. A rep at the label could not be reached for comment.

21. Hey Idiot? I'm surprised that you can spell your own name.
It's "their," "too" and "raising." What a diptard. As for your comment, my kids DON'T listen to that crap. They're well educated and will be gainfully employed and pay taxes to feed all these canker sores as have this generation.

23. No I dont think white people hate the rappers, I just get tired of the black race bringing down their own people and not setting an example for their community, they get mad when people hate on the way they act and portray themselves but when their own kind can say racial slurs or call their women hoe's its a receiving compliment, they creat horrible images of themselves to the public and in all videos black women are exploited , but its okay for them, but the moment when another race says something they cry racism, THE CLEANUP STARTS IN YOUR COMMUNITIES

24. I have no idea who this guy is (I live in Australia), judging by your comments he is another guy making money selling hate music, etc. But you know, have a look at his face, this guy HATES himself, so you ####holes with your racist comments and hate filled comments should maybe lay off a bit, you are giving him more to feel hatred for. Leave him alone, ignore the man, don't buy his crap music (sounds like it isn't worth much) and he will go away. Yes, I know I sound naive, but all people good and bad deserve respect.

25. This is one of the things I can't stand about Hip-Hop music, and why I have No Respect for it or their "Creators". All they do is sample (rip-off) other peoples music, put their own words to it, and call it a song. Total 100% lack of creativity and lust for the quick buck. But what's even worse, the people that actually play into this crap and go out and purchase it. I realize now that there is an audience for anything; no matter what kind of crap you put out there, there's going to be people who think isn't the greatest thing in the world. The music industry is laughing at "you" all the way to the bank!... they put out total crap, and you just keep eating up. :P

Funny how you define the the whole black community by a couple of rap videos,and that just what they are videos-a image of a person vision to go with the music they made.White people take the most negative image of a made up video and say this is how black people live in reality they no notthing about the black community.Rock n roll bands worship the devil so i guest all white people worship the devil,most cereal killer are white so maybe all white people like to stalk and kill each other then eat them.

27. WHY SO MUCH HATE?

Posted at 12:55AM on Jul 25th 2008 by bizz

28. But aren't Rap artist Intentionally Trying to Highlight the "Negative"? Is it Not True that the Badder, More Violent, and Thuggish they come off, the better for their image? Isn't that what they're going for. So if White people are Seeing Just the Negative, isn't that just "Mission Accomplished" for the Rapper?
