Boogie Down Productions Sues Kanye West Over Sample

You ever wonder how long it takes for someone to realize their music was sampled without permission when an album has been out for close to a year? Boogie Down Productions is pissed Kanye West sampled their music for Ye's Donda album. According to TMZ, Ye's collab with Andre 3000, "Life Of The Party" is on Ye's Stem Player device. But that sample belongs to KRS-One's BDP and is now a part of a lawsuit. KRS-One isn't happy the song that uses the sample from the diss track "South Bronx" is owned by BDP and Ye didn't get permission to use it. Well Ye and his partner Alex Klein sold around 11K Stem Players within the first 24 hours of its release, making close to $2.2 million dollars. The suit alleges the sides never came to an agreement for the sample and says Ye’s side eventually retracted its offer to license it. BDP is looking to block future use of the song and turn over any profits from it.
