Snoop Dogg SUES Layzie Bone

[ZILLA THA GOODFELLA]

Fuck man, I cant believe snoop..........He's suppose 2 be hella good friends wit Layzie since they're suppose 2 do this lil pimp movie together next year featuring too short and others.........I guess dat won't be happenin.........Battle lines are drawn lol.........

Here's tha Article:

-In rap today, with literally thousands of releases each year, there's bound to be some copyright infrigements to be un-noticed. Well this one's a late bloomer, as the song has been released for over 7 months (March 20th, 2001). Platinum rapper Snoop Dogg has filed suit against Layzie Bone for copyright infrigement the over use of lyrics from Snoop's song "You Got Beef" which also contains rappers Tha Eastsidaz and Jayo Felony. Layzie Bone used elements, illegaly, of the song on his song "Battlefield" (From Thug By Nature), stating "If you got beef with B-O-N-E, then holler at me, Lil' Layzie", which is sung in tune and contains several similar words to Snoop Dogg and Tha Eastsidaz hit song. Apparently, Layzie Bone thought it would be allright to use elements of the song since Snoop Dogg was good friends with him (they have collobarated several times), but Snoop Dogg didn't feel the same way.

Once again I cant believe snoop would do somethin like this..........I mean there's a million other muthafuckas dat bite some of his shit all tha time, why doesnt sue them? (ie - Ja Rule)...........2 do this 2 a friend is a BITCH MOVE............

Wat are yur thoughts???

[Nosak]

cause them motherfucka like ja rule , maybe they be asking first, n snoop got sued fo using the ghetto symphony on nl topp dogg... he was mad as fuck cause , i think it was marle marl or some sue him cause of the beat or some... so snoop doing the same... i like it cause motherfucka be saying snoop ain't got no lyrics but once again , sombody be barrowing his lyrics

[madtaun]

not him directly,maybe his attorneys

[West Coast Veteran]

BITCH MOVE! If it's Snoop himself that's suing. If someone sued Snoop and he was pissed then he should learn that it's fucked up to sue someone especially when you supposedly down with the nigga.

[madtaun]

not snoop himself,i think TVT RECORDS.

[Jay ay Beee]

If it's Snoop directly then it is FUCKED up

You can't defend him on this one, I would say only BPG and Slick like Snoop more in here than me and I'll always defend his albums all of which are hot but this is a bitch move

But I don't think this is true that it was Snoop who is suing

[Big BpG]

My Thoughts:

I bet in almost everyone of these cases that the artists attorney has something to do with this. How many times do we see Snoop bite rhymes or beats sampled? I myself believe this is false. If it's not false I would say it has to do with Snoop's attorney/label/management... if it is truly Snoop who decided to sue then all I have to say is that is the wrong move. Last year it was reported that Snoop sued Nas for using lyrics from Gin and Juice in Oochie Wally.... I never heard about it again and I haven't heard about a Nas/Snoop  beef. Snoop was sued for using the Ghetto Symphony beat on his NLTD album... how many times has that song been sampled and then Marly Marl decides he is going to sue Snoop... Snoop later said it was a bitch move by Marly Marl to do something like that....  so if Snoop sues Layzie it's very hypocritical. Also, Layzie and Snoop seem to be real tight and I can't see Snoop suing him... Layzie was on the Doggy's Angels album and they seem to have a good vibe going on in the video...but who knows... I always believe management has something to do with moves like this, but if it's Snoop I gotta say..... stupid move. I almost wanna say it's TVT Records who is doing this... Snoop leaves them.... yet they have rights to "Got Beef"  and they may seem like they were cheated so they decide to get back at him... and sue Layzie.... one of his homies.... who knows.

Word.  Wait till we hear the whole story.

[HBKid_Jr]

I hope this is bull shit,  like big bpg said about snoop sueing nas,  we heard about it once an that was it,  if this was snoop's decision to sue that is a bitch move an I will lose a lot of respect for snoop

[AxleF]

I can't believe this happened.  There's way too much hatin goin on in Hip Hop.  The West really needs to stick together.

I'm really curious to see if Snoop and Bone, for some reason, fell out.

Anyone got a link to some news regarding this?  Let a brotha know.  Thanks.
