Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
Like his fellow D.I.T.C. member Diamond D, Fuse sat with Lord Finesse for their Crate Diggers series. The Bronx native recalls his first time working with B.I.G., Big L, Fat Joe and Large Professor.
Mac Miller and Lord Finesse finally came to an agreement. Last July, Finesse filed a $10 million lawsuit against Mac for sampling his music without his consent. Mac tells Complex:
I’m actually legally not allowed to say anything about what happened. Other than that it’s been resolved and we didn’t go to [trial]. If that was really a problem, people would be getting sued left and right.”
This case is about the overall picture.. If you're just looking at "one" point.. It's about so much more #look deeper..

Lord Finesse (@LordFinesseDITC) July 10, 2012Kool-Aid and frozen pizza may cost a few millions for Mac Miller. DITC leader Lord Finesse filed a $10 million lawsuit against Mac for sampling his “Hip 2 Da Game” beat. He used the track on his debut mixtape, KIDS. Once Mac was caught in the loop (no pun), he reacted via Twitter account.
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.
Lord Finesse, thank you for what u did for hip hop. Thank you for bringing my favorite rapper into the game. I should just drop some new music.
UPDATE 2: Lord Finesse took to his Twitter today and responds. via HHC
1. I appreciate Mac’s kind words but his people did not handle his business correctly.
2. Basics – Mixtapes are one thing, but you can’t take someone’s else’s entire song, shoot a music video and call it your own.
3. Mac’s on the top of his game right now. I wish him the best in Europe and I hope to hear from him besides on Twitter.
UPDATE 3:
I just talked to Lord Finesse. He's still suing me.
