YN called it early and now, Playboy’s coming for 700%. Apparently, Heff’s former label Playboy Records owns the rights to Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds’ “Fallin’ In Love” which is sampled in the beginning of Drake’s “Best I Ever Had”. As a result, an infringement suit was filed against the rapper and Universal Music Group. According to Playboy:
[They] knew or should have reasonably known, that the sound recording was protected by copyright…” and that “each Defendant continues to infringe upon Plaintiff’s rights in and to the copyrighted sound recording.”
Court documents after the jump.
Somewhere Kia shine jus let out a single tear….Glory
ut oh
Fuck playboy who the fuk still buys playboys anyway u can’t watch Internet porn and then can’t go back to playboy after u have seen a 25 men on 1 girl gangbang

Cortez Bryant is Drake manager too. And that nigga is a beast plus he merged with Hip Hop Since 1978.
Also y would u wanna see a 25 on 1 gangbang. Jus grab a runner from somewhere and get yo homies. Beware tho beckuz u find shit about yo niggas u didn’t know. I kaught my nigga sneakin a bitch in the back, feedin a bitch a kfc meal and shit, eatin the bitch pussy. Talk about a walk of shame
wow. someone @ umg was slipping. a major record company should know that they can’t sample someone’s else music without paying royalities. that’s like music business 101.
lol there’s nothing to “take care of” as far as cortez bryant is concerned. copyright infringement is copyright infringement.
time to pay the piper.
Just goes to show that these idiots just think they can do whatever they want and nobody is paying attention.Well guess what????Start digging in your pockets rich fellas!!
And they wait until now to sue this man. Playboy of all people. Wow. They should be giving this man a tour of the mansion instead of suing this man.

bad move on UMG’s part… you can’t sample records without paying the creator. dumb. drake doesn’t care though… it won’t effect his pockets much.
