Raymond Jones is seeking $8 million for what he says is an uncleared sample of Hotstylz’s “Lookin Boy” on “Rap God.”
A couple months after speaking out about the issue in November, a member of the Chicago Hip Hop group Hotstylz has filed a lawsuit against Eminem and Shady Records over what he claims is an uncleared sample of the group’s 2007 track “Lookin Boy” on the emcee’s 2013 hit “Rap God.”
Raymond Jones, one third of the trio Hotstylz, is reportedly suing Eminem and his label for $8 million over the sample clearance issue according to TMZ. The site put together a short video clip comparing a 25-second portion of “Rap God” to the original Hotstylz record from which it borrows heavily.
