Kanye's in trouble, but it's not for his mouth this time.
The egomaniacal Yeezus rapper is being sued for a sample he used in his song Bound 2.
The original song that he sampled is from a song named Bound (coincidence?) by a band called "Ponderosa Twins Plus One." Ricky Spicer became the lead singer of this band at the age of 12 in 1969; a year before the song was made.
The lawsuit alleges:
"Mr. Spicer's voice is sampled exactly as he recorded it, and his voice, altered by the defendants, is also heard several times,"
Kanye didn't ask for permission to sample the song. And if you're wondering if they have a legit case, they do. Listen to the original below
I'm assuming Kanye thought he could make the song better by stealing it and creatively renaming it Bound 2.
Someone stop this man.
oop.
