Cypress HIll Being Sued.

Recent VH1 Hip Hop Honorees, Cypress Hill, are being sued by soul singer Syl Johnson, claiming that Cypress illegal used a sample from his song, "Is It Because I'm Black." That's the name of the song, not the reason they stole it. Syl is suing the stoned trio for $25 million dollars for using the sample in their song "Lock Down."

I'm guessing B.Real & Co. was too high to remember to pay the royalties. I'm sure it wasn't done intentionally.

Do you think Johnson has a case? Listen for yourself...
