Bwhahahahahaha. I'm sorry. This is too funny. But what fall from grace has Suge Knight had. Apparently Suge Knight is suing Kanye West, blaming him for getting shot at Yeezy's pre-MTV VMA party in 2005. Suge claims that Kanye is responsible because security at the party allowed a man to smuggle in a gun, and then this said man proceeded to shoot Suge in the leg.
Knight alleges that he had to undergo months of physical therapy, suffered permanent impairment in his mobility, and ended up with significant medical bills - which included the cost of a private jet to transport him from Miami to Los Angeles. The lawsuit also claims that Suge lost a 15-carat, $135,000 diamond stud earring during the incident, which he includes in the suit as "damages for the loss of use and enjoyment of the earring." Hahahaha, enjoyment of the earring? Is this dude serious? The man who was once the most feared man in the music industry is claiming to be a victim of the heartbroken, auto-tune singing Kanye West? Incredible. I've seen it all.
Karma is a bitch. This is what he gets for killing Biggie and Pac.

M.O.P. Sues WWE Wrestler John Cena.
Excuse the cheesy pun, but M.O.P. and WWE superstar John Cena are getting to rumble in court. Lil' Fame and Billy Danze are claiming that Cena's song, "The Time Is Now," borrows from their hit "Ante Up." Yes, I'm just as shocked as you that a wrestler has a rap song. In a federal lawsuit, they claim WWE's lawyers actually found some person to sign off on the license who was just a lowly receptionist and didn't actually have authority to do so. See, I always knew the WWE was fake.
This must be the first time a rapper ever sued somebody else for copyright infringement, it's usually hip-hop on the end of this shit stick. The big issues comes down to one non-English line -- "BRRR Abado -- that appears in the the beginning of the M.O.P. song, and in Cena's song three times. The lawsuit asks for destruction of Cena's song and $150K from the defendants. Time for Cena to Ante Up. Sorry, last pun.

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...
Cypress Hill - "Lock Down"
Syl Johnson - "Is It Because I'm Black"
