LIL KIM ACCUSED OF PLAGIARISM

lilkim_steals.jpg Freshly released rapper Lil’ Kim is facing further court time to defend a Jamaican reggae singer’s claims she copied her lyrics for her last album. Tanya Stephens is suing the hip-hop star - who left prison last month after serving 10 months of a 366-day sentence for perjury - for ripping off a song for 2005 release The Naked Truth.

Stephens alleges lyrics of Kim’s track “Durty” almost exactly match her song “Mi And Mi God,” recorded in Jamaica and released in 1997. According to the suit, filed in Manhattan federal court last week, Kim even adopts a West Indian accent for it. Stephens is claiming rights to the song, as well as all past and future royalties, reports the New York Post. [SOURCE]

Yeah she stole that shit, get that money Tanya!!

FOXY MISSES ANOTHER COURT DATE!

foxy_sm.jpg Days after missing a court appearance in Jersey City, NJ, Foxy Brown has skipped another court date in Manhattan Criminal Court this morning.

While Foxy (born Inga Marchand) had a 9:30 am court date, a court clerk told SOHH that the Brooklyn, NY rapper was still a no show well over an hour and a half after the hearing was slated to begin.

“It doesn’t look like she’s gonna show up,” a Manhattan Criminal Court clerk told SOHH. “I’m not sure how long they’re going to be waiting for her.”

I think they just need to throw the book at her ass; time is up and she is getting too many chances! I mean she is stealing belts and acting like she is a MEGAstar, when she hasn’t had a hit record in like 8 years. Give it up Foxy.

BLIND ITEM

This washed up R&B singer (female) has been a drug addict for years. She just can’t beat her habit. When she use to perform in the bay area, her and another R&B singer (who beat her habit) use to hang out at a big time drug dealer’s house in the Oakland Hills and get high between performances, to the point of passing out. This singer seeks out black female celebrities with drug problems, befriends them, and freeloads off them for drugs-because she is broke and near homeless. This is her motto of operation and this is part of the reason her career sunk, she had become unreliable and moody. Hint: She and a male soul singer (well known) damn near overdosed on crack and heroin. This episode caused him to scale back on his use and distance himself from her.

I was told it wasn’t Whitney Houston, but that’s the first person that came to my mind! I don’t know who it is though, but that was fun to read, right? BUTTA guessed Cherrelle & Alexander O’Neal and she may be right!

@ 76. What you need to do is fix your broke ass computer and try to make the stream load again. You can hear the similarities, as well as the same lyrics. And last time I checked, Lil Kim didn’t have a Jamaican accent.

Doesn’t matter if she wrote some extra verses in the mix, the whole song is basically bit off of Tanya. What do people remember most about a song again? Yeah, the chorus..

Get it together homie and get that computer fixed! I’ll be waiting with a “I TOLD YOU SO!”

I am a big Tanya Stephen’s fan. If anyone ever wants to hear a gangsta dancehall chick then she’s the one. Her songs “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet” and “Cyan’t Breathe” are women’s anthems.

With that being said, I did not think this is in anyway similar to Lil Kim’s cut. I actually thought Lil Kim was ripping from Damian Marley’s Welcome to Jamrock.

REAL REPPIN HIPHOP go f**k yourself. Lil Kim stole damn near the whole song. and put on some fucking fake JAmaican accent. I hete it when americans do that cuz its fucking disgusting. Lil rip off the wholla Junior Gong Jamrock song too. The whole album was pure ripoff. Just because its jamaican artistes she thinks she will just piggy back on them. Shi go learn fi write bloodclawt lyrics. but i am not surprised because all she knows about is sex so she had to look to Jamaica to get real lyrics. she a raas teef!!!

To me it sounds like Lil Kim copped at least part of Tanya’s song.

They start out totally different but half way through, Kim’s track starts sounding a lot like Tanya’s. And around 3:05mins into Kim’s track she’s almost copying Tanya word for word.

Never heard of Tanya Stephens but she sounds good. I listened to her other track and it was nice as well. It has the beat from Sean Paul’s “Deport Them”. I like her style.

REAL REPPIN… judging from the phrases you used to describe Tanya, it is obvious you dont like jamaicans… but we dont care. lil kim ripped of the song and did not acknowledge it and that is that. story dun. just like the junior gong song but i guess he just let it slide. lil kim could’ve never come with a song like that on her own because she does nto have that talent… and her fake accent. all she know is about sex. and no thanks we dont need rappers to help us deliver our messages. “It’s about women’s empowerment,” said Andrew Henton, her manager in Jamaica. “She sings about sex, but not in a raunchy way. It’s more thought-provoking, more political. I wouldn’t say it’s like Lil’ Kim.”

tanya may not be big in the US but that’s just a country. Tanya is a huge international star. when since the US became the measuring stick for success. simply put… “I’m not a prude, and I’m not intimidated by sex or nakedness,” Stephens told a British publication this month. “In fact, I find some of it appealing. But I don’t feel that a marketing company needs to use sex to sell me a pack of flour! It’s not relevant, ‘cos I’m not making any sexy dumplings!”

SAME WAY MI GYAL.

Two things:

One: Hellous yeah that HAS to be Cherelle Y Alexander O’Neal. And Alexander has (HAD?) a beautiful voice. He always looked like he was AT LEAST drunk, If NOT high. As for Cherelle, she had a ‘pleasant’ voice, a la Ashanti. Nothing spectacular, but pleasant enough where she could have made a REAL CAREER out of it.

Two: It’s really unfortunate that Foxy Brown, is, once again, in rare form and cutten up. She lost, and then, by grace and mercy, was given one of her senses back (hearing), and now she’s back to acting a stone cold fool. She better watch it or she will lose more than that. . .

The two female singers from bay area are 1) Cherrelle
2) Pebbles (Cherelles cousin)
Pebbles is now a saved minister in into the gospel so her drug problem is a thing of past,but Cherelle was still reported to be out there.Her and Whitney are or were close friemds and roomates even at one time, (during Whitneys addiction) . Cherelle used to sing with Alexander O’neal alot and they too hung out and likely got high together! Dont know if hes still getting high,but if ya look closely at them videos from back in the day with Alexander O’neal youll raise your eyebrows,lol say HUHMMMMMMMMM yeah he was smoking something,lol I hear Mikki Howard had drug problem at one time, and now I hear she hung wit Cherelle too,birds of a feather flock together I guess. People are often bonded by their common interest,lol if ya get my drift!
