Kanye West Sued Over Uncleared Sample

Kayne West, Common, Method Man and Redman are being sued by the daughter of a jazz musican because they did not get permission from his estate to use samples of his music. The lawsuit said all the rappers used portions of late U.S. jazz musician Joe Farrell's 1974 musical composition "Upon This Rock" in three separate songs -- West in "Gone," Common in "Chi-City" and Method Man and Redman in their song "Run 4 Cover." Kathleen Firrantello is seeking punitive damages of at least $1 million and asked that no further copies of the songs be made, sold or performed, according to the lawsuit.

Should Common Rescue Absentee Father?

In keeping with our ghetto theme, let's talk about Common's daddy.

The Denver Post ran a story about Common's pops, Lonnie Lynn,

an ex-Denver Rocket. Aparently, in the 70's, Common's daddy

had a short lived b-ball career, then started using drugs after he got

cut from the team. Lonnie claims he stopped using after

his infant son, Common, looked him in the eyes, giving pops

the distinct feeling the baby knew his daddy was a drug addict.

It didn't stop him from moving to Denver and leaving

Common and his mama after the boy turned six, though.

Anyway, from then on, he tried to visit his son twice a year

and called him every Saturday.

Fast forward.

Lonnie is on hard times with a sixteen year old son.

The house he lived in for 21 years was just foreclosed on.

Common offered to pay rent for a year on pop's new apartment

which he refused, in hopes Common would ride in at last minute

and buy the house back from the bank. Didn't happen.

Common says, "Things aren't always what they appear to be.

I help when I can."

Lonnie has six other kids.

Is it Common's responsiblity to take care of his father?
