Future Triumphs Over Copyright Lawsuit with Notable Judge References to Kanye West & Biggie Lyrics

In a legal twist that mirrors the rhythm of the hip-hop world, Future’s legal team emerges victorious in a copyright clash, drawing inspiration from the legendary lyrics of Kanye West and Biggie. The legal arena was set ablaze when rapper DaQuan Robinson’s claims against Future found themselves thwarted in a courtroom dance overseen by the astute Judge Martha Pacold.

Marking a significant moment for artistic freedom, Judge Pacold adeptly navigated the intricate pathways of music’s soul, throwing out Robinson’s lawsuit with an informed touch. The legal contention revolved around the assertion that Future’s chart-topper, “When I Think About It,” swiped the essence of Robinson’s “When U Think About It.”

Robinson’s claim rested on the foundation of sending an early version of his creation to Future’s producer, only to witness his work metamorphose into a larger-than-life hit. Yet, Judge Pacold’s gavel fell in favor of the defense, citing the overarching motifs within the realm of music and, more specifically, within the vibrant heartbeat of hip-hop.

“The thematic elements that [the accusers] address — guns, money, and jewelry — are frequently present in Hip Hop and rap music,” Pacold wrote. “The commonality of these themes in Hip Hop and rap place [them] outside the protections of copyright law.”

Supporting her judgment with lyrical tapestries woven by hip-hop luminaries, she harkened to Notorious B.I.G.’s “Machine Gun Funk,” the financial anthem “C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)” by Wu-Tang Clan, and Kanye West’s gem “Diamonds From Sierra Leone.” These lyrical masterpieces stood as testament to the common threads running through the genre, rendering them not exclusive to a single artist’s canvas.

Delving into the crux of the matter – the uncanny resemblance between the core phrases of Future and Robinson’s compositions – Judge Pacold likened the resemblance to a mere fragment of language, a vocal mosaic ubiquitous in everyday conversations and woven intricately into the tapestry of popular melodies.

In the wake of this courtroom crescendo, it’s evident that the rhythms of justice have harmonized with the beats of the urban soundscape. Future’s legal victory not only underscores the interconnectedness of musical themes but also highlights the fragility of online recognition within the digital era.

Lil Baby isn’t prepared to abdicate the throne, despite the fact that his enemies are eagerly awaiting the end of his reign. The Georgia hitmaker has been on a roll for a while, and as he gets ready to drop his new album, Baby is implying that he’s always been a GOAT regardless of his age.

Lil Baby started the week off right today (October 10) by sharing a new song, “Heyy,” along with a music video. He also disappeared from the tracklist for his upcoming album, It’s Only Me, shortly after its release.

GOAT discussions are common in hip hop. Mt. Rushmore is depicted in the picture, but Lil Baby is each of the faces at different points in his life. A new era for the Rap sensation is being planned now that the public has a fresh view on Baby’s ascent in Hip Hop as a result of his well-received documentary.

Wack 100 is known for his outspoken beliefs, and The Game’s manager is notorious for his controversial outbursts in interviews and on the Clubhouse social networking platform. The well-known manager makes news once more when he criticizes Future’s music, calling it monotonous and dull.

He was recently in a clubhouse session with Southside, an 808 Mafia producer, where they discussed Future. “Why you saying I’m hating on Future? I’m just telling you his music is dreary and same, one-dimensional. I can’t listen or watch that ni**a on no stage for a hour, bro,” Wack stated. “That’s not hate, bro. I don’t think… you gotta understand. I don’t get high. Maybe you gotta be high… We talking about headlining, ni**as coming behind Busta Rhymes, Future definitely cannot come behind Busta Rhymes’s performance. It’s like from one extreme to the next. Like, Busta gonna have a seizure and aneurism and a heart attack on stage. This ni**a comes up same sh*t.”

He added, “This ni**a Future, bro, his sh*t is just one pocket and that’s just what it is. Ni**a, even on the Drake tour, they didn’t let Future do a full set. Drake came out for forty-five [minutes]. Future came out for twenty-five, and then Drake came back out. I’m telling you. I started nodding out [during Future’s set].”

Future recently released I NEVER LIKED YOU, his eighth number one album in his career. The rapper’s latest album follows up on High Off Life, which featured the huge single “Life Is Good.” As Future and Drake reminisced on their hard work and desire for money during the start of the pandemic, the song became an unavoidable anthem.

Their track record together is undeniable at this point, and after years of creating timeless singles, they finally hit the top of the charts with “Way 2 Sexy” in 2021. Future’s first #1 single, Certified Lover Boy, debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following the publication of I NEVER LIKED YOU, they’ve done it yet again. This week, Drake and Tems’ “Wait For U” topped the Billboard Hot 100. According to ChartData, it’s also the week’s best-selling single. Since its release on April 29th, “Wait For U” has reportedly sold over 300,000 copies. This comes after the duo unveiled the song’s official video last week.

It’s a great day for Drake and Future, who have another another #1 on the charts together. Tems, on the other hand, earned her first Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper of her career. It’s unlikely to be her last.

Future recently released I Never Liked You, as well as the deluxe edition, which arrived on Monday morning.

This isn’t surprising, as fans have speculated that he’ll release two albums in a row, albeit there’s no proof of the rumor.

 

Future revealed plans to release new music before the end of the year in a recent interview with Apple Music. He stated that he intends to come through with more heat, but that he first wants to lay the groundwork for his artists.

 

 “I’m going to put music out. I’m going to put more music out, but my team, you know what I’m saying, little double oh, double oh seven, then Boston Richie and just got there and really just put music out with them. They dropping next, so it’s really about them. You know what I’m saying? Just showcasing the homies that’s coming up behind me or whatever. Just giving them that super work ethic. But they already building their own buzz up on their own, so it’s going good,” he said.

 

Future Teases New Music And Talks On His Collaboration With Drake

 

He also spoke about his standout collaboration with Drake on “I’m On One” later in the interview. While the two have had a long and fruitful connection on wax, the song came about when Future revealed it to the Canadian rapper.

 

“We just did those records just because it was just the timing of it, but it was inevitable, you know what I’m saying, for it to happen like that. I’m thinking I was in LA when I recorded that song [I’m On One] I played it for him after I did it. Once it was done, I played the record for him,” he stated.
