Remember Def Jam Rapstar? The SingStar forā¦rap? It had promise, but ultimately fizzled on the vine and died without making much of a splash. Now, making things worse, a record company is trying to squeeze the gameās creators for millions
Examples include DJ Khaledās āIām So Hood,ā which EMI claims 10 percent ownership, MIMSā āThis Is Why Iām Hot,ā a song with 16 writers which EMI claims 16 percent ownership, and Lil Wayneās āGot Money,ā which EMI claims 30 percent ownership.
In total, EMI claim 54 tracks infringe on their rights, and theyāre after over $8 million in total damages.
