Miles Davis Former Bassist Sues Rapper Snoop Dogg Over Samples
(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg and a number of other West Coast rappers are being sued by a legendary bassist who claims the artists illegally sampled a record and never paid him.
Michael Henderson cut his teeth touring with Stevie Wonder and recording extensively with Miles Davis, before he launched a successful solo career and released eight critically acclaimed albums.
His music has been sampled by artists like Jay-Z, Eminem, Notorious B.I.G. and others.
Lawyers for Henderson filed a lawsuit against Snoop Dogg, MC Eiht, Goldie Lo, Kam, Doggy Style Records and Universal Music on Tuesday (July 6th).
According to the lawsuit, which was filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern District, Snoop and company illegally sampled “Riding,” a song on Henderson’s 1979 album Do It All.
Henderson accuses the rappers of incorporating his music into their song “Riding” and also “Hands on the Wheel,“ which were both available for stream, download and purchase.
In the complaint, Henderson claims “Flashbacks” featuring Warzone (Goldie Loc, Kam and MC Eiht) was released on a mixtape, which was used to promote Snoop’s album Ego Trippin’, which was released in March of 2008.
Henderson also says “Hands on the Wheel” illegally incorporated his music and was used to boost ticket sales for Snoop’s West Fest tour in June of 2008.
Henderson is suing for copyright infringement, unfair competition and unjust enrichment. He is seeking unspecified damages in a trial by jury.

King James moves to Miami / Hip Hop Reacts
Basketball fans around the country reacted strongly when LeBron James finally dropped the news last night that he was signing with the Miami Heat after frenzied speculation about the NBA MVP's next move. Hip-hop's basketball fans took to Twitter in droves to vent, lament and crack jokes about King James' decision.
Teflon Don Rick Ross tweeted "Miami the spotlight of the world!!!!!" which was later re-tweeted by fellow Miami MC Trina. "Pretty Boy Swag" rapper Soulja Boy Tell'em offered a simple Twitter message about the 'Bron hubbub, tweeting "Lebron James Swag." Even glitzy '90s rapper MC Hammer enthusiastically chimed in with "LeBron signs with the HEAT !!!!"
Diddy, like many New Yorkers, had been hoping James would come to Gotham and wrote on his Twitter page, "Lebron will sign with the knicks! Yea I said it!" But an hour later, the party-startin' mogul seemed at peace with 'Bron's finale choice and tweeted, "ok i can handle Miami!!! its my second home!!!! lets go!!!!!!" Queens MC Q-Tip approved of James' choice and typed on Friday (July 9), "I think @kingjames made the right decision."
Rumors had been swirling that James would possibly go to a Chicago, New York or New Jersey team, so not everyone was geeked about 'Bron heading down south. "Miami???!!!! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ?uestlove of the Roots said in an impassioned tweet.
Some MCs offered their sympathies to fans of James' former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. D.C. MC Wale, who called the MVP's choice earlier in the night, tweeting, "Miami...I bet," followed up his prediction an hour later with a comforting note for Cleveland: "Seriously feel bad for cavs fans." Ludacris offered something a little stronger for Cavs fans, tweeting, "Conjure [cognac] is on deck in Cleveland just in case anybody feel like gettin f---ed up tonight."
Others typed their thoughts about how James' move would affect the Heat. Dallas rapper Dorrough tweeted, "LeBron James and DeWayne Wade is Like Jordan and Kobe on the same team. I dont think its gon work." ATL songstress Ciara tweeted "Looks [like] Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets next year!" likely referencing a possible showdown between Miami and Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony.
As fans eagerly anticipated James' announcement last night, one artist took the opportunity to mine some humor out of the situation. Brooklyn MC Fabolous, who is known for his punchy one-liners, started the trending topic #JustOfferedLebron, which resulted in tweets like, "The Nets #JustOfferedLebron a Best of Both Worlds 3 album wit JayZ if he signs," and "BP #JustOfferedLebron free gas for life if he continues to take all the attention off the oil spill."
