Kanye West sued again for illegal sampling

Kanye West is being sued yet again. This time around, record label TufAmerica is taking Yeezy to court for allegedly using illegal samples of material it owns on 2010’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The label claims that part of Eddie Bo’s 1969 song “Hook And Sling, Part 1” shows up on three of the record’s songs: “Who Will Survive In America,” “Lost In The World,” and “Runaway.” While West’s label, Roc-A-Fella, paid a $62,500 licensing fee, TufAmerica claims that was only for the sample’s use in “Runaway,” not the two other tracks.
