Last night, it was released that Lord Finesse was filing suit against Mac Miller for using his “Hip 2 Da Game”
instrumental without Finesse’s permission. While the matter should not
have been spoken on completely, Mac did take to Twitter to give some
insight on the situation.
For starters, Finesse is suing for $10 Million. However, Mac laid out what happened. Here’s he line of events, he shared that he thought everything was ok because he and Finesse spoke an hour after the song was recorded and “cleared the air.” Following that, once he heard Finesse had an issue, he attempted to solve the problem, but was met with silence.
Read Mac’s entire statement below.
I’m supposed to be on hush but lemme speak on this real quick. 1. I made that record and video as nothing more than an 18 year old kid who wanted to rhyme and pay homage, no other intentions. 2. Finesse and I spoke on the phone for an hour after he heard the record and cleared the air. We even planned to work on music together. 3. All I wanted to do is shed light on a generation that inspired me. 5. Finesse never cleared the Oscar Peterson sample on the original record. I did nothing wrong. We spoke on the phone had a good conversation, he was cool with the record. It’s all love tho. I ain’t even mad at dude. He still a legend. 4. When I heard there was a problem, I reached out to him to try and solve it. No response. Lord Finesse, thank you for what u did for hip hop. Thank you for bringing my favorite rapper into the game.
