PUTS opening for that kid is just wrong on so many levels. SMH

here's a good read on the Finesse/Wack Miller lawsuit:
why Mac Miller owes Lord Finesse 10 million dollars

Very nice article OceanMan.

As for the P opening for that guy, I had to skip that show.

Haha, great minds and all that...
Was about to post that myself.

It may be annoying to have the P opening for a tool like MM, but at least some folks got to see a great show (and besides less than 5 years down the road dude won't be remembered by anyone, yet PutS will still be going strong/legendary).

Best thing that could've happened all around, really:
- Finesse got paid
- Wack Miller got taken down a notch
- no legal precedent; that could've started a landslide of similar lawsuits
(I wonder if the P ever got reimbursed for the use of SF Knights in any way other than being 'allowed' to open shows for MM on his tour last year..?)

Sorry to rain on your parade tibbs but I hand coded that filter. You think an official one would say "bullshizzle"

Fair enough man, you do what you need to. You do a top job running this ship and we all appreciate it...I'd be lost without it these days - it's my connection to the real music world.

I was just ranting against 'the man' in general...f*** 'the man'!

That hand-coded filler is flavor, son. Fuh'rizzle.

Me? I just pop an asterisk in to my f*ckin' words. But good lookin' out for the kids, 'Po.

Back on topic, just cos I haven't really chimed-in yet, I liked the Mac track, he has a nice flow on it! Plus the video is cool. End of the day Mac Miller is a rapper - he just picks beats he likes. maybe he knew it was originally a Finesse track but then again maybe he didn't. And he's young, a kid. We can all get excited and miss things.

I wonder how many samples Finesse cleared
