Pacman to take a bite out of Lil' Flip
Namco America has filed a lawsuit against Lil' Flip and Sony Music Entertainment for copyright infringement for the unauthorized use of sounds sampled from Pacman on Flip's "Game Over." I think that this is one of those cases where the record company should've known better. The sounds from Pacman aren't an obscure sample that you can slip into a record without clearing them. Just about anybody who has played the game can probably recognize some of the Pacman sounds. So, the lesson learned is that record companies should probably clear recognizable samples, especially for singles from artists who are going to put out videos that get a ton of play from MTV.

Game - Higher
This is the lead single from the G-Unit's west coast member Game and is produced by Dr. Dre. Listen all the way to the end and you'll hear Dre tell you to look out for Detox.

Fingerprint Records presents Inked Impressions
Nobs' crew has more indie hip hop ties than I thought. This compilation features some very good music from this overlooked crew with guest appearances from LoDeck, Mac Lethal, and Joey Beats.
