TI Sued For Song Theft
By External Source on 27/01/2010
TI is being sued for copyright infringement.
Fellow hip hopper Motoe Blizzid, real name Nathan Filby, claims that TI's 2006 Grammy-winning track 'What You Know' heavily samples his 2004 track 'Reverence'.
In court documents, Filby and production company One LLP claim that they shopped 'Reverence' around various management companies, including TI representatives Relentless Management, meaning TI's people had been exposed to the plaintiff's music. They add that 'What You Know' contains the same 'harmonic range' as 'Reverence' and submitted an algorithm which apparently scientifically proves the theft. Though such algorithms are always rather suspect.
Team TI are yet to respond.
