Syl Johnson, a respected musician, who created many successful blues and soul songs in the 1960s and 1970s, has filed a lawsuit against hip hop superstars Kanye West and Jay-Z.
This is over an allegedly uncleared sample on the duo's latest album, Watch the Throne.
In a complaint filed in Illinois federal court on Friday, October 14, Johnson claims the two famous hip hop artists plus UMG and Def Jam took a portion of his song, Different Strokes, and used it on a song entitled The Joy featuring Curtis Mayfield.
