Lord Finesse filed a $10 million lawsuit against Mac Miller for borrowing some of the “Hip 2 Da Game” beat when Mac was 18. Below, Mac Miller gives his thoughts about the situation.
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.
4. When I heard there was a problem, I reached out to him to try and solve it. No response.
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.Previous: Mac Miller Ft. Casey Veggies & Joey Bada$$ - “America” (Official Video)
