Hey @kanyewest & @JayZ, thanks for illegally sampling Syl Johnson on "The Joy" and then crediting us(?). Have your lawyers call our lawyer.

-Numero Group

Last week the Chicago based archival record label Numero Group caught a lot of attention on twitter. They publicly called out Kanye and Jay-Z after learning they commercially released "The Joy" on the deluxe edition of Watch the Throne. The problem lies in the song containing an uncleared sample of Syl Johnson's Different Strokes. It'll be interesting seeing how this plays out being that Numero totally caught rap's biggest with their pants down. Of course its neither Ye's, J's or even P. Rock who produced it's fault. Just makes you think is Def Jam that arrogant or was the legal department just sleeping on the job?

A couple days ago the interweb was in a frenzy about the HBO show Entourage playing "Minor Threat" during an episode. I actually got tipped off on twitter from Scott Vener, the Music Supervisor for Entourage. Around the same time I was driving home from work and heard "Steppin Stone" by The Monkees. Of course I bring this up cus Minor Threat does a version of the song. If you ask me I think they're both pretty awesome.
