Yeasayer sues Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd for an alleged uncleared "Sunrise" sample in "Pray For Me"

Posted: 24 Feb 2020 03:41 PM PST

TMZ article

A Brooklyn-based rock band called Yeasayer claims the duo lifted material from its 2007 song, "Sunrise," slightly altered it ... and inserted it into their 'Pray' single, which was featured on the "Black Panther" soundtrack.

According to the legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- the part allegedly stolen from "Sunrise" is a "distinctive choral performance" the band recorded using their own voices. Yeasayer describes it as "comprised of male voices singing in their highest registers, with animated, pulsing vibrato."

The band claims Weeknd and Kendrick slightly modified a recording of its song with "intent to conceal the infringement" ... and used it in "Pray for Me" up to 8 different times throughout the track.

Yeasayer claims the allegedly stolen material is "immediately recognizable" as theirs. The band is asking for all the "Pray for Me" profits and damages. It also wants an injunction blocking further sales and airplay of 'Pray.'

We reached out to both The Weekend and Kendrick Lamar ... no word back, so far.

[DISCUSSION] Big Sean - Dark Sky Paradise (5 years later)

Posted: 24 Feb 2020 07:43 AM PST

My favorite Sean album by far, remember listening to this in 7th grade with all my friends.

Standout tracks are Blessings ft. Drake, All Your Fault ft. Kanye, I Don't Fuck With You ft. E-40, Paradise, I Know ft. Jhené Aiko, Deep ft. Lil Wayne.

If you don't like Sean then i really suggest listening to this album if you haven't yet, its a 10/10 for me.
