I Have Decided To Sue Everyone Suddenly
Blues singer (and father of R&B singer Syleena Johnson) Syl Johnson reportedly in January of this year was suing Michael Jackson, Will Smith, Tupac Shakur and KRS-One – claiming they stole his 1967 single "Different Strokes" without attributing him or paying for the sample.
Well, now he is suing someone else - rap group Cypress Hill. He claims the group sampled his 1969 record "Is It Because I'm Black?" on a track from their 1993 album "Black Sunday" titled "Lock Down (Interlude)." Along with the also recent honorees of VH1's Hip Hop Honors, he is suing a number of record and publishing companies for the brief soundbyte as well.
Why all of a sudden?

Just A Minute....
Some goings on in short in the music world:
Alicia Keys leads the pack this year in American Music Award nominations with four - including Artist of the Year and Favorite Soul/R&B Album for her latest CD "As I Am."
Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman is claiming that Beyonce's new single, "If I Were a Boy," was written by an up-and-coming songwriter from San Diego who had no idea that the singer had recorded her song until it was too late.
Tim McGraw apologized to fans Tuesday for his latest greatest hits album, saying his label should have instead released a record with new music.
An duet between (deceased)stars Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes and Tupac Shakur is said to be featured on the TLC star's posthumous solo album.
The Cure's forthcoming 13th album '4:13' is due for release – but you can every track right now over on Stereogum.
