Lil Wayne sued by Rolling Stones over "Playing with Fire"

You can sue someone for using the three of the same words in a sentence? Words like "but" and "me"? Cripes.

I actually do think whoever wrote "Playing With Fire" probably took the idea from the Rolling Stones song. They do sound a lot alike. Still, if it was indeed the band's idea to sue (and not just the publisher's), it's hypocritical because the Rolling Stones played old blues songs on their albums without paying or even crediting the original songwriters like Willie Dixon or Robert Johnson. I love the Stones' music, but, damn, this does makes them look like greedy hypocrites.

Can't people find something better to complain about?

Just another example of old white men in cheap suits with a lot of money trying to take something from a black man. We should pay them reparations or give them 40 acres.

Most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!!

If this holds up in court, then we have a real problem with our judicial system.

Hey, the Rolling Stones successfully sued The Verve. Go for it! They know, at the very least, it'll only bring everyone involved more publicity. Did you know John Fogerty (CCR) was once sued for writing a track that sounded too much like a track he wrote for Creedence?

A$$holes, Abcko is suing -- not the Stones. The Stones haven't owned the rights to that song since they broke rank with Allen Klein in 1969 and formed their own record company. Do your homework before you drag real artists like the Stones through the mud. Stones have been relevant for more than 40 years. Lil Wayne will be living back in Compton or whatever hive he came from before the decade's through.

Actually, I content The Stones have not been relevant since the late '70s, and Mick Jagger is a parasite who has dragged his own legacy through the mud for decades.

I contend Mick Jagger is an icon, sir.
Your mother would still do him...

Yeah, but Bin Laden is an icon too. It's overrated.
As for my mother, she is and always has been a Beatles fan. She'd still do Ringo, but Jagger, not so much.

dude if you listen to both songs, lil wayne so copied the stones. and fmh if youre calling the stones overrated compared to lil wayne, you have no business listening to music lol

Haha, lil wayne is getting sued by the Rolling Stones for altering one of their songs

they lame as hell 4 tryin to sue that man lil wyane hony dont even worrie about that stuff,that mad cause u blazin

cut out the color, musical style and choices of words, you have 2 drug addicts who both believe that they are the second coming... if we put their livers (or their brains) next to eachother, we would have mirror images of complete mush..

to the idiot who said whoever wrote it....lil Wayne doesn't write anything he just raps as it comes to him
I think it's bs if I was them I'd be honored if he put me or my band in a song
