Mixtape DJs React To Lil Wayne Suing DJs
Posted: Monday - April 6, 2009 | As we previously reported, Lil Wayne and his label Cash Money Records has filed suit against DJ Drama, The Aphilliates Music Group and distribution outlet BCD Music Group over the distribution of various mixtapes that feature Lil Wayne. Yo! Raps reached out to some DJs to get a statement about the situation and what they think about Weezy suing all DJs that unofficially dropped Lil Wayne mixtapes. "Personally I feel sad that Lil Wayne would be suing the DJs. We are simply the people that helps break your music when radio won't play the records that built the hype and energy to get you to the level you are at. I think you can't really do anything to Wayne because he is established and the fans are too much into him to not buy his music. I feel hit him when it hurts and don't support his new Young Money artists that are coming out." - Superstar Jay "I'm not surprised at all that Cash Money Records is suing BCD Music Group for distributing Lil Wayne mixtapes. What surprises me is the fact that DJ Drama and his company are the main defendants named in the lawsuit. Especially after Drama was instrumental in helping Lil Wayne clear his name and gain some credibility back amongst the DJ community after his first act of disrespect towards mixtape DJs. There's nothing confusing or vague about this lawsuit though. The court papers are clear. I bet Lil Wayne is going to be on Drama's radio show soon saying 'I didn't mean to sue Drama. I meant to sue some other niggas'." - DJ Chuck T "I think it's fucking nuts suing DJs because DJs made Wayne hot! All they did was to do their job and the mixtapes were only for promotional use. DJs made Wayne hot on the streets! All that damn syrup is going to Wayne's fucking head and that's why he is doing Rock music." - DJ Woogie (Shadyville, G-Unit) "This is a sad day for mixtape DJs. But we all knew this day was coming. I have been involved with mixtapes since they were actually 'cassette tapes.' I've dropped close to 200 mixes, and can personally speak on being charged after having my record store raided for mix CDs. The problem exists when we as DJs compete on the same level of that of major labels, meaning if we get bar codes and sound scan, it's a problem. As long as we pop the trunk and sell hand to hand it's good but as soon as a classic like DJ Drama's Trap Or Die or Dedication sits on the shelf next to a project the label is taking losses on and out sells it, it's a problem!" - DJ Infamous Source: Yoraps

^He's got a point...Mixtape DJs have been around forever, theres a gang of them who make a living of off this shit and Wayne (or his camp) are trying to shut them down so fuck it...they need to play hardball right back. If Drake and those other YM cats are so ill, they'll make it regardless.

I always wondered why artists dont sue other artists rapping on there beats? I know they call them freestyles, but they aint really freestyles, niggaz have sat down and wrote there version off that record, NOT that I have a problem with it but I just wonder why the original artists dont get paid off that shit????

This is one of the most retarded things Cash Money has done EVER
I agree with Snapper completely. The whole weezy Mixtape Years helped him get back on top, and generated fuk loads of interest in Cash Money themselves. Birdman wouldnt hav got as big as he has again without the mixtapes people dropped with Wayne on it. ESPECIALLY Drama, which is what i don't understand. If weezy wants to do an official album with Drama (i kno he didnt actually end up doing that, but he expressed interest in it) then y sue him afterwards? Weezy's going a bit wierd, first rock music and then decides to sue random people that helped bring his career back to the forefront!
