OK, this is one is an unabashed attempt to gain new Facebook Likes. Mac Miller and his crew are in town tonight (Aug 2) to play the Nikon at Jones Beach and I’ve got a stack of MM tour posters burning a hole in my pocket. That’s right, if you’d like to win one awesome 11″ x 17″ Macadelic tour poster, go to bumpershine.com/macmiller and enter the contest. It’s an instant win contest, so it will last for as long as I have the prizes (I have about 5 I think). Good luck and if the Mac Miller Nation could tweet the shit out of this that would be awesome.
In other more serious Mac news, the young rapper is being sued for $10 million by Lord Finesse in a dispute over his K.I.D.S mixtape:
Veteran rapper Lord Finesse has filed a lawsuit against Mac Miller over the use of his 1995 track “Hip 2 Da Game,” reports Courthouse News Service. The suit accuses Miller of lifting the track for his own 2010 cut “Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza,” which appeared on his mixtape K.I.D.S. and became a breakout Internet hit for the then-rising rapper.
The outcome of this suit could have serious ramifications for the future of mixtapes and mash-ups in general.
