Hot off the decks; Finesse has filed a $10mill lawsuit against Miller for recycling his classic “Hip 2 Da Game” beat. Originally released in 1995 off Finesse’s “The Awakening” the beat can be heard of Mac Millers “KIDS” Mixtape on a song titled “Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza.”

“This is a case about a teenage rapper- Mac Miller- copying the music from a song written, produced and performed by Lord Finesse, a hip hop legend, changing the title and then distributing it under his own name in order to launch his music career,” states Finesse’s complaint.
