Stones throw, def jam and many more sued over “bumpin’ bus stop” sample
Whether you know it or not, chances are you have heard some portion of the song “Bumpin’ Bus Stop” by Thunder & Lightning. How? Well, because it’s been sampled by the likes of Kanye West, DJ Premier, People Under The Stairs, Timbaland, Madlib, Lord Finesse… do I need to continue? Anyway, the legal owners of the song are looking to collect royalties over the sampling of the track and believe that they are owed millions, which makes sense given all the artists who have flipped “Bumpin’ Bus Stop”.
