From Illseed of AllHipHop:
DJ Butter is a well known, legend from Detroit, but he’s stepping up now about something that happened a long time ago. Here is the deal. He had a mixtape called “Sh*t Happens†and it dropped about 9 years ago. One of the songs on there was taken and turned into a joint on D12’s first CD. Now, DJ Butter feels like he was ripped off. I wonder what the legalites are with jacking from a non-commercial product. I don’t know if this was actually in stores…hell, I’m not a lawyer. Here is what D12 member Mr. Porter had to say:
“We got the song and we redid the song and we end up using it for our album. We said “Yo! What is the song for Dog?”. We (D12) was going to use it for DJ Butter’s mixtape. Alright lets call Butter and let him know to not put the song out until atleast after the album (Devil’s Night album). And after ya’ll talked (Referring Eminem and Paul talking to DJ Butter), I Kind of understood that they were going to reimbursed you for that. Basically, They didn’t do none of that. None of that went down. Cause I know Eminem did a drop for you. I’m very busy, but when it come down to it. That don’t make sense!â€
