The Origin: Syreeta – ‘Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers

September 1, 2010 JUKEBOXDC Staff Editorials No Comments  

Me and Jay were speaking on this earlier…I was listening to DC emcee Fat Trel’s latest No Secrets (which is nice, by the way) and came upon a track early in called ‘Deep Thoughts’. Five seconds in I immediately think about Prodigy’s (of Mobb Deep) ‘Diamond’ from his classic H.N.I.C. Other Hip-Hop fans will also remember Joe Budden’s use of the sample (. Quite frankly it wouldn’t surprise me if there were a hundred others, this is a really sick sample.
With all this said, I had to throw these up here with the original, which is from a crazy timeless Syreeta (and Stevie Wonder) track ‘Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers’ from Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta.

Young Buck To Sue G-Unit?

Nashville, TN – Earlier this month it was reported that armed Federal agents raided the Nashville home of former G-Unit artist, Young Buck, to collect for a past due tax debt. In response, Buck filed for protection under the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Laws that day (8/3), in effect, stopping the property seizure.
Under Chapter 13 laws, debtors are allowed to keep all of their possessions and then have a 5-year term to repay their creditors under a court-approved payment plan. This measure means that Buck will be able to pay the IRS debt back over time and will get all of his seized property returned to him.
Filing Chapter 13 also has the effect of negating any and all contractual obligations held by the filer, which in the case of Young Buck, includes his recording and publishing contracts with G-Unit Records, thus allowing him to shop for another deal.
Although it is rumored that Buck is readying a September release date for his third studio album, that is not the case. He is however currently under consideration at several labels.
“I was forced to file bankruptcy, not because I am broke. “ Buck advises, “But because I have to get my finances back in order and deal with the contract situations I was in. Now I have a clean slate and full control over my own life and career.”
When asked about his rumored plans to file a lawsuit against his former label, G-Unit, its CEO, 50 Cent and ex-GM and former Young Buck manager, Sha Money XL, Buck says. “Where did that rumor come from?! I have not filed suit against anyone, although, maybe that’s not a bad idea!”
