Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Harold’s

After a weekend of listening tracks like “Shame”, “Deeper” and “Thuggin” all weekend, I’m pretty happy to announce a new leak off of the Freddie Gibbs & Madlib ep, coming out tomorrow. “Harold’s” named after the famous Southside Chicago chicken chain, will be on the EP and may appear on the long-overdue full length MadGibbs album Cocaine Piñata, coming out February 4th.

will.i.am Countersues Pharrell Williams

Spike TV Presents the 2003 GQ Men of the Year Awards - Rehearsals

From TMZ:

Will.i.am has fired back at Pharrell in a lawsuit, claiming Pharrell is a serial thief who steals names for profit — including Will’s.

Pharrell has launched a YouTube channel called I AM OTHER. After Will fired off a cease and desist letter, demanding that Pharrell stop using “I AM,” Pharrell filed a lawsuit, asking a judge to protect his right to use the “I AM” moniker.

Now we’ve obtained new legal docs, in which Will.i.am is countersuing Pharrell, claiming the dude has a long, copycat history. Will.i.am notes … Pharrell co-founded a record label called Star Trak Entertainment — sound familiar?

But wait, there’s more. Will also notes Pharrell is being sued by Marvin Gaye’s family for allegedly ripping off “Got to Give it Up” for his summer smash “Blurred Lines.”

And there’s still more. Will claims Pharrell also tried to register the trademark, Pink Slime — which Will says is similar to Slime, owned by Mattel. That’s a stretch, right?

As for using “I AM,” Will points out it will confuse people because they’re both on the same record label and they have similar musical styles.

As for what Will wants … $$$.

NBA Jam creator coded the game so that the Chicago Bulls would always miss last-second shots against the Detroit Pistons.

Mysteries from my childhood resolved in an ESPN interview with the creator of NBA Jam (via Reddit);

It’s true, but only when the Bulls played the Pistons. If there was a close game and anyone on the Bulls took a last second shot, we wrote special code in the game so that they would average out to be bricks. There was the big competition back in the day between the Pistons and the Bulls, and since I was always a big Pistons fan, that was my opportunity to level the playing field.
