On October 19th, 2004, Hip-hop\u00a0legend\u00a0Roxanne Shante<\/strong> filed a lawsuit against Janet Jackson<\/strong>, claiming her voice was sampled without permission on Janet’s Damita Jo<\/em> album.<\/p>\n

\n
The song \u201cLike You Don’t Love Me\u201d contains a sampled clip of Shante\u2019s voice saying \u201cso fresh.”<\/li>\n
Shante said she only contemplated the lawsuit after a representative for Jackson called her and said it wasn\u2019t her voice that was sampled.<\/li>\n
Shante, who has owned the masters to her own recordings for almost a decade, said this wasn’t the first time she’d had to deal with\u00a0 sample clearances.<\/li>\n
The words have been used in countless hip-hop songs and have appeared on popular break-beat vinyl compilations.<\/li>\n

Most people assume the words come from Biz Markie<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cNobody Beats the Biz,\u201d which also sampled the original record. $\"\"$ <\/a><\/li>\n
