Last week, news broke that rapper Rick Ross is suing the pop group LMFAO over a lyric in their 2011 hit song “Party Rock Anthem.” The lyric in question is “Every day I’m shufflin’,” which Ross claims rips off his 2006 song “Hustlin’” -- in which he repeatedly sings the line “Every day I’m hustlin’."
Jonathan Reichman -- the man we refer to as "The Copy Cat" -- an intellectual property attorney from the firm Kenyon and Kenyon LLP, helps explain the issue and whether Ross has much of a case -- and why he waited so long to bring out the legal guns.
