Please, if rap survived Alan Iverson's album, it's hardier than anyone guessed.

Well, I guarantee you that P Diddy's career is over.

Seriously though, if you really examine this ruling, this is a huge blow to the rap industry. I'd guess that the majority of rap songs sample. Now, they can't or they'll have to pay. I would also assume that the people who own the songs being sampled could also refuse to allow the sampling.

This is obviously a ruling made to keep the black man down.

If samples are outlawed, only outlaws will have samples.

Which, I guess, most rappers are.

Rap died a looooong time ago.

If Hammer's career hadn't been over already, it would be now.
