About Kendrick Lamar

On the professional front, there has been news that The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar are being sued for picking up a segment from Yeasayer’s 2007 track, Sunrise for their song Pray For Me. A recent lawsuit was filed by the broken-up rock band and the complaint states that the two have picked up a “distinctive choral performance” from their Sunrise. The Brooklyn band states that the hip hop artists tweaked it and then made it a “material and substantial portion” for Pray For Me. The lawsuit claims that Lamar and Weeknd tweaked the recording in order to “intent to conceal the infringement” and used it at least eight times in their song.
