Eminem Sued By Hot Stylz Over "Rap God" Lyrics [LISTEN]

The lawsuit claims that "Rap God" uses a 25-second section from Hotstylz 2007 "Lookin Boy" without paying them.

It will be an uphill battle for Hotstylz to win this case. Eminem is backed by a high-powered team of attorneys who have experience defending Em in a variety of lawsuits. His label was founded by Dr. Dre who happens to be the second wealthiest man in hip-hop and has distribution deals with Warner Music Group and Interscope, who would rather not see one of their most valuable artists lose this case.

Below are the lyrics from "Rap God" and a section from "Lookin Boy." You decide after listening whether or not the lawsuit has any chance of going forward. The clip in question begins at 2:15 during "Rap God."

Eminem "Rap God" Lyrics:

Little gay looking boy
So gay I can barely say it with a straight face looking boy
You witnessing a massacre
Like you watching a church gathering take place looking boy
Oy vey, that boy's gay, that's all they say looking boy
You get a thumbs up, pat on the back
And a way to go from your label everyday looking boy
Hey, looking boy, what you say looking boy?
I got a "hell yeah" from Dre looking boy
I'mma work for everything I have
Never ask nobody for shit, get outta my face looking boy

Hotstylz "Lookin Boy" Lyrics:

Weak lookin boy, you slow lookin boy,
Dirty white sock on your toe lookin boy,
You rat lookin boy, will you marry me, splat lookin boy,
Whoopi Goldberg black lip lookin boy,
Midnight train Gladys Knight lookin boy
