God forgives and Rick Ross doesn't.

The actual Ross is now out of jail, and sued rapper Ross for occupying his identity. A California appeals court has ruled that the emcee has the right to use the name however. -

Music Times, like so many other music publications, was looking to publish a "Best of 2013" playlist. We met to discuss what such a playlist should include, and that's where we ran into trouble.

Today's example may be less about the money and more about the divine consequences of the sample. -
