Kanye West, Method Man, Redman, Common, Universal Music Group, Island Def Jam, and Interscope Geffen A & M were all hit with a copyright-infringement suit by the daughter of musician Joe Farrell, thanks to their sampling his 1974 song "Upon This Rock" without Farrell's estate's OK. [Reuters]

Farrell is one of my favorite obscure-ish jazz cats. Really talented guy with some great albums on his own and with Elvin Jones. Worth checking out.
