Lawsuit Drake was sued by the estate of Jimmy Smith over the sampling of 'Jimmy Smith Rap' in the song. Although Cash Money Records had licensed the recording of the spoken-word piece, the estate argued that they had not licensed the composition (or lack thereof). The estate argued that they would not have licensed the song to Drake in the first place, given that Smith 'wasn't a fan of hip hop'. Of particular prominence in the case was a line from 'Jimmy Smith Rap' that was modified to express an opinion different from that of the original recording; the line 'Jazz is the only real music that's gonna last.
All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow. But jazz was, is and always will be', was abridged in 'Pound Cake' to state that 'Only real music's gonna last. All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow.' District Court judge ruled in favour of Drake, arguing that his use of the passage qualified as due to its.
Pauley argued that by 'transforming Jimmy Smith's brazen dismissal of all non-jazz music into a statement that 'real music,' with no qualifiers, is 'the only thing that's gonna last.' , Drake had created 'something new, with a further purpose or different character', with a 'sharply different' purpose than the original work. The use of a total of 35 seconds of spoken-word material from 'Jimmy Smith Rap' was considered reasonable, noting that the song's subsequent use of a second passage, in which Smith stated that his 'company' had champagne in his studio, and that 'we just laid back and recorded the album', was a commentary on an argument 'that many musicians make records in similar ways (e.g.
With the help of A&R experts or the stimulating effects of champagne), but that only 'real' music — regardless of creative process or genre — will stand the test of time.' Live performances Jay-Z performed 'Pound Cake' for the first time while on his in,.
