Yet, 13 neither Juicy J nor his representation ever negotiated, paid for, nor obtained, the 14 rights in the video. 15 4. Adding insult to injury, Juicy J and his representation have engaged in 16 a campaign to strip CDP ofits rightful ownership ofthe video by threatening legal 17 action for CDP's lawful use ofits own work. This is irony at its best. Neither Juicy 18 J, Columbia, Sony Music, nor Sony Corporation own any rights in the music video 19 Bandz A Make Her Dance and their use and widespread dissemination ofthe Video theJasmineBRAND.com20 is a flagrant violation ofPlaintiffs' rights. 21 JURISDICTION AND VENUE 22 5.

Defendant Columbia Records (Columbia) is a recording label, under 15 the ownership ofSony Music Entertainment. Columbia has signed Juicy J to a 16 recording contract on or about August 2012 and has represented Juicy J as a 17 recording artist since that time. 18 11.

CDP is a world-wide cutting-edge production company that works 25 closely with the entertainment professionals to creatively produce some ofthe best 26 content for use with music videos, television shows, movies, commercials, 27 documentaries, interviews and event coverage. 28 COMPLAINT theJasmineBRAND.com Case 2:14-cv-07714-SS Document 1 Filed 10/03/14 Page 4 of 15 Page ID #:4 1 14. CDP prides itselfon delivering to recording artists from all genres the 2 latest technology in Videos, working with a range of budgets and creating the hottest 3 concepts the seen to date. CDP has earned a solid reputation workingwith several 4 major label recording artists and celebrities, all ofwhom have become CDP's 5 satisfied clients over the years. 6 15. CDP also works closely with clients in capturing raw and behind-the- 7 scenes footage for any event that capture the Zeitgeist so desperately sought afterby 8 all recordingartists. CDP's work is all inclusive, providing all clients top to bottom 9 service for alltheJasmineBRAND.com projects, ensuring a complete product in the end with the highest 10 production quality possible. CDP also puts together creative treatments for all 11 projects to guarantee that they are tailored to suit each individual client. Finally, 12 CDP provides services in post-production work, making sure that the final product 13 is as near perfection as possible. 14 EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS LAWSUIT 15 16. CDP's reputation and its ability to get the job done is the reason that, 16 on or about August 4,2012, Juicy J called upon CDP to shoot his then new video for 17 the lead single title on his third solo album, "Bandz A Make Her Dance" ("the 18 Video"). Juicy J insisted that CDP produce the Video "within two days." The Video 19 was to feature Juicy J, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz—which added significantly to the theJasmineBRAND.com20 difficulties in logistics. 21 17. The next day, on or about August 5, 2012, CDP created a full original 22 treatment for the Video and the entire production crew immediately flew from Los 23 Angeles to Miami for preparations. Phase 1 would be shot there to capture the 24 footage ofLil' Wayne (who owns a residence in Miami) while phase 2 would be 25 shot in Atlanta to capture the footage of2 Chainz (who owns a residence in the 26 Atlanta area). 27 18. Once in Miami, on or about August 6, 2012, CDP undertook the entire 28 pre-production process, including location scouting, casting, hiring other off-camera 4 COMPLAINT theJasmineBRAND.com Case 2:14-cv-07714-SS Document 1 Filed 10/03/14 Page 5 of 15 Page ID #:5 1 personnel, obtaining lighting for the shoot, secure the trailers for the shoot, obtain 2 props, recruit school band, organize food and craft services, obtain insurance and 3 provide all other needed functions to produce Phase 1 ofthe Video. 4 19. On or about August 7,2012, all aspects ofthe production had been 5 organized and ready to move forward. Unfortunately, Lil Wayne informed CDP 6 that he would not appear for the shoot and thus everyone believed that the 7 production had been terminated indefinitely. 8 20. However, about an hour later, Lil Wayne's representatives reached out 9 to CDP and informedtheJasmineBRAND.com them that Lil Wayne would participate in the Video and that 10 arrangements needed to be made immediately. 11 21. As a result ofthe cancellation, CDP lost the venue that had been 12 secured and CDP had now less than an hour to find an alternate location. CDP also 13 had to secure a trailer that could accommodate Lil Wayne's request that a television 14 set be on location so that he could watch the Olympics. 15 22. Over the next fifteen hours, CDP produced and shot Phase 1 ofthe 16 Video that they had conceived. 17 23. On or about August 9,2012, Mr. Dar returned to Los Angeles and 18 began to organize Phase 2 ofthe Video, which was to take place in Atlanta and 19 feature 2 Chainz. theJasmineBRAND.com20 24. On or about August 24,2012, Mr. Dar and a crew from CDP flew to 21 Atlanta. 22 25.

  • Hip Hop Club Songs

Around 1978, he used to tease his friend who was in the US Army by singing hip/hop/hip/hop. He was mimicking the cadence rhythm of the soldiers. Initially known as Disco Rap, hip-hop music is a stylized download mp3 rocket pro free 2010 rhythmic music form which contains rapping and beat boxing as its elements. This music developed as a part of the 'hip-hop culture' in New York, particularly among the African-Americans. Today, hip hop music has become extremely popular among the masses. With the commercialization of this genre of music, a new era of talent paved its path to give music a new feel and rhythm by using words in the interim as a form of expression. Artists like Snoop Dog, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Black- Eyed Peas have popularized this particular genre even further. Certain artists, who were known for performing other genres also started experimenting with rap and hip-hop.

  • 3Pm Bitches Ain't Shit, but Hoes and Tricks
    Behar 1 Sarah Behar 9 June 2014 Dr. Harris- Moore Writing 50 – 3pm Bitches Ain’t Shit, But Hoes and Tricks The ‘rap’ genre’s success and rampant spread throughout western culture can be summarized by the very nature of the title I’ve given this essay—a common occurrence, a catchy line of cadence with brutal and unabashed sexism. As a society, we've become desensitized to these sexist messages, which are both ambiguously and blatantly connoted in the lyrics. Today’s rap is filled with representations of women through which they are sexualized, objectified, and, in some cases, physically harmed. The quintessential problem presented is not only the objectification of the physical attributes of females but also of their character and personality. The rapper refers to a female’s character and existence as an object that demands ownership and obedience, where she has no role in this world beyond what the rapper infers. This misogynistic portrayal of women is very evident in popular music and has particularly become a defining attribute in the genre of rap. Through the suggestions of words and imagery in rap lyrics and music videos, the bodies and personalities of females are exploited, belittled, and sexualized by male and female rappers. Many factors contribute to this problem, affecting the mainstream and particularly the youth consuming this media. Misogyny and inequality between men and women have plagued society throughout history. Dr. Mel Konner, a researcher in anthropology and human nature, defines misogyny, sexism, and chauvinism as a singular entity. Although the stringent dictionary definitions of each term give slightly different meanings, they all describe “ideologies and methods for controlling, Behar 2 restricting, suppressing, denigrating, and when necessary physically harming women so that men can be in charge of their reproductive capacities, limit [women] mainly to reproductive and other subservient roles, and avoid competing with them in an open market of human effort, talent, and skill” (Konner).
