Who’s Suing Over ‘Real Love’?

According to Tuff City Records, it is one of the most sampled songs in hip hop history. Countless notable artists have borrowed parts of the song and made new creations. Slick Rick, 2Pac, Rakim, Ice Cube, and Eric B have sampled the tune.

‘Real Love’ is accused of sampling the musical composition and sound recording of ‘Impeach the President.’ The track is by Roy C and The Honey Dippers.

Universal has previously credited an 80’s hip hop song by Audio Two called ‘Top Billin’ as the sample, per Genius.

Mary J. Blige has not publicly reacted to the lawsuit.
