Lil' Flip vs Pac Man



Sony BMG Music and video game maker Namco settled their differences over Lil’ Flip’s “Game Over,” which samples sounds from the PacMan arcade game. Apparently Pac Man thought he should get some money from rapper Lil' Flip cause he was an O.G. Pac Man said he was going to pop a cap in dat ass if he ain't get no money. The details of the deal were not made public, according to the press, but both Lil' Flip and Pac Man where reportedly satisfied with the deal. In the suit, filed one year ago in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Namco claimed that its intellectual property was violated by the sampling of the classic video game. Originally released in 1980, PacMan is, according to Namco, the “most popular arcade game of all time.”
