In related news a producer has come forward to say that the beat of Ross' “Maybach Music III” is strikingly similar to a beat he sent the rapper three months ago.

Producer  Wyatt "Wyldfyer" Coleman, who's worked with the likes of Ludacris, Jay-Z and Nas went on Twitter to air out his grieivances and posted the original beat to compare to Ross' track.

Speaking on the coincidence he tweeted,

“ARE YOU F********CKING KIDDING ME? GET THE Fawk OUT OF HERER WITH THIS MACHBACH MUSIC III! Are you Fawking serious? …Yo I think my officially done with rap, man...or at least sending out beatz with samples... it cant be THIS much coincidence in the world.. Could be Coincidence. Could be pure FawkERY! Either way, Im done with this rap shyt when it come to emailing out beats yo!”

Listen to the two beats below.

  • nicky barnes

    Sorry. Sounds something like it, but ain't no lawsuit. Can't copyright a feel... I'm a writer, I know...

  • The D>A

    The first track is a Sample from Old records.

    the Second record Has the same Sample Yes but it is much better Produced CLearly.. If you want to protect yourself Better hire Musicians to replay your Old Samples and change the Sample slightly COPyRight it and then shop .. you can then sue for royalties as a copyright Holder. YOU CANT COPYRight A SAMPLE... unless you created it. Know the LAW, Rick Ross does LOL

  • sherlock

    both of em owe sample $$ to somebody. same beat used by o.c. on "the chosen one" back in the mid-90s. just interpolated.

  • Johnny

    Blame the producers Justice League for the jack. Anyway it sounds alot better than the other *****s beat

  • southernqt

    dang his figurine looks like Isaac Hayes

  • dinotnb

    justice league got u bro

  • M.White

    I feel you wyldfyre... there is a similarity, enough difference where you can say it aint out right jacked, but still, you can hear the similarities....

  • Sho

    This is NOT a jacking at all. I can't see how a sample producer can fault another sample producer for using the same sample similarly. You didn't come up with that chord progression yourself, so saying they copied off you is a bit hypocritical.

  • Mac Gizzle

    I'm a producer myself and it's nothing in the world more annoying than beat jacking but you gotta chop them samples up and make new sounds, cause you not making no money you're giving money away really and to be honest with you I truly believe they heard your version, knew what sample it was and said F#*k it! it's a rough business my friend.

    • phantom menace

      i agree with you 10000000000000 percent!

  • Come on son!

    This guy is salty over nothing. I've heard the original sample and all he did was loop the ish up. It sounds good, but it's completely normal for someone else to come across that same sample and use it in a beat, without hearing anything from any other producers. And chances are, if you are using a basic loop, its gonna sound similar to a lot of dude's beats. Matter fact, just listen to the intro of "It's All Real" by Pitch Black (produced by DJ Premier) and tell me he's not looping that same thing over and over. Regardless of that, his beat structure is completely different from the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League version. The problem with this dude's claim is that his version sounds vastly different to the Maybach Music version, his beat structure is basic and doesn't mess with the loop at all so its completely different but these J.U.S.T.I.C.E League dudes flipped, twisted and completely murdered that sample and they don't stay with the same loop throughout the entire song. For all you guys supporting this dude, are you actually listening to the difference between the two tracks or are y'all just buying the hype like tools? I learned my lesson when I heard a beat on that Masta Ace & Edo G. joint that used the same damn sample and beat structure that I used on one of my beats. I chopped that ish up in sixteen different parts and rearranged the crap out of it, but their joint STILL managed to sound the same as mine. Keep in mind, that beat never left my MPC.

  • phantom menace

    all im saying is this. im a producer myself and i have to agree with both party's. i sampled aphaville "forever young" i know like almost two years ago after hearing it on napolean dynamite. then jay comes out with the same sample and damn near exact same form i used when i made the beat. totaly coincidental cause i only released that beat to one of my artist to play with and then we trashed it. wasnt a good song we did. so yea that doessssssss happen. BUTTTTTTTTT when you send someone a beat through email....and then you hear the beat you made beefed up because of course justice leagues has a million dollar studio, and oh yeah when youre getting a live band to perform and record your beat its not that hard to have it chopped up a million different ways. you just gotta be creative and say, hey archeletto on horns take it up a notch at nar whatever! not hard for justice league. now did they still the beat...."NO"! did they still the idea....you got dayumn right they did. and theres really no crime in that. sorry wyatt. i feel what you saying, but technically they didnt still your beat, they just stole your idea!

  • Subzero

    Not Stealing . . Technically.
    1. They sampled the same song, in different ways.
    2. MMIII was played by a live orchestra.
    3. HAPPENS to be the same exact order of the samples. Soo yeah, the idea of tht dude was indeed borrowed. BUT it was legal.
    4. MMIII sounds way better anyway. They did his idea justice.
