Turkish composer Selda Bagcan is suing Mos for sampling her track “Ince Ince Kar Yaar” on his track “Supermagic” off of his Grammy-nominated The Ecstatic.

"Your style is very effective," she said in a statement directed at Mos Def, "I expect you to respect the labor of others."

Bagcan claims that she had no idea about her looped participation until she watched the recent Grammy Awards ceremony on television and heard the track.

According to the Hurriyet Daily News, the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism agreed that no permission was granted to use the sample and decided to issue a cease-and-desist letter. Bagcan added the copyright suit, saying that she slaved over those recordings and deserves to get paid if they are used in any way other than what she officially condones.

"My life was spent in court," she explained. "My trials were meant to intimidate others. My close friend and the legendary name of Anatolian rock music, Cem Karaca, spent his life in exile just like Nazõm Hikmet. Turkey did not own its values, leaving them to loneliness."

No word on whether Mos Def has responded to either letter, but hopefully the lawsuit doesn't hinder Mos from making another banging album.   We already have a three year minimum to wait for each cd.

Joining the likes of Diddy, Jay-Z and Wyclef are Mos Def and Jay Electronica who'll perform for the “An Evening for Haiti” benefit concert.

Taking place tonight, the conscious rappers are further using their gifts for good as they grace the stage at The Independent in San Francisco.

Alongside the Hip-Hop lyricists will be DJ Big Don who'll serve as MC for the event as well as other guests who'll brief the audience on the current state of Haiti today.

All proceeds will be donated to the Haiti Action Committee and the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund.

Mos Def is an artist that has been able to create a balance and embrace the best of both worlds with his movie and music career, granted the movies have somewhat eclipsed the albums is the average fan was unaware of Def's history.

For Chicago rapper Common, his history may have started in music, but the last decade has seen the rapper on the silver screen with 4 albums dropping and being featured in 5 movies.

Appearing on the red carpet during the 52^nd Annual Grammy Awards, the rapper spoke with TV Guide to reveal his upcoming leading role alongside Queen Latifah for the film “Just Wright” where the rapper gets to place on a new hat as an NBA basketball player.

The film serves as a romantic comedy as Latifah plays the role of a physical therapist that ends up falling for Common's character as she helps him recover from a career-threatening injury.

Never losing sight of his roots, Common is currently in the process of preparing his 9^th studio album, The Believer, but is still out trying to grab those movie checks.
