BBC: “A judge has dismissed claims by the ex-frontman of rap group 2 Live Crew that rapper 50 Cent stole the opening line for the 2003 single In Da Club. Luther Campbell filed a claim at Miami Federal Court in January that 50 Cent used a line from Campbell’s song It’s Your Birthday, changing just one word.”
Luther Campbell, as you will recall, was sued for similar purposes in 1992 and won.
I’m gonna guess that word is “shorty,” since I don’t remember it in common usage outside of New York City until well into the late nineties.
