In this case, just report the news of a hip hop icon. There are plenty of the readers here that recognize his hard work and dedication to hip hop. As a writer, in the news section, reserve your commentary to the comments section or the boards.
Whatever your opinion on the amount of the settlement (which has not been disclosed), you have a new artist that took another artists well established song (without sampling or reinterpreting). Miller used it as his own song, did a professional and well promoted video, performed that song on stage, all to promote himself and his career. I can understand that this was unheard of, and was essentially a hip hop on hip hop crime (suing another artist), but you have an artist taking another artist’s work (using it to a whole nother level, beyond simply a mixtape use) without providing any compensation for it.
I can understand Lord Finnese defending his work.
