Cypress Hill backup singer sees himself in Grand Theft Auto, sues Rockstar
By Joseph L. Flatley posted Dec 9th 2010 4:25PM
Our friends, this next post is fraught with danger, excitement, and West
Coast rappers with names like B-Real, Sen Dog, and Michael "Shagg"
Washington. Indeed, the latter is alleging that Rockstar appropriated his
likeness for the character CJ, a hood in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
whose life apparently shares many details with his own troubled
upbringing, "including how the teen-agers in his gang rode around on
bicycles," according to his lawyer. It seems that way back in 2003 the
Cypress Hill backup singer met with reps from the game studio for a two
hour interview "to talk about street life," and the next thing you know,
San Andreas is released and you have criminals riding around on bikes!
Coincidence? Mr. Shagg doesn't think so, and he's asking for twenty-five
percent of Rockstar's profits from the game -- approximately $250 million |
