L'vovo vs. Jay Z- Who is more of a gangster!!

LMAO... One of SA's best and influential kwaito star's album has been pulled of the shelves. L'vovo Derrango's latest project, The Heavyweight, has been suspended, or maybe even expelled from Music Stores for apparently ripping off Jigga's American Gangster cd cover.

It is said that Jay's local record label, Universal Music, sent Derrango's record label an email complaining that "L'vovo's sleeve resembles that of Jay Z". hmmm... I guess that when creativity lacks, you just gotta jack some ideas from the real heavyweights. But seriously mr Derrango... didn't you think that we will notice. lmao... check this out fellas!!

And then check Jay Z's sleeve of American Gangster:

Yeah... you made my year Derrango. Hopefully your album comes back to the shelves before the application for nominations for the SAMA's close.
But it damn seems like L'vovo ain't the only one ripping cd sleeves. Jigga's protege and artists, Rihanna, is also being accused of such. But I ain't really convinced with this one.

Back in 1998, there was a compilation CD put out by Extreme Championship Wrestling. The album included songs by Motorhead and Megadeth and its cover looked suspiciously similar to the cover of pop singer Rihanna’s new record, Rated R. In fact, the two covers look so alike that professional wrestler Paul Heyman, who owns the rights to the ECW album, has accused Rihanna of hijacking his cover art. Both covers have someone with patches over their eyes, wrapped in barbed wire, with their right arm in the air.

Here is the EWC Extreme Music album cover...

And then comes Rihanna's latest offering album cover.
Uhm.... I don't know. I'll get back to you later ayt!!
