Last week, Fabolous turned heads when he dropped his controversial new record "So NY" on the Funkmaster Flex show. The track references Lil Wayne's anti-NY comments, saying, "I'm so New York, Weezy probably don't like me." Unfortunately, that playful nudge only touches the surface of the drama.
Producer Kenoe, who is best known for crafting the "Beez In The Trap" instrumental for Nicki Minaj, is quite unhappy with Just Blaze and has accused him of beat jacking.
"Fab hit me on the phone and was like, 'Yo I got this record and I want to drop it,'" Keno told Hip Hop Wired. "He was like 'I had the beat for a minute' and he called Just Blaze cause he had been working with him to see if he made the beat. Just Blaze said no, it wasn't his beat. So then he told me how he had Wayne in the intro, etc."
After developing a working relationship with YMCMB, Kenoe was reluctant to anger Wayne.
"After I heard it I told his people I didn't want no part of it because Wayne is my people," explained Kenoe. "If he want to use the beat, take Wayne off the into and change the hook cause I felt like it could be a big record. I check back with Duro and he told me they decided to not use the beat. Then I get a call today from my people and they like 'Fab drop this record and they sent it to me and when I heard I hear the same elements and exact same drum pattern. I'm like damn. Just Blaze is supposed to be a big-time producer but he is not creative enough to make a whole new beat on his own?"
Given the incredible resume of Just Blaze, it's doubtful the celebrated producer would need to plagiarize beats. Still, stranger things have happened.
