Jay Z and Kanye West Settle with Syl Johnson


After an uncleard sample of one of Chicago Blues man Syl Johnson's songs appeared on Jay Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne album, Syl Johnson took The Throne to court  [click here if you missed that].

Yeah, that's all been settled...

From TMZ
In legal docs filed in Illinois federal court this week, the lawsuit was dismissed because the two sides reached a settlement ... though no further details were made available.

Johnson is no stranger to copyright infringement cases; he's previously sued Michael Jackson, Jefferson Airplane and Cypress Hill.
