One of my favourite rappers. 'Simon Said' is now an unarguably iconic hip hop track. Go anywhere and the dj spins and see if ppl don't loose their damn minds no matter the occasion. Oh, and to the dude somewhere down below commenting on PM's looks. I love that smile and that gap in his teeth is cute as fuck ....makes me wanna mmmmuuuaaah! Chicks dig him. Come here to check out another dudes lips your in the wrong place brah!

I love 'Simon Says', but the first thing that comes to my mind for Pharoahe Monch is still his verse on 'Oh No'.

I understand exactly what he's saying. Who knows what would have happened if things would have been different. Success is great but you never know what negatives could have came from it. So it's better to just stay positive when things don't work out the way you hoped.

they only sued cuz the track was big. If it was just another track they wouldn't care. They just wanted a cut from the brother knowing he got it.

yep not because he didnt get permission to sample Godzilla theme music at all. Its because he was a "brother". Love how people pull that race card lmao.

I'm glad they sued him maybe if he asked to use the music he wouldn't have been sued but he took Toho's most famous icons theme without any permission

And guess what? who fucking cares about Godzilla! Monarch made a classic song that's going to be remember forever! Those shitty godzilla movies were terrible to the down bottom.

The problem is they want all the money for something that was about to be lost in space and history and a mystery. When an artist recycles, restores or remixes something it often gives new life to the original and that tends to create new opportunities and revenues for the original creator but then they're piggy backing on the innovation of the new artist and they don't break bread with the new creator for reviving them. That's out of whack to just merely go for a cash grab instead of seeking a reasonable compensation.

Toho made enough money off of the movies, they just didn't want there sample taken for fucks sake.

Shut up. People duplicate things in their own version all the time. The man took a piece of the Godzilla theme and added to it.

Its popular because it was Godzilla theme....lmao the rap was mediocre and that's me being generous. But everyone loved it because of the Godzilla's theme.

Well, to have the insight to take that particular sample and lay the drums and come up with a chorus like he did, regardless if you think the raps are mediocre, pharaohs still deserves some props for it! 🙌🏽

This world is just about money. He was sued because the creator is obsessed with money and will do anything to make a quick buck.

Yeah you know the creators of the Godzilla theme who composed it in 1962 retired in 1995 and gave over the rights of his music to toho and died in 2006. Surprisingly Toho wasn't very happy with a guy using there music without credit or license. Listen I have nothing against pharaoh he seems like a good guy but he should've seen this coming
