Jazz musician’s estate accuse Drizzy of cutting himself a slice without permission.

Drake is facing a lawsuit over the use of a prominent spoken word sample on ‘Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2’ from last year’s Nothing Was The Same.

The estate of jazz musician Jimmy Smith claim the sample at the beginning of the track, taken from his ‘Jimmy Smith Rap’ (below), was used without permission.

The album’s liner notes state that the song was licensed, but TMZ reports that  Smith’s estate claim they were never asked for permission. They’re suing Drake, Cash Money and others for more than $300,000.

Drake’s still smiling though – he’s been keeping himself busy playing pranks on unsuspecting pedestrians and keeping us topped up with new tracks, including the Lauryn Hill-sampling ‘Draft Day’ and ‘Days In The East’.
