If the Birdman/Lil Wayne collaboration, Like Father Like Son, seemed like a bad idea in 2006, recent allegations tied to the project likely have worsened the idea of the collaboration all over again.

As of Friday, October 30, 2009, Thomas Marasciullo, filed a lawsuit claiming the father/son duo stole vocal arrangements from him, according to the Associated Press.

The suit identifies both rappers, their label and an assortment of distribution companies.

Marasciullo, a Florida man, was hired to provide “Italian styled spoken word,” vocals on a variety of tracks, but was never compensated on either Like Father Like Son or Baby’s 5 (Star) Stunna.

A total of nine tracks were apparently used, per the lawsuit, and Marisciullo is said to be seeking unspecified damages.

According to the Boston Herald, Andre 3000 is being sued by a Massachusetts postal worker, Timothy McGee, who is claiming the eccentric rapper’s Emmy Award winning cartoon, “Class of 3000,” borrowed elements from a show he created and proposed to the Cartoon Network practically ten years ago.

McGee’s show, The Music Factory of the 90’s, was pitched to Kenny Babyface” Edmonds in 1997 and the former art student alleges “characters, artwork, storylines [and] concepts” were stolen to aid benefit the success of “Class of 3000.” The suit further insinuates that Andre “3000″ Benjamin ”was credited with the creation, executive production and starring role in ‘Class of 3000,’” which mirrored much of the themes and/or direction of “The Music Factory.” 

it continued:

“The similarities between the expression of Mr. McGee’s work in ‘The Music Factory’ and that of ‘Class of 3000′ are sufficiently detailed and pervasive.”

McGee’s lawyer, Jerrold Neeff, is seeking damages including, but not limited to, all profits from the show, legal fees and “whatever this court may deem additionally just and proper.”

Neef added, “”We’ve requested $2 million in damages thus far…The rest remains to be seen.”
