The Black Eyed Peas are being sued for plagiarism. A copyright infrigement lawsuit has been filed by Ebony Latrice Batts aka Phoenix Phenom and Manfred Mohr against each of the Peas individually and collectively.
Phoenix and Manfred claim that their song "Boom Dynamite" is incredibly similar to BEP's "Boom Boom Pow." Their attorney states:
“My clients submitted their copyrighted song “Boom Dynamite” to Interscope Records after Interscope had shown interest in some of their music, and the Black Eyed Peas later copied the song when they wrote “Boom Boom Pow.” A simple listening of the two songs will tell you that the songs are substantially similar, and that the hooks of the two songs are virtually identical in rhythm and lyrics.”
I didn't notice this was posted on perez's site he hates them so of course he would post about this even though it's unlikely that they will sue successfully.

the first one is based off of a common cheer ("i got that boom dynamite, don't mess with dynamite, ’cause when you mess with dynamite it goes tick tick tick boom")
nothing is original.
the lawsuit should be tossed. they both sound nothing alike and were both most likely based off of a well-known urban cheer
