The Game Sued For $100,000 For Jacking Beat From Producer Infamous

Hip-hop producer Infamous produced a song for The Game's most recent mixtape -- the only problem is he claims never got paid for it ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

According to a lawsuit filed in California, Infamous (real name Marco Rodriguez) claims he did work for Game all the time, so he had no problem sending him a beat to listen to back in 2010 ... so Game could decide whether or not he wanted to use it.

But Infamous claims he never reached any deal with Game, so he was shocked when the beat he made was turned into "Skate On," a song featured on Game's mixtape, "California Republic." Infamous is even credited as the producer on Wikipedia (see below).


Infamous says he sent a letter to Game in April to try and get what's his ... but Game never responded.

Infamous says he usually charges between $20-$25,000 per song, but he's suing Game for damages in excess of $100,000. It's worth noting ... the mixtape is available for free online.

The Game -- Accused of a Good Ol' Fashioned Beat Jacking! | TMZ.com

I never got how producers got paid to produce on free mixtapes anyways... !! happens I guess.

written down as an expense to the label and will be made back from touring?

game is gonna win , its the producers fault

Can he get money if game didn't make money off his work??

Game also stole a beat from a nicca on here for the same mixtape. Forgot who it was though. It was in the discussion thread of this mixtape

Stolen from my buddy rich kidd, with no credit for the track.

just because its the "norm" does not make it any less grimey

Producers still own the beats even if its downloadable. That's if its copy written.

dude wont get a dime. if he didnt pay you from the jump he had no plans to pay you homie.


you cannot stop artist from stealin your music (!! will be remade renamed and redone to avoid paying you).. all you can do is keep paper work on dec no matter the relationship have paper work cuz when !! goes sour itll be the only thing you got left.

If the beat was copyrighted then of course he can sue for damages.....
