    "comment": "DJ Premier: \"With the lawsuit, somebody ratted on us. [The estate of jazz drummer Shelly Manne, whose 1972 track “Infinity” was sampled for the song, sued Premier.] It’s a little, itty-bity piece of the song and it’s a drummer’s album, so who’s gonna really find that? Somebody ratted and whoever it is [lowers voice] one day, we’ll find them. [Laughs.] But the money was flowing, so we paid them off. They just said, “Add him as a writer,” which we did and the fee wasn’t over the top.\"",
