Daft Punk 'Get Lucky (T.I. Remix)': 'Blurred Lines' Rapper Adds Verse To Pharrell's Other Song Of The Summer

T.I. wasn't satisfied with just one song of the summer. Though he features prominently on the unkillable smash hit "Blurred Lines" alongside Robin Thicke and Pharrell, he felt it was high-time his voice graced that other throwback jam that can't be erased from our collective conscious. The King Of The South added a verse onto Daft Punk's Pharrell and Nile Rodgers collaboration, "Get Lucky."

In other T.I. news, he's currently all tied up in a copyright lawsuit with Marvin Gaye's family concerning "Blurred Lines" similarity to Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up."

Via the lawsuit (which can be read in full at THR):

"Plaintiffs, who have the utmost respect for and admiration of Marvin Gaye, Funkadelic and their musical legacies, reluctantly file this action in the face of multiple adverse claims from alleged successors in interest to those artists. Defendants continue to insist that plaintiffs' massively successful composition, 'Blurred Lines,' copies 'their' compositions."

However, it gets sticky when you consider that Thicke has admitted to being inspired by Gaye's song.

"Pharrell and I were in the studio and I told him that one of my favorite songs of all time was Marvin Gaye's 'Got to Give It Up.' I was like, 'Damn, we should make something like that, something with that groove." 

However, the lawsuit claims that the songs are different enough to be considered separate compositions and to award this case to Gaye's family would give them claim to a vibe or entire genre.

"Gaye defendants are claiming ownership of an entire genre, as opposed to a specific work, claims the suit, adding that "being reminiscent of a 'sound' is not copyright infringement. The intent in producing 'Blurred Lines' was to evoke an era."
