Drake and Chris Brown are asking a judge to toss out a copyright lawsuit claiming they stole the phrase 'you got it,' in the hook of 'No Guidance,' from an earlier song
But in a motion to dismiss the case filed Tuesday, attorneys for Drake and Chris Brown said that lyrical phrase was clearly too simple and commonplace to be covered by copyright law.
“No Guidance,” released on June 8, 2019 off Brown’s ninth studio album Indigo featuring vocals from Drake, spent 46 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 5 in October 2019. It was also nominated for Best R&B Song at the 62nd Grammy Awards. “Any comparative analysis of the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic structure, metrical placement, and narrative context demonstrates that No Guidance was copied or principally derived from I Love Your Dress,” the pair wrote.
“The Court can hear for itself that the total concept and feel of the songs is vastly different,” Sammataro wrote the pair. “Plaintiffs’ song is a slow, R&B love ballad about the writer’s wife featuring one vocalist and relatively few lyrics In sharp contrast, ‘No Guidance’; is a faster, longer, and sexually explicit rap and R&B song about a new romantic interest.”
