Jay Z tells jury he believes he has license for Egyptian music used in his hit “Big Pimpin’ “
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Jay Z told a jury Wednesday that he believes he has a valid license to use Arabic music featured on his 1999 hit “Big Pimpin'” that is now the subject of a copyright infringement trial.
The rap superstar spent roughly 90 minutes testifying in a federal courtroom Wednesday, recounting his life, his successes and the creative process that led him and music producer Timbaland to create “Big Pimpin’,” which was his first major hit single.
Jay Z and Timbaland are being sued by an heir of Baligh Hamdi, an Egyptian composer who created the 1957 hit “Khosara Khosara” that has elements featured in the rapper’s hit.
The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, used one of his old CDs — introduced into evidence by a lawyer for Hamdi’s family — to illustrate his point.
“We have the rights as you can see on the bottom of the CD,” Carter told jurors, referencing liner notes that credits “Khosara Khosara.”
The rapper mixed his testimony with no-nonsense, one-word answers, humility about his success and humorous moments.

Jay Z attends start of copyright infringement trial over 1999 hit “Big Pimpin’ “
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A copyright infringement trial over Jay Z’s hit song “Big Pimpin’ ” opened Tuesday with an attorney for heirs of an Egyptian composer accusing the rapper of misusing music from a popular 1950s love ballad.
Jay Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, listened as a lawyer for the heirs of Egyptian composer Baligh Hamdi accused him and Timbaland of violating rights to Hamdi’s 1957 hit, “Khosara Khosara” to create “Big Pimpin.’ “
Attorney Pete Ross accused Carter of lacing vulgar lyrics over Hamdi’s beautiful melody without receiving the proper permission. Carter’s lyrics however aren’t at issue in the case, and lawyers for Carter and Timbaland say they secured the appropriate rights to feature “Khosara Khosara” on “Big Pimpin’.”
Timbaland, whose real name is Timothy Mosely, also attended the opening of the trial. His attorney, Christine Lepera, told jurors that he initially used elements of Hamdi’s work thinking it was royalty-free, but he later secured the appropriate rights.
Ross disputes that statement, and he accused the men of violating
