Hip hop will float by as it always has with sampling, endorsements, back deals. High profile cases will be slapped but illegal, y que.

Hip hop constantly gets slapped around by sampling cases when there's money to be made (e.g. not mixtapes). Timbaland alone has around half a dozen. Even Frank Ocean got an earful from The Eagles.
