The Beatnuts - A Musical Massacre

On August 10, 1999, the duo The Beatnuts released A Musical Massacre, their 3rd album. In 2002, Jennifer Lopez released "Jenny from the Block", a single that allegedly stole the Beatnuts sample of "Hi-Jack" from Enoch Light which became Watch Out Now.

The Beatnuts expressed their displeasure with Lopez and his producers on the 2004 song "Confused Rappers" as well as through various interviews.
