Ebony Latrice Batts (a.k.a. Pheonix Phenom) and Manfred Mohr have filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Black Eyed Peas. Not a shocker, really, since this is happened a bunch of times before.
The members of Groundation accused the BEPs of stealing from them in their 2006 recording of "Voodoo Doll" and, more recently, the BEPs settled a lawsuit filed against them by Adam Freeland for copyright infringement agaisnt his song "Mancry" which somehow ended up in "Party All The Time."

Batts' and Mohr's attorney stated that “[His] clients submitted their copyrighted song “Boom Dynamite” to Interscope Records after Interscope had shown interest in some of their music, and the Black Eyed Peas later copied the song when they wrote “Boom Boom Pow.” A simple listening of the two songs will tell you that the songs are substantially similar, and that the hooks of the two songs are virtually identical in rhythm and lyrics.” They do sound a lot a like...have a look-see.
Maybe the Black Eyed Peas should start being more careful. Or, you know, more original.
