U.S. District Court judge William H. Pauley III determined that the usage of the clip was covered under fair use, reports Pitchfork. The line for Smith's song goes, 'Jazz is the only real music that's gonna last. All that other bull�- is here today and gone tomorrow. But jazz was, is and always will be."
The Drake version cut down the words to include, 'Only real music's gonna last. All that other bull�- is here today and gone tomorrow." Judge Pauley explained that Smith's phrase 'is an unequivocal statement on the primacy of jazz over all other forms of popular music," while Drake's edit turns it into 'a statement that 'real music,' with no qualifiers, is 'the only thing that's gonna last.'"
The official ruling: "The full extent of the commentary is, in this Court's view, that many musicians make records in similar ways (e.g. with the help of A&R experts or the stimulating effects of champagne), but that only 'real" music--regardless of creative process or genre--will stand the test of time. Accordingly, this factor favors a finding of fair use." Read more and listen to both songs

"People of my age have let themselves go, they're fat, balding idiots with fading tattoos. They sit in their garage and write s� like 'Sign of the Times' for Harry Styles. Which, quite frankly, my cat could have written in about 10 minutes!" Noel said.
"I don't mind the song, my wife was falling over herself, 'Have you heard Harry Styles' new song? It's like Prince', I was like, 'Without even hearing it, I can assure you it's not like Prince!'" Read more

Songwriter/producer Michael James Ryan Busbee (better known as just busbee) co-wrote the tune with Ryan Hurd and Hillary Lindsey ('Blue Ain't Your Color," 'Dirty Laundry" ).
It was inspired by a '90s Night party at Nashville's Basement East, where Brothers Osborne, Lucie Silvas, Cassadee Pope and Hurd's singer-songwriter girlfriend, Morris, sang a set of 20-year-old pop covers.
"As one of my friends so eloquently put it, she said, 'I feel like I sit with Ryan and write love songs about Maren, and I feel like I sit with Maren and write love songs about Ryan.' So we're writing about Maren, of course, because that's his love interest," he continued. Read more

"Hey there, Mr. Tin Man / You don't know how lucky you are / I've been on the road that you're on / It didn't get me very far / You ain't missing nothin' / 'Cause love is so d� hard / Take it from me darlin' / You don't want a heart" Watch the video

I didn't mean to make you cry!'"

The film will feature music prominently. "There's a LOT of music in it," Wright told Nerdist. "Ansel [Elgort]'s character is playing music the entire time. So it's taking things that are in Scorsese or Tarantino or Soderbergh films-and in those films you have the jukebox kind of soundtrack-and the idea with this is that the lead character is actually playing those songs. So the songs are always sourced. They're either in his ears or playing in a diner or playing on a stereo, so they're always within the scenes."
The soundtrack features an eclectic mix of artists including Beck, Queen, The Beach Boys, Kid Koala and Barry White, just to name a few. Baby Driver arrives in theaters on June 28. Check out the trailer
