Eminem and Busta Rhymes Accused of 'Beat Theft'

. (Radio.com) The first thing you should think of when you hear Eminem and Busta Rhymes' new track, "Calm Down," is House of Pain; or perhaps "Harlem Shuffle"; the song is built on the original's horn intro used prominently in House of Pain's "Jump Around," and before the end, the guys are yelling "Jump Around" in honor of the '90s hip-hop group.
