What I remember of this story is that Let The Beat Rock was a collab between Alex, BEP, 50 Cent and possibly some more they made for fun. Then BEP took the song and released it under their own as Boom Boom Pow name without crediting the others and made millions.

If I've totally misunderstood this story please let me know :P

err if i remember correctly alex was contacted by BEP's people asking him if he would do a remix of boom boom pow, he said he was busy but he had a half-finished track/idea which he sent on. lo and behold the finished track surfaced with little changes made bar the vocal content (though will i am does reference boys noize) and when alex asks what's up re payment he's told "you're part of the fam now, we won't pay you but we can work together in future to make muchos dollar bills"

this was all in a myspace blog post from alex himself which was subsequently taken down so if i should do the same - or if i've left anything out - let me know

Well then I stand corrected :)
