Melvin Charles Bradford, professionally known as Mel-Man, is an American West Coast hip hop record producer and songwriter from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Signed with Aftermath Entertainment, he is best known for his work with Dr. Dre, producing songs for the likes of Eminem, Xzibit, Truth Hurts, The Firm, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg.
A man named Michael Lowe filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Xzibit, Dr. Dre and Bradford about the song "X".
In 2002, French jazz pianist Jacques Loussier filed a $10 million lawsuit that was later settled out of court. The lawsuit claimed the beat for the Eminem track "Kill You" was stolen from his song "Pulsion".
