Good. Fuck that song.

This topic came up maybe a yr ago and niggas was debating me on whether or not he stole that song.

Somebody damn sure stole that song from that dude.

 

[SeaSnake]

Good. Fuck that song.

Lol why

 

[already home_17]

i could’ve sworn there was another song this is america “sampled” but i can’t remember the name. i initially thought this lawsuit was related to that song

 

[Pachá12]

Lol why

I thought the song was overrated. Never liked the video. Didnt care if it was for visuals, I didnt like him "killing" other black people for a song that I thought either didnt have a msg or was a misinformed msg by the Chameleon Gambino.

Plus I saw the video of the Plantiff when he brought it up a couple yrs ago.

Nah

These recycled flows get used by everyone

yeah I thought it was this dude,who obviously got jacked

That other song don't sound like This is America really to me,but I only listened to the beginning.

Jase Harley is the guy who first said this and his song sounds just like Childish's

 

[Loch121]

Nah

The other song by the Jase Harley guy they say he got that shit from is pretty undeniable.

It's more than just a flow,it's the beat and a very specific flow and subject matter.

 

[Pachá12]

Bru was out here copy and pasting songs to get a hit

 

[Loch121]

Never knew or forgot Young Thug was on This Is America

Now all I can hear is Thugger in the background

 

[Loch121]

After listening to this current guys case I can kinda hear what he's saying because the song title is similar and the flow and subject matter are kinda similar, but it's vague.

Could be a situation where the prod jacked it and gave Gambino the flow pattern and or hook with the beat.

Plus I saw the video of the Plantiff when he brought it up a couple yrs ago.

This is whole other dude from back then.

So he "stole" his flow? I didn't know a flow was a copyright-able

Song is overrated but the video is awesome

No,you can't,but the beat and concept and words can be.

You probably right

I really don't care either way. CG product was the best of the 3. If he gotta pay he gotta pay

I could see how somebody else wouldn't care,but as a nigga who had shit stolen this kinda shit aggravates me.

Big artists steal shit from lesser known artists and don't give them shit all the time and the lesser known artist looks like a mad man trying to prove some major star stole his/her shit.

It's like being the protagonist in a horror movie trying to convince ppl that the monster is real.

CB should have a the "best" song with major label backing and music insiders helping craft it.

very much alike
