Let me explain to you why Gambino is a genius, and this plagiarism is in fact an extra layer of depth to “This Is America”,..

lol indeed :p
If you told me their new album was trash I wouldn’t argue with you one bit. With JMT it is what it is. After nine albums you either like them or you don’t and their new poo poo definitely won’t change your mind. Vinnie paz is far from the greatest rapper but after nine albums there is no one man better suited for rapping over a stoupe beat than the paz man himself

Agreed.

New album is enjoyable if you're into that sort of thing. One of the better ones for sure. Vinnie Paz also keeps evolving and improving over the years too.

Not everyone's cup of tea for sure. Not stuff I'm gonna make any friends listen to in my car.

I did have to trim the hooks to get them to line up that perfectly, but other wise it's the same key, same vibe and only 2 bpm different. I honestly didn't expect that it'd only mean dropping a few measures in the right spots.

I have actual skeletons in my closet
the dude could easily sue and win like a lottery's worth of money. the two song are drat near identical and there have been many suits that sides with the plaintiff for less (blurred lines, shape of you). i honestly think donald bought the song and credit, like most stars do. but he didn't know he bought something stolen so he's hosed either way. too many people are stealing credit/songs anyway.

the jase dudes seems cool about it and that's sad. his whole song was bit but he gotta be cool so people don't call him hater. i can imagine the pressure small artists get to let the bigger ones slide.

Donald Glover and Ludwig Goransson are the only credited writers on the song and the original artist said that he had no contact with Donald, meaning that either Donald had an uncredited ghostwriter who stole this song without telling anyone or that Donald directly plagiarized the song himself and thought no one would notice

The original artist is being absurdly chill considering a famous celebrity just stole his song and turned it into one of the most successful and acclaimed songs of the year. He at least deserves a writing credit and royalties from Glover and would have a good shot at suing for it in court, too.

I think it's a coincidence, most of the really similar parts are the atonal parts and it's easy enough to accidentally copy someone with stuff with actual chords and a key. The similarity definitely is eerie though. And yeah I think Pharaoh may be a better song than TIA too

Kanye loving hoodwinked us basically and everyone thinks he's a loving genius.

Daytona came out great in retrospect but I'm super curious to see the original versions of all the albums. Kanye had a manic episode and proved he can poo poo out literally anything and people will buy it.

From all accounts he took his time on everybody else's stuff, from what I see only for his album he did this dumb poo poo.

I'm not sure Teyana needed him at all, he didn't even have Nas's Album mixed at "release" and played so many games with Pusha's album it's crazy.

That and the 7 album stuff is honest to god robbery of content for no good reason. Would any of these albums REALLY be terrible as a 10 song album?

I'm a Pusha T stan and ffs it's gonna be a while before we get another album and he has at least another album's worth of content which because of the Kanye "vision" will probably not see the light of day

The end of the Good Music rollout looks pretty lovely overall, all things considered
