I'm not exactly all the way engulfed in the rap game, however this track (produced by Lil Lody) is a total bite. Am I right? Is this acceptable to steal the riff of a track not even 5 years old and re-hash it? This isn't like Mac Miller dropping 5th Ave sampling a classic. This is a bite, in my opinion. Lazy.
Some think that middle Jonas Brother Joe Jonas 's new video is much like low-budget indie drama "For Lovers Only" that it could even lead to legal action, according to the TheWrap. A enterprising video editior has even put footage of the two projects side by side. WATCH, VOTE & COMMENT Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.
This was left as a comment on the post we wrote yesterday discussing the matter that Italian electronic duo Supernova were accused of illegally and egregiously utilizing a sample from Kevin Saunderson (as Reese & Santonio called "The Sound") for their song "Beat Me Back", but it deserved its own full post just because. We [...]
Detroit legend and all around amazing person Kevin Saunderson is heated. You see, way back in 1987, he released on his own KMS Records imprint a track called "The Sound", one of the first worldwide Detroit techno songs to take off. And recently, Mr. Saunderson has found that there is a duo of Italians called [...]

So the crime has been committed... i don't know where to start, but to bring this to your attention.. It took me almost 10 minutes to put together the pieces to actually comprehend if this was a joke/stunt/gimmick. Surely not. WTF. WILL.I.AM jipped Boys noize.. sure they did collabs in the past. But this.. is unacceptable. If there is one word.. This guy is a complete Douchebag , you cannot just take a song, put basic lyric and call it an original vs Boys noize [...]

Alle har vel opplevd det. Du hører en låt og tenker: Denne har jeg hørt før! Men, det er da ikke de som har denne? Rip-off, kalles det. Stjeling er et annet ord. Et band rapper altså et refreng, riff, melodi eller tekstlinje fra et annet band og gjør det til "sitt eget". Her har du noen av de mest kjente tyveriene: Monster Magnet - " Crop Circle" vs. Kvelertak - "Mjød" Refrenget på førstesporet "Crop Circle" fra '99-utgivelsen Powertrip er klin likt [...]
Everyone hates Ticketmaster. They overcharge for what amounts to a pretty useless service in this day and age. Yet, somehow, the behemoth won't go away . Consumers hate them, consumers tolerate them, but do consumers secretly need them? On June 3, employees of the iconic alt-rock band the Pixies gathered outside the Troxy theater in London for an experiment. Armed with five iPhones and customized barcode-scanning software, they spent two hours selling admission to nearly 3,000 fans who had learned of a surprise concert through word of mouth or email. The Pixies [...]

Madonna , David Bowie , Grace Jones , even Ace of Base … add Conan Soranno to the list of people Lady Gaga 's ripped off. Friend of the Ümlaut Conan , and photographer behind Addicted Image , posted this interesting side-by-side of a photo he shot three years ago and a recent Gaga pic that's making the rounds . Between the can curlers and studded leather bedazzlements, the case is clear. To be fair, Lady Gaga [...]

As promised, here´s some more on We Never Learn , New Bomb Turks singer Eric Davidson´s recent book on the punky garage bands that ruled the indie roost from ´88 to ´01. A very loose underground scene, with bands sharing stages and labels who were musically as far apart from each other as the Dwarves from Man Or Astroman or Dead Moon from Rocket From The Crypt. And also a scene which incidentally paved the way for the unlikely success of the White Stripes. Buy it if you missed this drunk, [...]

The world's fave geobanning video sharing system shamelessly ripped off the most brilliant idea we seen in ages. Above you can se the promo video of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 's Internet Symphony and if you not lived in a cage without wi-fi you've seen Kutiman's amazing Thru You . Yes, the unique idea of editing different people's music videos into one new compostition, nice isn't it? Do we have to say more? And please note, Kutiman researched, invested time and energy to find the footages, while the YouTube got the Symphony [...]

The only way that the dudes in The American Dream Team know how to send a congratulatory pat on the back for the newly minted President of These United States (name change pending) is, of course, a fresh new remix and a fresh party. The treatment, of Trouble Andrew 's "Chase Money" is full of the familiar whamp you'd expect from these Brooklyn-bred turf kings. Catch them this Friday, January 23, at the Inauguration afterparty in Washington, DC for The RipOFF party (located on the 2nd floor of the Rock & Roll Hotel). [...]

Yet ANOTHER story coming out now exposes MORE arrogance, hubris, and greed: Auto Executives flew in PRIVATE JETS to Washington to ask US to give them money! From CNN : Big Three auto CEOs flew private jets to ask for taxpayer money (CNN) -- Some lawmakers lashed out at the CEOs of the Big Three auto companies Wednesday for flying private jets to Washington to request taxpayer bailout money.

I saw some pretty disturbing news the other night on TV that pissed me off: AIG executives going to expensive conferences while people across the US are losing their homes and their jobs. We should all be pissed and disgusted! They should KNOW BETTER! You don't ask the taxpayers (via the Government) to save your ass and then continue to enjoy the perks. You don't run your business into the ground and act like you're the privileged few! Once again, it's corporate greed and arrogance on full display. Check it [...]
