Will.I.Am “borrows” MatZo & Arty track...

[Jhamilton831]

I don't mind pitbull sampling older songs, it isn't like what Will.I.Am did. I am still not a big fan of pitbull though, except for back in time...it had some cool parts in the song.

Actually, this is the original source of the sample.... unfortunately I'm old enough to remember the original

Sampling is nice when you give permission, but not in will.i.am's style. There are 5 or 6 songs which were stolen:

-thatPower = Arty - Kate
-Let's Go = Arty & Mat Zo - Rebound
-Bang Bang = Sandro Silva & Quintino - Epic
-Great Times are Coming = Deniz Koyu - Tung and even a little bit Baauer - Harlem Shake
-Scream & Shout = Basto! - I Rave You
-Good Morning = High Highs - Flowers Bloom

Also I don't understand why is he stealing... I heard This Is Love and I liked it, and (I think xD) it's an original track! Just so mainstream... I used to like the Black Eyed Peas...

The way I see it... is that Will.I.Am doesn't care that he stole it. His fans are all pop fans and they don't care if he stole it... and the underground/edm fans who DO care that he stole it prolly never liked him anyways (except for a few obv). So why should he care? hes not losing fans.. most people who cared prolly weren't fans to begin with (with the exception like i said).

His job is to sell records... which he does... really really well.. in a shitty, grimy kind of way i guess = /

Jeez its just sampling. What next? Will someone say looping is too repetitive.

Check this youtube video which plays several loops from daft punk and then the original source material.



Some 'artists' seem not to care what how transparent their inspiration is. Whether or not this is wrong remains entirely subjective.

Not true, and Basto actually produced the song for Will.I.Am, hence the similarity. Also, he received credit for his work.

Still doesn't justify the rest though. To be fair, if we haven't seen the album notes, we can't see if he gave credit where it is due.
