This is a synthetic sample. Yea, they didn’t borrow anything directly from Aaliyah but they recreated her song using sounds that are closely similar.
Say you don't know what sampling means without saying you don't know what sampling means brehs
That is the point of sampling. Creating a different song. You can clearly hear the drum pattern sampled and a few chord progressions
fukk Aaliyahs uncle![]()
Aaliyah uncle would have been more “honorable” if he didn’t pimp her out to R.Kelly
Yea I can most definitely see that they bit. Songs trash too btw
Is this the piece of shyt blocking her music from streaming apps?
Here's the thing: The Blurred Lines lawsuit was largely decided on a sheet music comparison between it and "Got To Give It Up."
In fact, the Gaye family wasn't allowed to play the actual "Got To Give It Up" recording at trial because it included too many unprotected elements, including the percussion/beat.
"The Gaye estate lawyers later claimed that testimony on Thicke’s side had “poisoned perhaps irreparably” the jury, according to The Hollywood Reporter. While Thicke was able to perform the songs, the Gayes were not allowed to play the recorded version of “Got to Give It Up” since the copyright they were defending applied to sheet music. The judge claimed that Gaye’s voice, the version’s backup vocals and some of the percussion – all of which are not covered by copyright – could sway the jury; eventually, they were allowed to play a stripped-down version of the tune."

Had to give it a listen myself. Yeah that drum pattern and baseline has 98% of One In A Million’s DNA in it. Timbo would definitely recognize it within 5 seconds of playing the song.
this man knows what he’s talking about. You either work in publishing or are an attorney lol
