Did Donald Glover plagiarize "This is America"?

[Formerly Black Trash]

Man they sound so much alike

I really believe these companies have software that steals music by searching the sounds of how an artist sounds and it doesn't help that unknown rappers and producers try to sound like what's hot making the process much easier.

You go to youtube hundreds of thousands "Kanye like beats"

Most people making music don't have documentation on anything making the songs even more "free"

This scares me because these spaces to make money creatively are truly limited because you have to be "chosen" many times

Probably peoples whose job it is to keep an ear out

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

E D D I E ! !

 

[Kingshango]

This song sounds better.

 

[El Bombi]

Damn people have no shame in jacking songs.

Donald Glover was probably like shyt if Bruno Mars can get away with then why can't I.

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

Bino should've broke bread...

this is basically Pac making "me & my girlfriend" after hearing Nas "I gave you power"

Both of them bit that concept from Organized Konfusions "Stray Bullet"

 

[Brady-Carter]

this why i fired earn.

 

[TillWeDie]

This is America...

Some of you don't understand what stealing a song is. Nobody is going to exactly copy a song but if its too similar, like this song is, DG can be sued.

Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines wasn't an Exact copy of Marvin Gaye's song but a court of law decided that you clearly used the melody without permission.

Reference gambino

 

[UWasntThere]

So... he was inspired by the song, what’s the big deal?

Drake got whole verses that nikkas already done spit who cares

We're basing copyright laws on Drake LLC now?

 

[Sauce Dab]

The hats on the intro of this is america even build into the same stuttering the snare does in american pharoah intro.

The outro to both songs are even similar.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

Whenever shyt like this comes up I always start to wonder just how much dope shyt like this is out there that goes largely unheard

There's A LOT of it on bandcamp breh

 

[Cadillac]

THIS THE SAME DAMN SONG

Yep ain't no "well TIA was built of this" nope this the same shyt

 

[Cadillac]
