[valet]

Crazy thing is I always thought he bit Lecrae

 

[Calmye]

So he's saying the same thing I said

Hiphop is built on sampling fam. You have zero clue the relationship between this artist and Donald Glover

do you not understand the difference between sampling and biting a whole song?

 

[KRiLL (+)]

Apart from the subject matter, 'Me and My Girlfriend' and 'I Gave You Power' have nothing in common

'Pac didn't rip off Nas' cadence, beat, lyrics, melody, nothing

'This is America' did all those things with the song linked in the OP apart from lyrics

I don't think it's that deep, you nikkas get worked up over the dumbest shyt.. even the artist is like whatever yet you got mfers in her butthurt for another nikka who chalked it up...

He said that...just like Dram but you know they like fukk that nikka

everything is based on something that came before

it's just about how easy it is to find the links

in this case it is clear as day

He didn't bite the whole song. He was influenced by it. But like I said we don't know the relationship Donald Glover has to the people who made the song. The producer of this track could have played the song to Donald Glover and helped him build this is America. We just don't know. Why is it every one has to be some uncreative leech.

No ideas original. The 2 songs are in the same pocket but gambino’s is siginificantly better

Why

I really don't care for 'This is America', I'm stating facts about 'Me and My Girlfriend' vs. 'I Gave You Power'

Chill with the tough talk

 

[BLΔCK⁂W⊙LF]

This song is much, much better than Glover's. The beat is even better.

 

[NAUGHTY]

This nikka legit bit tf outta that song. From the cadence, the beat, even the damn subject matter of the song. And the irony of the original artist being named American Pharoah. Shark nikkas

 

[panopticon]

This is America...

Nikkas get bit every day, B

On the real tho, Donald better do right by him
A decent check, introductions to Donald's industry connections and a free feature would be fair.

I agree with the sampling part, but give credit where it's due. The Twitter posts in here show that the dude is grateful for the exposure but if he wasn't paid, that's kinda bullshyt IMO

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

BREH!. This track actually slams.
