it's actually my second favorite cut on the album

if it is a bite Pharrell and Timbo are equally responsible since they both produced it

but it's not on the level of "slave for u" and "nasty girl"
or "blurred lines" and "got to give it up"

i never quite understood ppl's problem with this.
genius artists steal ideas from other people.
i mean if we start copyrighting drum sounds, grooves,
chord progressions, and vibes of songs... there's no more art left period.

from "give it 2 me (just wanna love u)" to "beautiful" to that song with justin, snoop, and charlie wilson...it's a key part of what he does. i dunno why folks are so shocked now.

and yea...hearing "glow" right now i can understand what fire is saying. i don't think it's as close with this one. there's more syncopation on "blow" and, in all honesty, "blow" is actually funkier.

my guess is that pharell did the first part (sounds like
it could be a kelis song) and timbo did the cherry change up.

i agree that both parts of 'Blow' sound like they include nods to Rick James' style, i disagree that either song includes a jack or interpolation of any particular Rick James song. there's nothing to be upset about, IMO. i see the song as Yonce honoring Rick's music. and as you know, all great artists borrow from and honor artists that inspired them. to me that's all this is.

fuck you.

everybody that knows about music
knows he copies grooves.

but where would it end?

do we chastise MJ for taking his "whoo!" from stevie?
or swiping the groove for billie jean from hall and oats?
or various dance shillouettes from bob fosse?
or the moonwalk and the robot from b-boys?

every innovator jacks shit.
every. single. one.

all the great artists are part of a continuum,
all the legends are standing on the shoulders of giants.
most of them would tell you that themselves.

You draw on your reservoir of art you been expose to and you try to repurpose it into something new.

Bad art is very derivative and doesn't build on the older work.

Music is better off having all three of these songs in the world.

For the beats on In My Mind. Slave for You is clearly Prince inspired, Let's Get Blown is Slave inspired. That new song that the guy from Franz Ferdinand was fussing about is James Brown inspired. This is what Pharrell does. I thought it was just seen as a standard operating procedure for him at this point.
