3011118, Songs that are basically the same song. Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Sun Nov-04-18 08:58 AM Am I bugging or is Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately" and Jody Watley's "Looking For A New Love" the same damn song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9uizdKZAGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQL-B3PNkeI Or how about The Pointer Sisters Automatic and El Debarges's Rhythm Of The Night? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDU6K02igoU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAQSZhazYk8 ********** "Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face.

3011120, Automatic and Rhythm of the night are different Posted by c71, Sun Nov-04-18 09:25 AM Automatic has a more haunting feeling. Rhythm is cheery. Automatic has a more rhythmic snap while Rhythm of the night is more flowing. Van McCoy "Do the hustle" and Barry White "can't get enough of your love baby" Isley's "choosey lover" EWF "devotion" some have said Cheryl Lynn "to be real" The Emotions "best of my love" Ohio Players "skin tight" the Commodores "brick house"
3011121, Yarborough and Peoples "don't stop the music" Posted by c71, Sun Nov-04-18 09:33 AM The SOS band "just be good to me"
3011388, SOS Band- Just Be Good To Me, Borrowed Love, Just The Way You Like It Posted by OKdamn, Sun Nov-11-18 08:09 AM All sound like the same song
3011122, Billy Paul "me and Mrs. Jones" Posted by c71, Sun Nov-04-18 09:34 AM The Fifth Dimension "one less bell to answer"

3011596, WOW Posted by BSharp, Sat Nov-17-18 11:49 AM lol
3011124, Devotion and Choosy Lover Posted by Teknontheou, Sun Nov-04-18 09:39 AM This one has always been super blatant. I can't figure out if maybe Maurice/Verdeen/Philip had something to do with the Isley song, or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pWK2IXV8Mo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiKvuO2RqTI

3011156, Al B Sure, "Right Now" and Tevin Campbell's "Alone With You" Posted by Marbles, Mon Nov-05-18 10:18 AM I'm pretty sure they both tell Kyle West to break it down somewhere in these songs. Al - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JomiOgitarM Tevin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkoahVGtKHg
3011565, Add Usher's "The Many Ways" Posted by ramaj1, Thu Nov-15-18 11:41 PM Another Al B/Kyle West production with the same chord and similar hook.
3011163, Schoolboy Q-"That Part feat. Kanye West " and Posted by stone_phalanges, Mon Nov-05-18 10:52 AM Cyhi The Prince-"Dat Side feat. Kanye West" It always makes me laugh when I hear the Cyhi joint.

3011200, Definitely Posted by Call It Anything, Mon Nov-05-18 06:52 PM Although worth noting that "My Prerogative" bit the melody on the chorus from The Redding's "Remote Control" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gyLI0UxdY4
3011171, Rick Ross - MC Hammer and Rick Ross - BMF Posted by Oak27, Mon Nov-05-18 01:22 PM The best part is they are not only on the same album but are consecutive tracks.
3011302, LOL, yeah Posted by Dr Claw, Thu Nov-08-18 01:30 PM that was my favorite part of that album. how those 2 songs were placed together
3011172, Harold Melvin / Blue Notes "you know how to make me feel so good" Posted by c71, Mon Nov-05-18 01:27 PM William DeVaughn - "just be thankful for what you've got"
3011176, Alicia Keys vs. Bruno Mars Posted by aScribe, Mon Nov-05-18 02:18 PM "Doesn't Mean Anything" https://youtu.be/oLclkP9x_68 "Just The Way You Are" https://youtu.be/LjhCEhWiKXk If you lower the key of Bruno's song or raise the key of Alicia's, I think.
3011198, Shirley Caesar's "Christ Almighty" / Tyler The Creator's "Touch My Balls Posted by johnbook, Mon Nov-05-18 06:26 PM THE HOME OF BOOK-NESS: http://thisisbooksmusic.wordpress.com http://twitter.com/thisisjohnbook http://www.facebook.com/book1 http://i32.tinypic.com/kbewp4.gif http://i60.tinypic.com/a59mp3.jpg
3011199, This joint that Dre stole... Posted by spidey, Mon Nov-05-18 06:39 PM ..."MIA"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL8m9x6j4cg
3011273, Dre paid for the rights is what i heard Posted by justin_scott, Wed Nov-07-18 02:38 PM and no denying this came out first, but Dre's version is way better in every way.
3011276, It kind of makes the case for Dre being a great producer more than Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Nov-07-18 04:05 PM him being a biter. ********** "Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson "what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"
3011313, I'm a big fan of Dre's so I'm biased Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Thu Nov-08-18 07:15 PM But there's a reason why producers like Daz and others who claim Dr. Dre just bit their work haven't gone on to have the same level of success without him. Dre has a great ear and knew how to mine the beats or demos of other producers to create great music. There's something to be said for knowing what sounds great and turning that into a song, even if you didn't actually create the art yourself.
3011317, Agreed. And I think he did both, to be sure. Posted by Brew, Thu Nov-08-18 08:54 PM I'm also a HUGE Dre fan. He, Snoop and Cube were my intro to hip-hop when I was in 2nd grade so I'm hella biased as well haha. But I think Dre did both. He found samples himself/made beats himself, but also allowed other producers to bring him skeleton beats/samples and made them good as well. >RE: I'm a big fan of Dre's so I'm biased >But there's a reason why producers like Daz and others who >claim Dr. Dre just bit their work haven't gone on to have the >same level of success without him. > >Dre has a great ear and knew how to mine the beats or demos of >other producers to create great music.

3011318, Daz talking that shit has always disappointed me Posted by DJR, Thu Nov-08-18 09:50 PM Come on Daz, the best years of your career were when you were associated with Dre. And I like to think that Chronic-Doggystyle era crew is all cool with each other. They accomplished too much to say dumb shit 25 years later.
3011328, Has Daz said something recently ? Posted by Brew, Fri Nov-09-18 09:35 AM >RE: Daz talking that shit has always disappointed me >Come on Daz, the best years of your career were when you were >associated with Dre. > >And I like to think that Chronic-Doggystyle era crew is all >cool with each other. They accomplished too much to say dumb >shit 25 years later. I feel like there was a brief period in like the late 90s/early 00s when Daz was on that shit but haven't heard anything since.
3011626, that's Hitman's beat... Posted by PROMO, Sun Nov-18-18 05:20 PM but Dre did the production, if you get what I'm saying. some people, like Dr. Dre, aren't always the best beatmakers or making beats ain't their thing but they do have that magical ear that can take a good beat and turn into something great. that's Dre.
3011644, You mean Mel-Man. Posted by Brew, Mon Nov-19-18 09:57 AM
3011283, Did he have to ? Posted by Brew, Wed Nov-07-18 09:08 PM >RE: Dre paid for the rights is what i heard >and no denying this came out first, but Dre's version is way >better in every way. Wouldn't he just pay the artist for the original sample ? (Maybe that's what you meant). But yea - like you and Buddy already said, Dre's version is better by every objective measure.
3011268, lol, no Blurred Lines/Got to Give It Up ???? Posted by WarriorPoet415, Wed Nov-07-18 01:05 PM ______________________________________________________________________________ "To Each His Reach" but..... Fuck aliens.
3011598, Because those aren't basically the same song. Posted by BSharp, Sat Nov-17-18 11:51 AM
3031666, RE: lol, no Blurred Lines/Got to Give It Up ???? Posted by jffrsn, Wed Apr-07-21 09:47 PM I've always thought this song was the original swag stealer of Got to Give it Up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OwfGDbJ7wQ
3031668, I Still Think Pharrell Was Just Trying To Copy His Idol J-Dilla Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Wed Apr-07-21 11:41 PM ...after he heard J-Dilla's remix for Brand New Heavies' "Saturday Night", which is basically a cover of "Got's To Give It Up" anyways but I guess Pharrell thought taking a simplistic stripped down approach wouldn't trigger anybody thinking it's an interpolation of Marvin's song. https://youtu.be/YxJeUk5tSSM
3031670, Oh wow. Those are almost literally the same song lol. Posted by Brew, Thu Apr-08-21 10:32 AM Never heard that. Thanks for this.

3011757, Intro beat to Point O Viewz Posted by Anonymous, Wed Nov-21-18 01:15 PM Fuck that though... Born To Live Time’s Up Point O Viewz Is about as good as a 3 song stretch can get!
3037990, Wait the better producer is Evil Dee right? Posted by herbiehowsermc, Wed May-18-22 07:42 AM His version is 10x better than what Just Blaze did with it production wise. They both are good beats though for sure. Black Moon also released their version first although I don't blame Just Blaze because putting out records takes time and they both used the sample without knowing about the other version I'm sure.
3011303, Luther Vandross, 'Better Love' / Dayton, 'Promise Me' Posted by Dr Claw, Thu Nov-08-18 01:33 PM it's funny because the latter sounds like the former but there's a song with the same name on the same Luther album
3011307, Wow. That's Blatant. Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Thu Nov-08-18 03:26 PM ********** "Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson "what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

3011605, Also include Paris Guerilla Funk Posted by ry 213, Sat Nov-17-18 03:23 PM Nobody talks about that track and album today but he took Dre’s funk formula and ran with it!
3012963, Bruh... that entire 'Guerilla Funk' album was pro-black Death Row Posted by spenzalii, Wed Jan-02-19 03:25 PM I wasn't sure whether to enjoy it or accuse Paris of being lazy. I still banged that album heavy when it came out

3011460, Huh. Posted by Brew, Tue Nov-13-18 10:00 AM
3011467, Beat pattern, baseline Posted by Roadblock, Tue Nov-13-18 11:21 AM all very similar imo 1-9-9-9 is superior
3011468, Hm OK. I'll listen again but I've never noticed a single similarity ha. Posted by Brew, Tue Nov-13-18 11:29 AM And if I have to dig/listen that hard to hear it (I love both songs, have listened to both countless times) then I'm thinking it doesn't really fit the criteria presented in the OP. In other words the similarities should immediately jump out at you. These two songs don't do that IMO. But I guess since it's 1:1 we should let others chime in. But yes - 1-9-9-9 is the far superior song. It's one of my all-timers in fact.
3011559, Meant to check back in on this - IMO it's a reach but ... Posted by Brew, Thu Nov-15-18 10:30 PM I can kinda see what you mean about the bassline.

3011763, That was on purpose from my understanding. Posted by The Wordsmith, Wed Nov-21-18 03:43 PM Angela wanted to show that she was the one behind "Your Smile" in the first place when she did "Angel." Since 1976

It's funny because I was just thinking about that song the other day. But I had never heard the Carrie Lucas song. So I gave it a spin. I was real skeptical during that intro but once the hook came in, it hit me over the head. That's crazy, man.

3011734, Oh wow. That's blatant. By the way "The Renaissance" is beautiful. Posted by Brew, Tue Nov-20-18 10:55 PM What an incredible piece of art that album is. Tip really put his all into that joint. Such an amazing, consistent listen. Haven't listened front to back in a while, just stray tracks. But for a solid 2+ years this album was in full rotation. May have to pop it in tomorrow. Album meant the world to me back when it came out. Couldn't stop listening to it.
3011739, it really is amazing... Posted by Dstl1, Wed Nov-21-18 07:35 AM I don't.skip.one.track...not one.
3011741, RE: Oh wow. That's blatant. By the way "The Renaissance" is beautiful. Posted by BlakStaar, Wed Nov-21-18 08:01 AM Agreed but did Tip bite the LP or is it just a coincidence?
3011744, Looks to be the other way around, no ? Posted by Brew, Wed Nov-21-18 10:31 AM >Agreed but did Tip bite the LP or is it just a coincidence? The LP was released in 2009, The Renaissance in 2008.
3011746, RE: Looks to be the other way around, no ? Posted by BlakStaar, Wed Nov-21-18 10:43 AM The LP album was shelved, then self-released in 2002. It’s “official” release was in 2009. Apparently, Geffen was supposed to release this in 1996?!, if Wiki is accurate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_LP
3011747, RE: Looks to be the other way around, no ? Posted by BlakStaar, Wed Nov-21-18 10:48 AM Actually, I take back my comment about the biting because I don’t know. The Large Professor song wasn’t on the earlier version of his shelved album.. The official version has more tracks, including the song that sounds like Tip’s.
3011752, Word thanks for looking into it. Posted by Brew, Wed Nov-21-18 12:05 PM I didn't know for sure I just saw the release dates and responded. Had no idea the album had been shelved. But yea if the title track wasn't on the original shelved album then I'd agree that it was Large Pro "biting" Tip and not the other way around. It's a great beat tho so I kinda can't blame him for wanting to emulate it haha.
3011753, they're friends, no? Just wondering... Posted by Dstl1, Wed Nov-21-18 12:16 PM maybe they were kicking around some beats and thought the other wasn't gonna use it, lol. It definitely sounds like a LP beat, IMO.
3011754, Oh I'm sure they are. Posted by Brew, Wed Nov-21-18 12:25 PM They're similar beats but also a little different. So yea maybe they had an understanding, or whatever. I'd never heard of it before now and I'm a huge Tip fan. And I'd have to assume both are aware of it but maybe just don't care haha.
3012965, If I remember correctly, Large Pro did it first Posted by spenzalii, Wed Jan-02-19 03:39 PM I got a copy of the '02 release and I'm positive "The LP" was on there, because I've been bumping that track for years. Wouldn't be surprised if there were bootlegs or white labels that had different track listings, but I am sure I heard his version long before Q-Top dropped his album
3012966, you're correct. 'The LP' (song) was on that '02 Hip-Hop Site release Posted by Dr Claw, Wed Jan-02-19 03:54 PM and also the bootleg version of the same album, before the 2009 version came out
3032084, I think it was out before then too. I remember the song was on mix tapes Posted by stattic, Fri Apr-23-21 01:37 PM and Stretch and Bobbito used to play it...at least that's what I remember
3011958, Wham - Careless Whisper/ Debbie Gibson - Foolish Beat Posted by bski, Tue Nov-27-18 06:40 PM This was so egregious. They don't sound the same but Debbie Lifted his whole concept, from the sad sax intro to the "I'll never ____ again, the way I ______d with you" chorus to the title of the song coming from a line in the second verse.

3013411, i mean he sampled it but oddly enough i have to disagree Posted by mista k5, Thu Jan-24-19 06:24 PM doesnt sound like the same song to me if that can make sense of a song that sampled another. he did his own thing with it. not like eazy or pac that just covered it basically. to be honest, i really only listened to redbone when it was on the radio or someone else was playing it. so i might not be familiar enough with it.

3024389, Mariah Carey and Lisa Shaw Posted by Mello, Thu May-07-20 01:19 PM Mariah’s “Say Something” and Lisa Shaw’s “Cherry” are eerily similar. Same percussion and synths, a little different melody but one definitely seems inspired by the other. Not sure which one came out first but I can see Pharrell listening to and being inspired by Naked Music/Jay Denes.
3024837, Yo, I always thought both songs sounded eeirly similar! Posted by ramaj1, Fri May-29-20 12:47 AM And it most likely is Pharrell replicating a vibe like he often does ...he's very derivative.
