Daft Punk is one of those early 90’s electro/french house groups that were influenced by black house, disco, and funk musicians. so it makes sense.

When members of Daft Punk were operating on the name Stardust, they created one of the most iconic house tunes.



But the whole sound was Chaka Khans.

Breh they're a House group....a DISCO House group at that. That's like saying Eminem jacked black folks. It's redundant. They have tons of open admiration for black dance music pioneers before them like Nile Rogers. Hell, Rogers after decades of not having a hit, got to experience that all over again and got paid hard thanks to Daft Punk. Leave them boys alone. They can sample whatever they want lol.

This why I never used that bullshyt ass term "EDM." More misappropriation. Call it House. Call it Techno. Call it Dub music. Call it Drum n Bass. Respect to the DJs that brought us this music and told us what it is. I never say "EDM." :scust:

They don’t hide it.

To be fair it’s sampling. It’s rather the fans and general society that should be informed. I never knew about Mandrake. Thanks for that.

So we mad at 2 cacs for sampling better than most producers nowadays got it.

You make it sound like these are the same exact song when its a little more complicated than that.

I'm just wondering what the outrage is about. Are coli nivcas not aware that House and Techno is black music? At no point were Daft Punk not open about their influences. I mean they couldnt deny it. In fact they'd often go straight to the source and work with living dance music legends like Roger. A black man did the vocals for "One More Time," the bands biggest hit and one of the greatest songs ever. And of course most of their songs were lifted from old funk and Disco records.

They have never hidden their admiration for black dance music and artists.

A lot of House music relies on 70s and 80s dance music sampling, no different than Hip Hop. I wouldn't call "Ain't Nuttin But A G Thang" a "straight rip" of "I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You." In fact I'd say G Thang is a superior song.

I like Daft Punk. I was a fan as a kid. I think they legit and I don't think they ever even tried to give people the impression that they are pioneers of what they were doing. Just a couple DJs really obsessed with the 1970s, and they payed much respect to OGs.

You make it sound like brehs are spitting mad when brehs are spitting facts.

Living in Europe you'll find a great number of cacs with an appreciation for black music. From British rock coming from blues records they got from black GIs all the way to now.

And I find Leon Haywood's version much superior.

I ain't gonna front tho, I do like to casually play "Cola Bottle Baby" off my old school playlist, like it's just another 70s jam I like, knowing it'll shock anyone that hears it.

"OH shyt....THIS THIS LIKE THE ORIGINAL?"

"Oh this old jam? Yeah one of my favorites. Whos Daft Punk?"
:lolbron:

Just something to be outraged over even though they credited the people they sampled from and paid them.

But they “spitting facts” like everybody doesn’t know by now daft punk sampled heavily :dead:
