kinda true but the difference is that Luther was bodying most of the originals while Jaquees is

 

[Easy-E]

Saw on Twitter, but, c'mon nah

Luther was a master vocalist, not some copycat with zero legacy

 

[Dipsey Doo]

This ain’t it

Covering songs was not uncommon back then, and it wasn't like he was covering unreleased shyt or unknown shyt.
He also wrote songs, and made songs that other people covered.

Exactly. Whitney Houston’s biggest song is a cover.

 

[Amo Husserl]

Luther had you forgetting who did the original after a while. Don't let this be the hill to die on.

 

[Nabs]

Luther's voice

 

[O.G.B]

At least Luther has other hit songs that he wrote himself.
Plus Luther never had to ride another singer/artist wave by stealing their original music to make "cover songs" without the singer/artist consent.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Luther did them better

This, Luther Bandross versions of those songs were better

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Breh everybody did this. In fact you’d have a nikka cover your song on his own album like 4 months after you released yours

 

[Nagarjuna]

Nah, them Luther songs

They made it a hot line, he made it a hot song


Also, Jacquees is talented but his name in the same sentence as Luther is damn near blasphemy
