using examples like house of the rising sun to show that artists influence each other, and That, is the object of music themselves is a beyond dated idea.
A whole 80 years later, things have changed into something new altogether. In the recording age this is biting 101. Its not the same as passing a song down into generations for love. This is for financial gain so no it is not the same.
Im sorry. This is totally different imo and you cant use the past to justify what is happening today. They dont even do covers anymore like that. People with no musical ability whatsoever are being called genius for their ability to steal. People who couldnt even play a phrase perfect let alone a song are now able to pass off shyt as their own due to technology.
This is a song that was broke down top to bottlm woth no credit given. If they broke him off. Cool. They shoulda. But the way yall justifying this, but hate drake for paying writers like this to help him write...
Yea that dont correlate with me. Sorry. Even in hip hop, known for sampling straight songs, they give credit. We kne biggies BIG interlude was PSK... now they try to hide that... thats wrong. Thats not the same as influence. This is straight biting. This isnt guys replaying their favorites... its mining artists for ideas and not giving credit. NOPE
