EXPOSING THE FRAUDS: BRUNO MARS -UPTOWN FUNK (BREAKDOWN)

[Pazzy]

no idea's original. you only get in trouble if the idea is copyrighted by someone and the person that owns that copyright chooses to sue you.

 

[DaveyDave]

dude trying to say the Ed Sheeran song is stolen because they have the same chord progression & a similar drum pattern how many different ways can you play the drums for a love ballad breh? plus he pitches down again & fukks with Let's Get It On so people can hear the comparison

 

[Pool_Shark]

Ignorance is bliss

 

[DoubleClutch]

Good video. I always thought it strange how Bruno gets a pass for his obvious cultural appropriation while someone like iggy gets crucified for it. Bruno copys black music/style as much as she does and is also not black at all culturally or ethnically. He grew up Filipino or whatever and used to make mtv type pop music and now he's this Michael Jackson/James Brown wannabe



Bruno's a good performer though

But it's like he's just doing copy & paste black music or very good karaoke of old school hits

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Yeah, thought this was pretty damn obvious as soon as I heard this song. It's a blatant, lazy jack of good music that doesn't improve upon or switch up the OG versions at all. And if anyone actually knows music, they can hear this shyt off the bat. It's watered down, derivative garbage. Like watching a high school talent show or something. Mainstream culture is so despicable. Appreciate you taking the time to break this shyt down for those unfamiliar with all this music.

Yea a lot of folks hearing this for the first time will think its good because it sounds familiar but they dont have the context to know where it came from.

 

[PlainSight]

This is how pop music has been made for decades now. Some producers/songwriters/composers/arrangers are just smarter about the shyt they jack. And they usually take elements from multiple sources to make one hybrid whole. That's music, brehs

The other day, I heard someone lift a chord progression from some Dvorak piece but with synths. I bet most listeners wouldn't even know it was jacked, even though that shyt was years ago and was a classical piece.

It's INCREDIBLY difficult as a composer in the 21st century to come up with something that hasn't existed. Every chord progression, every phrasing, every arrangement, time signature, vocal melody etc. It's been done. All you can do is try and do something barely anyone does - and that ain't gonna guarantee you pop success. So you jack the shyt you know is gonna be popular. Case in point, the 4 chords of doom

 

[L&HH]

take 5 songs and make a super song. pretty much sums up all pop music hits.

You think mark ronson and bruno mars have enough soul in them to make a song like this. First time i heard it I knew it was Zapp & Roger and Morris Day & The Time blueprinting it

This case is really going to have nikkas thinking they've discovered the city of Atlantis on every song. You can do this with every song in the history of music. Even the songs he's citing as being stolen have elementes from other songs. Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones have admitted to lifting elements of other songs.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I know bytch ass nikkaz aint dissin Bruno and givin real culture vultures like timberlake a pass


Gtfoh

Everyone lifts, whether consciously or subconsciously but these are blatant rips that two dudes without an ounce soul or funk in their bodies fused into a super soul track. They even bit Morris Day and the Time dances for the video. They need to cut some checks. This is some Elvis jacking Ike Turner and Chuck Berry type shyt.

Marvin Gaye "lifted" a few things from other artist himself. Usually less popular artist. The blurred lines lawsuit is what started the whole thing and that was only because Marvin Gayes kids pretty much are living off of his music samples.

Can't lie...as ignorant as the original is, this dude saying "don't believe me, just watch" rubs me the wrong way

edit-

Trinidad is credited as a writer on the song, i.e. he is getting paid every time that song gets sold or streamred which is alot. I bet Trindad is happy

If that's the case, carry on then

[whatthatthangsmelllike]

[Doin2Much Williams]

I thought it was Nelly at the start of the song.

so that was Nelly?

 

[be back in a bit]

Uptown Funk is obviously a modern hit emulating the classics people loved years ago. And dude says it's 5 songs in 1 . Well if that's the case, it's not really copying at that point. Copying is taking a song and that making that same song. We gonna say Kanye West copying whatever tracks he sampled on Power cus he using elements from them? Come on son.
