Hip Hop/ R&B songs that were already recorded by others

[Uncle Baby Billy]

Saw @Sbp's comment in the Omarion/Mario thread and got reminded of songs that had demos from other artists.

Know any more songs?

 

[Travellin' Man]

Chante Moore's "If I Gave Love" and Jennifer Lopez's "If You Had My Love"

Rodney Jerkins wrote and produced both songs

According to Chante Moore, the story goes like this: Puff heard Chante's song and was like "i want that song" Rodney was like that's for Chante, that's her and then Puff was like "i want that song"....

so Rodney wrote and produced the same song basically:

Butterflies





Queen bytch

so demo hijacking? not just simply demos by artists recorded for other artists? ...rephrase the post title so it's more direct



recorded in 2000 by Tatezee

re-released by Trina in 2017 as a single..i don' think Trina changed the original vocals and just passed it as hers like JLo did with Ashanti's vocals on I'm Real (remix)

....producers shop around beats all the time, and rappers may have rapped on the same beat but may have shelved the song, so there are probably mad songs with the same beat recorded at around the same time but just didn't come out

Are you saying you want to see leaked demos in here?
