Yeasayer needs attention desperately lol

pitchfork.com/news/yeasayer-suing-kendrick-lamar-and-the-weeknd-over-black-panther-song

Here's the song they say it sounds like

Needs attention or compensation

LMAO this is the most asinine s*** i've ever seen regarding copyright in music.
this trash song has some choir doing "oohhhhh" and Abel literally says alalalallala.
how is this supposed to be even slightly similar

It's like similar structure, but nothing was picked apart or copied lmao

the choir sounds like the choir in Pray for Me tbh

except it doesn't.
and in pray for me that's abel doing the lalala.

not saying they ripped it I mean it just sounds similar but the songs have nothing else in common it's yet another stupid law suit

why do these lawsuits get so much attention? literally anyone can file a suit like this and say the weeknd or kendrick or whoever ripped them off.

That Yesayer song kinda dope ngl

Kenny’s album is coming sooner than even he thought now

such bullshit

Why wait two years for filing the lawsuit

wild that yeasayer of all bands is suing lol

they definitely sampled those screams in the end. I don't know the sampling laws but I'm surprised these industry dudes don't either

Wym?

This isn't a ripoff but Doc and Frank were definitely inspired by it. Lemme get in my music nerd bag from what I can immediately hear:

• both in the key of E minor
• both have that tribal tom roll percussion
• the "ah" is identical with both being a harmony of the E min7 chord

But I hate this type of s*** in music cause even when it's not enough lifting to say anything was stolen, mfs still wanna take the smallest s*** to court cause the precedent

no copyright infringement was committed, but Kenny and Abel are probably still going to lose just like Katy Perry did.

the situation regarding music and copyright is a whole ass mess rn since record labels and broke artists have figured out how to get lots of money by filing bogus lawsuits

Niggas broke

the Blurred Lines lawsuit definitely f***ed all of this up

artists now need to give writing credit for the most minute song elements because of the outcome of that lawsuit

If they weren’t so far up their own asses, they’d know it’s a celebratory East African chant and a homage to Weeknd’s roots

What these niggas finna do, sue a whole nation

Smfh

I’mma sing some vietnamese/oriental harmonies on my single and some band from Mississippi gon sue me

That whole album is pretty cool. Glad I found it.

Damn this song got so many dislikes on YT since the lawsuit lmao

1.7k likes and 3.2k dislikes
