Also I don't understand why is he stealing... I heard This Is Love and I liked it, and (I believe xD) it's an original track! Just so mainstream... I used to like the Black Eyed Peas...
Not true, and Basto actually produced the song for Will.I.Am, hence the similarity. Also, he received credit for his work.
Still doesn't justify the rest though. To be fair, if we haven't seen the album notes, we can't see if he gave credit where it is due. |

The way I see it... is that Will.I.Am doesn't care that he stole it. His fans are all pop fans and they don't care if he stole it... and the underground/edm fans who DO care that he stole it prolly never liked him anyways (except for a few obv). So why should he care? hes not losing fans.. most people who cared prolly weren't fans to begin with (with the exception like i said).
His job is to sell records... which he does... really really well.. in a shitty, grimy kind of way i guess = / |

Here's the second mind bender, see if you can spot the super obscure track sample in the chorus! To help you out, it may or may not be used on the super low key not mainstream album by super underground artists you've probably never heard of called the Sweden House Mafioso or something.
Anyone figured out Will.I.Am's instant money making tactic yet?
because from 1:02 it's not like absolutely the same as

I went to school with one of them. Even back then, he was just ripping loops off jungle tunes and rearranging them in Acid. I bet they still only use Acid. I bet they don't even program the 808's. They probably just use pre-made loops. |

18.04.2013 | Jeez its just sampling. What next? Will someone say looping is too repetitive.
Check this youtube video which plays several loops from daft punk and then the original source material.
Some 'artists' seem not to care what how transparent their inspiration is. Whether or not this is wrong remains entirely subjective.

u dont have to literally say/type something to mean it. No one asked if the music was garbage is basically what I'm getting at.
Who scoffed at house music? Not me... I clearly stated how I feel about the music of Will.i.am and the other trance guy who he stole the track from. I don't believe their music is good, my OPINION...
And you are not a mind ready and if I don't tye something you have no bounds for just assuming you know what i am believeing. I can promise you I will write whatever I am feeling.
I do not hate all music outside of my own, I can appreciate good music and I listen to a broad range of stuff. |

Agree, the first BEP album was really fantastic and still is in my top20 fave albums if not top10 |

He now makes pop for the masses and will make the basis of the original far more popular and listened to than ever before.
Who are we on a DJ community
to judge a man as successful and talented as him?
Also already said but nothing new in grabbing a hook, b line etc and using it for your own means. |

16.04.2013 | here you go... all he did was add a kick over their track with some filters... hats and groove are all straight ripped off/

This is nothing new. And Will.I.Am just ripped off some other dudes corny pop/trance track... both tracks are garbage, in my OPINION.

I don't know bout that. But Given that it's the SAME beat and even the song name, they should at least have contacted him beforehand.
