It wasn't note for note doe.

On purpose 2 avoid "stealing" and sample clearence fees.

I'll take your word for that.



Just curious, how is he being accused of stealing Marvin Gayes joint on Blurred lines?



That wasn't a sample though just similar notes played.

In my book, if u "recreate" someone else's notes.....it is the essense of sampling.



If that's the case, Prince would've been sued 10Xs over for "recreating" blues chords and James Brown riffs.

That's a good point.Prince has songs that seem to be "based" on ideas from other artists.Such as his new song "U Know",which uses a sample.

I don't think that any artist is 100% original,anyway.Everyone's influenced by what came before them.

I'm talking about Pharell at the moment. Prince has a cataloge of Prince songs.
