Something rather interesting and perhaps entirely coincidently has been brought to our attention by an audio engineer who previously had close ties to Paisley Park.

He suspects that the foundations of some of the songs/remixes on #HITnRUN may be built upon existing songs by other artists* and has provided us with overlaid tracks (The HITnRUN track over the top of the supposed ‘guide’ track) as examples. Now obviously we can’t post those here, but the similarities in beats, tempos and other sonic elements is quite remarkable in certain instances.

To be clear, we cannot say with any amount of certainty that songs by other artists were loaded into Pro Tools and then used as guides by Joshua to program his beats over the top of in order to build some of the songs on HITnRUN. This Could B… entirely a coincidence.

A couple of songs for comparison:

Good lord, you mean there are OTHER artists that have songs as bad as these? Yikes!

That is exactly what the kids call songwriting these days: find something original, copy it exactly, then tweak it a bit. Though the irony of Prince ripping off a Ginuwine song, after he got pissed that Ginuwine covered When Dove Cry.

Cause no one listens to stuff and rips it off. duh.
