So sick of producers/songwriters jacking Prince's catalog (example inside) What lazy uncreative minds to have to constantly bite off Prince
Rihanna example here- http://www.zshare.net/aud...3e95e2202/ and there are many others as you all know... I dont blame Rihanna for this travesty but her label Def Jam or maybe just LA Reid Feedback is this paying homage or straight being lazy and jacking Prince? [Edited 10/14/08 14:24pm] | |

[Edited 10/14/08 14:24pm] Kind of like Prince ripping off U2 on "Guitar," ZZ Top on "Peach," or Duran Duran on "Planet Earth," you mean? | |

[Edited 10/14/08 14:24pm] Usher has a rip off on his latest album, Justin T. did it, OutKast did it (in Idlewild), Diddy did it, all jackin' the melody lines and Linn drums .... to be quite honest, Prince can't complain.. he did it.. to Jimi, to Sly, to Santana, to Joni, to James, to the Ohio Players.. so... we all do 'reap what we sow' ..

why is it considered a rip off? i think it's acknowledging his influence on them

I am even going to comment about the Duran Duran nosense. You have numerous artist ripping off whole P songs and none of these asses give credit or acknowledgement. The RnB crowd is the worst when none of these clowns would even be on MTV or Pop radio without P or Mick Jackson having broken the barriers. | |

----- Everybody has influences we know about P’s influences because he talks about then all the time or covers the tunes of the artist. I don’t hear any comments from any of these morons and I do not see these artist mixing what Prince did with something of their own at least P brought something new to the table. | |

prince never gave credit 4 ripping tower of power's squibcakes as the back beat 2 the time's release it on graffiti bridge..nor jimi hendrix 4 the beat on tick tick bang...
rhianna is a worthless singer anyway ..take her out of the studio and her voice cracks .. man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

[Edited 10/14/08 14:24pm] Kind of like Prince ripping off U2 on "Guitar," ZZ Top on "Peach," or Duran Duran on "Planet Earth," you mean? "Ripping off"? Please. Prince does not rip off anyone. People like to point to "Purple Rain" and Journey's "Faithfully" which DO resemble one another. When Prince found out how similar the songs were, he called the members of Journey and told them he had made a mistake (presumably, writing a song so close to another band's song) and wanted to know if there was something he could do financially to make sure there was no controversy. The Journey band members said (1) it was very professional of him to call (most musicians wouldn't); and (2) no thanks, they had taken that song as far as they could, and they wished Prince the best of luck with his song. If one was intent on building a career on copying other's songs, one would not have made such a call and such an offer to another band. Case closed. | |

EXACTLY, and thats the difference- being up front about it or saying this has an influence and giving the credit. Not just sitting in a studio breaking apart Prince tracks trying to figure out how much you can copy and change up so there is no copyright infringement to try to make it your own and not be up front about it | |
