Ushers song Trading Places is a blatant RIP OFF of Prince !!

Has anyone heard this song? it's so transparent that he's trying to get that mid 80's percussion of Prince and then steals a guitar solo at the end for good measure, lemme know what U all think.

Prince has done done so much in music..so many different styles. Its almost impossible not to rip off something from him if youre an R&B artist(and I use the word "Artist" very loosely these days)
