Illiterate Prince Sample? Why do I think about Prince when this song hits the 14 second mark? Is it just me? | |

Sounds similar with the piano riff but it doesn't sound like a sample to me. RIP | |

It's not an uncommon piano riff. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

I hear what you're hearing, Prince is probably the inspiration, but that was also common piano riff. You'd hear it in musicals a lot too. Prince just owned it after he used it. | |

I can hear the Beautiful Ones part but not She´s Always In My Hair. Someone in the comments also noticed the similarities and mentioned both songs but I really only hear the first one, and while it does sound similar, I doubt that it´s a sample. Many of Prince´s songs contained little elements that were reminiscent of other songs, too. For example Cream, Erotic City and Dreamer. Can you please tell me at what minute this song reminds you of She´s Always In My Hair? I´m just curious. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

I do not think it is a sample (why bother) it is a simple repeating piano cord. Sounds similar to the part of "the Beautiful Ones" but not a sample... but nice catch. "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

You can't copyright a song title (Remember when Pointer Sisters and Van Halen both had songs called "Jump" out at the same time, Pointer Sister added a subtitle to avoid confusion; how many people have named songs "Baby" or "I Love You?") You can't copyright a drum pattern either. I recently talked about a playlist of songs that all had the same 90's beat (see Enigma "Sadeness," etc.). It's like trying to copyright an open highhat on the off-beat (a la disco). Not possible. None of those people have grounds for a copyright charges. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

It is not enough... is it even the same notes? how many? Sounds like one simular cord at a simular tempo...but not the same. And remeber prince lifted all the time... the intro to kiss is a bit like "pappa's got a brand new bag" not the same notes/cords but it seems to be a nod to it.... "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |
