Glad someone is speaking on it.

[Gilgamesh.]

he aint say nun when he was getting dat coinage for  Bey's "Baby Boy"

Because he was featured, credited and the beat was original. Not even close to same thing.

[Gilgamesh.]

What is there to credit?

A lot...and I mean A LOT of music now is a total rip off of some dancehall/reggae songs. Because ya'll dont grow up listening to it, you wouldnt know when u hear it

I think you have be an Islander to really understand. I happen to like alot of these songs, Tory's "LUV", Ariana's, "Side to Side" and that Victoria Monet song are dope. But some of these songs are just shoddy remakes.

Do y'all even know Popcaan was on the original version of "Controlla" and Beenie Man's vocals are on it but he's not featured.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its been happening for years. Lil Kim has done it several times. Stole a complete verse from Tanya Stephens on her Naked Truth album and got sued. Lighters Up is a complete ripoff of Damian Marley's Welcome To Jamrock. Nicki Minaj does it a whole lot too. Even that Side To Side song u mentioned, the way she started off her rap was a ripoff of a Buju Banton hit record. I could go on and on but chhh...I aint got the time cause half these artists they wouldn't know. lol.

I get the sampling but just give some credit. feature a reggae/dancehall artist on your song so they get their due respect. they can't even get a shot in the music video....a poster, picture..nothing.

People are being willfully foolish in here. A dancehall artist featuring on a pop song IS giving credit to the dancehall genre. That isn't what Sean is talking about. What he's talking about is them incorporating dancehall into pop music, trying to pass it off as something new and innovative, rather than crediting it as dancehall influenced. It's the same as if Becky threw two Ubuntu knots in her hair and everyone goes crazy calling it new and innovative when the world knows blacks have been doing that forever.
