I wonder why Bruno wasn't mentioned
since Uptown Funk everything he's done has been ripped from a 90s/80s R&B hit
hes like theee worst offender

yeah I mean

I don't disagree with the title but pop music just clones itself or steels a sample and then try to say it's original

but I thought Bruno was R&B? Or is that only when it's convenient to have him overshadow the Black artist?

It's not the act of sampling itself that's troubling...

But in the last year-ish, it sounds like R&B singers and producers have decided that sampling a major hit with an absolute minimum of change is the quickest — the only? — path to chart success. These artists are not sampling as a way to reframe an old record or spotlight a particularly compelling passage that might have been overlooked. This is sampling as karaoke, where the in-your-face rip of an already-successful single serves as a silver bullet to counter listeners' presumed bias against the unknown.

Let's kick r&b while it's down Rolling Racists  let these gorls sample. R&B is now owned by the whites it seems so I don't see an issue with brown folks sampling past brown folks, keeping the coin black, and getting a hit in the process. It also can help introduce the youngins to the classics. Yeah, I'm all for it

they tryna erase black people from R&B like they did with country, rock, and currently rap. Did a honk write this?
