    The exact same song, HOLY ****!!! Well it's all good man, hope the views go up on his youtube page so he can get a little bread or whatever. I'm gonna stay away from this debate, gonna be hot fire. I mean I'm the last guy to even comment on this matter, I listen to K-pop, hahahah!

    It doesnt. Its the fact that he put on this persona of a cocky badass that could. Thats what irks me. Trust me, I know all about the differences of a great freestyler and a good artist that can make music. They hardly ever intertwine.
    Oh, like American Pharoah's song that he ripped? :D. Like I said before, I think hes got a really creative mind, but maybe, just maybe, the team behind him deserves more credit or credit at all.

    Eh, I don't know. Kelly Clarkson had a song called "The Heartbeat Song" that basically ripped off "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World. I remembered listening to it and was disgusted by this. I actually enjoy Kelly Clarkson (believe it or not!) but that right there turned me off. IIRC, there was hardly an uproar about this and so I think many people are meh about these things. Probably every hit song has some kind of rip off to it if you dig deep enough.
