A while back deadmau5 was beefing over The Black Eyed Peas copying his high-hat pattern in their track The Time (Dirty Bit). Chris Brown‘s Yeah X3 was criticized over sounding a lot like Calvin Harris‘ I’m Not Alone (reportedly causing Harris to experience a near-death incident when he heard C-Breezy’s track and choked on his corn flakes). Now, we got the biggest name in pop music in the world, Lady Gaga, ripping off six-year-old house riffs. The main melody hook from Gaga’s newest single, Judas, is pretty much exactly the same as the one from Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello‘s, aka Buy Now (and aka 2/3 of Swedish House Mafia), 2005 track For Sale. On top of all this, we’ve got Beyonce belting out over Pon de Floor and calling it her own single (although she did give cred to Diplo for the production).
What can we learn from all this? That pop music ain’t nothing but last year’s (or last decade’s) electronic dance music. Check out both Gaga’s track and Angello & Ingrosso’s below and see for yourself.
