Give me an example that isn't This is America (or them doing a Bootsy Collins-type beat and then just going ahead and crediting Bootsy Collins lmao)

This is America sounds nothing like American Pharaoh outside of "vibes" and lyrics on "capitalism". People acted like it was impossible that Glover could have done a track that sounded similar around the same time.
Redbone sounds like it's a modern take on Bootsy Collins because it literally is. People said it was plagiarism even though Glover was wearing his influences as clearly and visibly as humanly possible (Collins even got credited on the song). Is Tarantino a plagiarist because he makes homages to his favorite classic films for all to see while also doing his own thing?
THIS situation has direct word for word lines and melodies ripped from an established person in the industry's reference track that wasn't even out to the public yet. Acting like those two situations are the same as this situation is insane.

I wouldn't normally reply to someone clearly just trivializing all this s*** for a troll post, but I decided to in case anyone who's actually curious about those other cases wants to know the difference between what was alleged then and what's clear now.
how do y’all feel about the album?
I think watching the film will bring it together for me. It’s not bad, he’s one of the very few artists who can do different styles and each song is at the very least listenable, but it’s no BTI to me at this point

There's none, the This Is America one was a reach from the other artist who wanted clout.
Just finished my first listen. If this truly the end of CG, what a great album to go out on
About to peep now 👌🏾
Was a big Gambino fan as a kid then grew outta the music. Was on some hater s*** for years lol at this point I appreciate the ambition, even if the result isn’t always something I enjoy
if this is truly the end... it's nice to have it.
like.. it's nice to have a "goodbye" instead of "the last time I saw him was..."
I think this might be my 2nd favorite Bino album
kind of everything I expected out of him over a decade ago that he never delivered on
This album is awesome.
A ton of substance to the production & layering.
Love to see it. Been awhile since I was so enamored by production & listened to a full “rap” album.

I love it. I've been listening to too many albums lately where the production and vocals just don't sound full enough or sound rather hollow or swiss cheese. A lot of good chunky layering on this album
