BlueStepper GawIt is a crazy series of events, to have one of the biggest artists in the world just completely jack your s***, and then admit to it. But I guess you just gotta move on.
Not just that but to have it be one of the biggest & most recognizable hits by that already-huge artist
I'd be mad too
Nov 9, 2022·edited·5 repliesI always said that this was the start of Drake moving weird when it came to hopping on waves. He did the same thing to Ramriddlz around this time too. Both of those niggas changed Drake more than anything lmao

D DotThoughts on Drake acknowledging that he got the idea from DRAM?
https://www.thefader.com/2015/10/20/drake-hotline-bling-cha-cha-interviewDrake spoke about the connection between the songs in the course of his interview with The FADER—though his comments haven’t been published until now. Responding to a question about a sunnier vibe to some of his summer output—he seems to acknowledge that “Hotline Bling” was based on “Cha Cha” and describes the song as a modern-rap equivalent to a dancehall artist recording their own spin on a hot riddim.
“You know, like in Jamaica, you’ll have a riddim and it’s like, everyone has to do a song on that,” Drake said. “Imagine that in rap, or imagine that in R&B. Imagine if we got one beat and every single person—me, this guy, this guy, all these guys—had to do a song on that one beat. So sometimes I’ll pick a beat that’s a bit, like, sunnier, I guess is the word you used, than usual, and I just try my hand at it. And that’s kind of what ‘Hotline Bling’ was. And I loved it. It’s cool. I’ve been excited by that sort of creative process.”
Yeah, he got the idea for the general soundscape, you can tell just by the songs themselves, but DRAM didn’t invent and does not own that soundscape.
A song is only a rip off if every single aspect of it is the same as one preexisting song, including but not limited to: the flows, lyrical content, lyrical theme, message, and sound. If even one of those is different, then the artist took something that already exists, but made it their own, which is what all art is.
I really hate the “biting” complaint because it limits creativity and causes stupid and unnecessary beefs, like this one.- Nov 9, 2022
Bro... LMFAO word that s*** was laughable because I told mfs he was influenced by him back then. Son was way too late and knew what he was doing

i don't care whether or not you were right or wrong u just looked like a doofus by proclaiming you have no idea what's going on but still speaking on it
Did you not read my previous post?
I based my take on my personal philosophies and beliefs and more importantly, like, at least 20 previous cases where I did check out both songs and concluded that there was no biting on all but one.
It’s not having no idea what’s going on to apply your previous experience with similar situations and make a deduction because of that.
That’s like saying that I can’t know being hit in the head with a baseball bat would hurt because it has never happened to me. You can tell it would hurt because getting hit with other things hurts, so a baseball bat would be no different - Nov 9, 2022·1 replyD Dot
