@Butter_Chicken says it best:

Good on him for being so open and honest about the influence of black music, would've been cool if he said this when the songs came out though

Lame title

This is fair but doesn’t really justify title. And did this guy even talk back then? I thought it was just the Kurt show

Dope

Glad he’s paying homage

stealing...... what a dumb reach

dude literally says it himself in the f***ing video

Everything has influence

what a headache

He clearly appreciated the f***ing music

wtf

that's f***ing crazy wtf

Right lmao... everything has influence, Gap Band-ish to Cameo-ish...

Grohl's from the DMV so he's going to be influenced from the DMV sound. He profited from black music and didn't give credit until he milked it dry.

It happens all the time, people steal things that don't belong to em & act as if they're the originators.

There was a thread 2day Iggy Azelia and how she attempts to resemble a sista. Other nationalities attempt to look black until it's time to be us. No one wants to endure slavery, stolen inventions, wealth loss etc. this world wants to profit off the lack of business acumen of the diaspora. It's our curse but God willing it'll be broken off.

The purpose of Op was left to interpretation but this ish trend has to stop.. Come clean

He was for a while, but now he's good again

Peep the post above

allegedly since 2011

thanks for the update i remember the article i saw about it being old

Why should he put up a disclaimer? Cuz he’s white? Does it make you happy being so sensitive and affected all
the time?

these got dang yakubs amirite bois?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

yeah but ppl here wont acknowledge that because it doesn't fit their agenda. It's just Dave Grohl whos the hack, not MJ

Fact is nobody else would have thought to sample those different drum patterns and put them together to make that new one.

Nothing is original, EVERYTHING was influenced by something. Sometimes it’s easier to tell, sometimes it’s harder.

Kudos to him for giving proper credit though! But he should be more proud of his work.

Stealing, no

inspired? Yes

that's like saying every artist that built up a beat on a techno song is a stealer

this

the idea to put disco drums on grunge without anybody noticing

+ lets not act like people listened to nirvana for the drumming

acculturation ≠ appropriation

Yup that's the issue frfr. Not the influence but the fact that he ain't give black artists their flowers at the time. An issue that still continues today

what’s the point of stating all your influences in all instances

i kno this is a music forum so the encyclopedic nature of these influence things may be useful or interesting to some here

but don’t you think most people just listen to music for the…music as opposed to wanting to hear who influenced this riff, these drums, this particular snare’s reverb, etc

this isn’t a practice that needs to become required. it’s cool when it happens, that’s kinda it tho

Blew my mind lmao

Not stealing tho

It’s stealing but it’s not stealing, he took it and made it dope in his own way

See this is why op sucks for wording the title

Now these random niggas are exposing themselves :(
