Modest Mouse or Lupe Fiasco.

[quote=Dremu]Alright so me and my friends all talk about how Lupe Fiasco stole Modest mouse's beat to their awesome song Float On in use for Lupe's song The Show Goes On. I wanna know which one you like more. The REAL song, or the Bought one. Lupe Fiasco [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmp6zIr5y4U] Modest Mouse [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTAud5O7Qqk][/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i already figured the first one was going to be a rap, but 22 seconds into it i turned it off. i also own 2 of modest mouse's cds and they're probably my second favorite band.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]I enjoyed both but prefer Modest Mouse. EDIT: btw, he didn't steal the beat, he bought it. He paid modest mouse in order to use it on his song.[/quote]

[quote=Wnuk]Modest Mouse for sure.[/quote]

[quote=orochinagi]i call Danger Mouse! [youtube=PrM0E9pag8E] On Topic: Modest Mouse...[/quote]

[quote=Shrillex]I enjoy both but I like rap better.[/quote]

[quote=Wnuk]Well i must say Lupes song was quite the *puts on sunglases* Fiasco YEAAAAAHHH![/quote]

[quote=Dremu][quote=Canoas] EDIT: btw, he didn't steal the beat, he bought it. He paid modest mouse in order to use it on his song. [/quote] Well know shit I realize this, but he basically stole it to make it a rap song, Cos rappers don't know how to make their own beats they have to use other artists. That's why i lose respect for any rapper who uses a great song as their own, it ruins it. Lupe's song is cool but i wish he'd use his own beat. I'm not ignorant enough to believe he just stole the beat without asking for it or paying for it, Obviously that is illegal. But i'm saying it's really stupid that he can't make his own.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Hah, I was expecting the first one to be crap, but it was pretty good. Dunno which one I prefer.[/quote]

[quote=Xaioli]Lupe Fiasco and Eminem are lyrical masterminds. Anyways, If Lupe stole it w/o purchasing/permission, shit would have gone down the second the album got released. Also Dremu, stop being butthurt. It's fine with permission. If you don't like the song, so be it, there's always gotta be that song no one likes. However, don't be that guy that goes around, OOOH I DONT LIKE HIM ANYMORE CAUSE OF ONE DUMB THING. I hear music all the time with a catchy beat. I sing it around my house, places a go. However, I mix up the lyrics a bit because I think I can make it sound better, or because I don't know what the full lyrics are. The same goes for rappers, singers and anyone, including Lupe Fiasco. He liked the tune, he got permission and decided to share it with the world. Every artist knows that when they release a 'copied' song to the public, it'd be recognized. Real ballsy, but artists release music because they... want to share their talent with the world.[/quote]
