Prettttty weird, but i like it. Ill post up some tracks if i find any later on.
While were on the news of Ed Banger, i stumbled upon the sample track for 'Pop the Glock' by Uffie last night. Its from Audio Two's track 'Top Billin''. I was completely caught off guard by how much Pop the Glock follows the rythm and even lyrics of Top Billin'. Listen for yourself.
Audio Two - Top Billin'
Uffie - Pop the Glock (zShare)
Now, im a fan of sampling and all, but i would almost say she goes too far. she uses the same hooks and a bunch of times the same first three or four words for a rhyme. For example, the start of Pop the Glock is
"MC Mic /
People Call Me Uff /
When I rock the party /
Bust a nut /
feadz is breakin' out the beat /
Shit be hotter .. Then Me "
And the start of Top Billin' is
"MC am I people call me Milk/
When I'm bustin up a party I feel no guilt/
Gizmo's cuttin, up for the/
Suckers that's, down with meeee!!"
I dunno, that seems like a pretty blatent rip off to me. Opinions? Comment it.

"Pop the Glock" is a very unfortunate old-school rip-off. I had never been a person well-informed in the fields of old-school, but I knew it was a rip-off from the start-- people have been stealing from "Top Billin'" since it came out almost two decades ago. Love Uff, but it's a shame. Her original stuff is better, IMO. Allll the lyrics are straight-off "Top Billin'", but it was pretty much her first song anyway, I don't think she expected it to go anywhere.
