  1. I got the This is America Ratio concept from this song.

    It is always 60-40, where if the 40 is con, the 40 can always control.

  4. Another win for the ol’ Dong Lover. You too can have a wealthy nepo-baby steal your creative content. This is America.

    Edit: I thought he was the son of Danny Glover. I thought I had seen an interview where this was stated. It turns out he comes from the original Dong Lover who was a mailman. That was my mistake and I will take all the flak for making a false statement about his past.

    Misinformation: This is America. The difference is I don’t have stacks of cash to fight for the right to steal creative works like the Dong Lover I thought was a Nepo-baby.

  6. It’s kind of crazy to me because this feels more similar than the Robin Thicke Marvin Gaye case

  7. Even if he was heavily influenced by it, or “stole it” which is dumb, go to edm if you wanna hear some stolen music, but This is America was a relevant song that was perfect for that moment. Whoever made the original whatever that it was based on should’ve made it more relevant and it would’ve gotten radio play like Childish Gambino’s This is America. I used to listen to that song like 4-5 times in a row on a bike ride when my stamina was waning.

  9. Oh my god, a song that sounds vaguely like another song! There are only a billion examples of that over the past 100 years! yawn.

  10. They did same with Eddie Murphy (Coming to America) and Michael Jackson songs.

    It’s always successful things lol

  12. It’s pretty remarkable that such blatant plagiarism wouldn’t result at the very least to the original artist receiving royalties but here we are.
