I have seen MULTIPLE posts of people ripping on will.i.am’s new song with Chris Brown; “Let’s Go” ripping off Arty & Mat Zo’s “Rebound”.  Things like: 

Okay, so, will.i.am samples a song for his song. The fact of the matter is literally EVERY major recording artist has sampled other people’s work. I am not defending him as an artist, but people that are ignorant of the music industry and insult someone because they realize one track. “Stealing” and “Sampling” are two totally different things.

And if it is because lack of crediting Arty & Mat Zo, to reiterate, almost every artist sample other peoples work with lack of credit. Pitbull and Flo Rida being some of the worst offenders. Did you know Ke$ha’s hit single “Take It Off” samples the melody of an old French nursery rhyme? Did she credit that song? Nope. It is irrelevant. Just because will.i.am is using the beats of someone else’s less popular work and making it more popular should only give reason to people to check out Arty & Mat Zo’s work. If anything they would be getting more attenion from his sampling. You reading this right now might make you go listen to it, and therefore the service is already done.

Lack of permission is one thing. I agree compensation should be made to them, but people ripping on his production skills and saying he stole it because he sucks is stupid.

So there. He didn’t steal it. Sampling is a major part of the music industry

LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS.
