Ray did plenty of country but he was just a great artist. They are a lot less talented but musicians in their own right.
Go ahead and keep with your "the whiteman don't let us have nothing" routine -

Its not a sample either. Its a good ripoff of the type of song and you can't own that.

GQ interview from May 7, 2013
http://www.gq.com/blogs/the-feed/2013/05/robin-thicke-interview-blurred-lines-music-video-collaborating-with-2-chainz-and-kendrick-lamar-mercy.html#ixzz2cBLRWxUcGQ: What's the origin story behind your new single "Blurred Lines"?
Robin Thicke: Pharrell and I were in the studio and I told him that one of my favorite songs of all time was Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up." I was like, "Damn, we should make something like that, something with that groove." Then he started playing a little something and we literally wrote the song in about a half hour and recorded it. The whole thing was done in a couple hours—normally, those are the best ones. Him and I would go back and forth where I'd sing a line and he'd be like, "Hey, hey, hey!" We started acting like we were two old men on a porch hollering at girls like, "Hey, where you going, girl? Come over here!" That's why, in the video, we're doing all these old men dances. It was great.

If ? would go back to making completely original music this wouldn't be a problem. It's not like Pharrell isn't a talented musician, didn't the ? played the drums for Paul McCartney at the Grammys a few years back. I seriously doubt that McCartney would have some random ? playing the drums for him.

Did they just say they're suing because the song has the same "Feel" as marvin Gaye's song? SMH thirsty MF's
-
My song has snares and your song has snares. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
-
u always need to pay the original artist da sample money cause they are the ones that went through creatin da sound in da muthaphukkin first place!
-
aint no check getting cut
-
Could imagine if you really could copyright the "feel" of songs, and subgenres though? I think the only good thing would be it would force artists to be original
-
Getting emotional isn't gonna help anyone. At the end of the day this is business and Robin Thicke and his team got to do anything to secure his money.
Can't really blame artists like Thicke for what they're doing. As long as people wanna have this inclusive culture where outsiders are accepted this will keep happening. Anyone can latch on to your culture. Hanna Montana is rapping now lol. When they steal you wanna complain, but you put them in a position to steal in the first place.
Be less inclusive, start distributing your own music and take ownership and stop complaining... -

music in general would be ? because there's plenty songs that remind me of other songs but aren't samples at all yet because the melodies are similar if you want you can swap the lyrics out for one another -
I wonder if people would start suing each other because they stole their singing/rapping style?

*face palm*

One lawsuit stench never has to worry about

Funkadelic doesnt have a case at all, but Marvin's estate would. He's quoted as making something like it but giving it no sample credit(where the beginning of the songs are the same and pieces are interpolated too). Got To Give It Up IS the basis of Blurred Lines.
-
the thing is this song been out SINCE THE WINTER TIME. what took so long for gaye's family to sue? only cuz its the number 1 song now?
-
of course you hear the similarities but suing now when the song been out since january is ?
