...the same? OK... I'd like you to do something for me. Go out and buy The Sounds Of Science by The Beastie Boys - it's an anthology of all their best stuff. Listen to Sabotage. Then listen to, oh, I don't know, Fight For Your Right, perhaps. Then maybe a little Three MC's & One DJ. Heck, finish it all with Shake Your Rump. Then tell me if all those songs sounded the same. If you come back and say they did, you need to get a hearing aid.
And what the hell are you talking about "the money was too hard to ignore"?
: :The Beasties are part of a wide spread plague of plagiarism that apparently has gone on unnoticed.
: If George Harrison can be successfully sued for "My Sweet Lord" by others claiming it sounds too much like "He's so fine" by the Shirelles(sp)
: Then answer me how there can be more than one RAP song. If plagiarism
: suits are determined by melody and beat than any song after the first one
: (whoever that was) should have been stopped. But.........the MONEY was too
: hard too ignore so the industry let it slide......
: So now we're al hip-hoppin, be-boppin, slap rappin to CRAP.
