It's the terror of knowing what the song will be about
Ice Ice Baby has a pickup in the phrase that isn’t in Under Pressure. It’s an easy way to know what’s coming.
It’s how Vanilla Ice won against Queen’s copyright infringement lawsuit.I heard him defend it in an interview once. This is legit what he said: "Under Pressure goes 'Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum.' But Ice Ice baby goes 'Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum tss.'" That's a whole new work of art, guys! Like if I copied the Mona Lisa, but gave her like a strand of hair hanging down over her eyes. Artistically and legally distinct!
Holy shit somebody else that saw that interview. It always crosses my mind.
That was so silly. I mean, it was a sample. That's the fundamental basis of hip hop. There's no shame in it. Why would he try to pretend it was anything different?
Tbf, he later admitted that saying that was stupid.
Ah yes, the lollipop guild defence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HBmZuJlHs
Not quite. Turns out Van Winkle bought the rights to the song, and shares in the royalties with Queen, to avoid going to court.
I remember hearing the opposite a long time ago. Thanks for the correction!
It’s a shitty rip off from a musical standpoint. I’m glad he has to pay.
Looks like they probably share publishing rights if you read closely.
"Queen fans" is a perfect double entendre here.
Nice transphobic meme format you got there, very cool
Oh wow your post history is just a dumpster fire huh?
ta yeule
There's something worse, but only the UK was fully steeped in its horror.
I opened that in a private window so my google account wouldn't get sullied by its eldritch horror.
oh man I hate that one song with the nicely singing woman and im like. this aint bad I wonder what the song is. then mm voice starts in..... its like a vulcano fought a tornado while eating a potato with a side tomato
...are you talking about Stan by Eminem? https://youtu.be/sixjHud8lYw
I've been staring at this comment for like 5 minutes, trying to figure out what this could possibly be. I might be a little stoned.
(On the off chance I got it, the lady is Dido, song is Thank You.)
