I wish Donald Glover would just stop rapping tbh. He's talented in so many other ways. His rap music is garbage tho

That's a very common flow in hip hop today and given that he used several rappers who use that flow on the song doing adlibs its obvious why he used that flow. The only other minor comparison is the african chanting in the background but even that's a stretch as that can be fairly common stuff too.

I don't do that whole "it's not as much as this so it doesn't matter" thing. Dumb argument tactic.

No, that's exactly the argument here.

Is it a coincidence or is everyone stealing?

The beat progression and flow in American Pharoah aren't even the same.
There's no guitar either, and that's like 30% of This is America.

What's your argument?

My argument is samplimg is a big thing in hip hop and this seems like an obvious case of sampling. The song just got way bigger than most songs and people assumed it was 100% original like they tend to. It's sampled and it's not a big deal.

Sampling would imply he actually used parts of that song, which is not the case.

???

This would be something like an inspiration, at best.

I honestly don't even like This Is America that much, but it wouldn't be impossible for him to literally forgot he listened to something before putting a [song] together.

I just don't like people who jump on the "rip off" or "plagiarism" boat super fast, like this TC's clickbait title.

I see. There was a wordfor that in comedy. I think it's called cryptonesia. When your mind bringsa memory up but mistakes it for an original thought
