Word I was seeing the same shit. They took the dancehall riddim, bboy style, all our dancehall and african dance moves... even our singing style...

Also if you ever listen to metallica or any other rock... listen to the white boys sing. They are essentially screaming the blues.
 
These non-talented fucks. Nothing is sacred... That's Drake, P-Diddy, Bey, shit the whole industry steal. But I hate when they fight it like they don't know what they did LOL
 
I was listening to ring the bell earlier this week. shit goes hard. video is dope as fuck.
 
Skrillex killed her argument, but music is so subjective. They may throw her some chump change just so she will be quiet permanently?
 
Lol I seen the vid. Those are some wild riddimless people. Haha doesn't even look natural. These cacs steal everything, I mean everything. ‎
But anyway at this point I ain't even mad at them cacs. We as black people give everything away for free. I mean go say something now you will see black people protecting Justin bieber before white people will. Smh ‎
 
I will never understand how him or Justin Timberlake get props from our community,they are both examples of the thievery that's been going on for centuries.

I still be seeing black people talking about they love Elvis when he jacked EVERYTHING from black people and became a legend.

What's trippy to me, tho - I liked Bieber's "Journals" album, and it was written entirely by a black man (Poo Bear/MDMA), and Timberlake's albums are good and he gets them produced primarily by Timbaland and Pharrell. And it fucks me up because these are great records, but why can't they give 'em to black artists? Like Luke James would blow up if he had those records Timberlake got from Timbaland. Somebody like Bobby Valentino could rejuvenate his career with those records MDMA gave Bieber.

Why is this even a race issue. Yes there are a lot of white artist today that have black backers (usher just counting cash at this point) but you would be shocked to find out the amount of white people that were writing for black artist back in the day. Just in hip hop alone, how many of us knew that the great mike seen that we all loveed so much was white. Strange fruit was written by a white guy wtf.

"Sorry" is a song recorded by Canadian singer Justin Bieber for his fourth studio album Purpose (2015). Written by Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter, Sonny Moore, Michael Tucker and Bieber; the song was produced by Skrillex and Blood. It was released on October 23, 2015, as the second single from the album. A dancehall-pop and tropical house song, "Sorry" contains in its instrumentation "brassy horn bleats", warm island rhythms and a dembow riddim beat. Vocally, Bieber uses a smooth falsetto during the track. Lyrically, "Sorry" is a plea for a chance to apologize to a lover, with Bieber asking forgiveness and a second chance to redeem himself.

Critically, the song received praise for its tropical vibe and Bieber's vocals. Commercially, the song acheived international success, topping the charts of thirteen countries. It spent 7 weeks at number one on the Canadian Hot 100 and 3 weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100; "Sorry" was replaced by third single "Love Yourself" on the chart dated February 13, 2016, making Bieber the 12th act in the Hot 100's history to succeed himself at number one. He also accomplished the same feat in the United Kingdom, becoming the third act ever to self-replace at the top of the UK Singles Chart.

In May 2016, Billboard reported Justin Bieber and Skrillex are being sued by indie artist White Hinterland, who claims the duo used her vocal loop from her 2014 song "Ring the Bell" without permission. Eight seconds of the "Ring the Bell" riff is allegedly used six times in "Sorry." Co-writers are also included in the suit.[76] Producer Skrillex responded to the claim by uploading a video of himself manipulating the vocals of co-writer Julia Michaels.[77]
