Swagger Jack or Coincidence? (Slaughterhouse)
I’m aware that samples get flipped, re-flipped and re-done several times by several different producers…that’s what happens with sampling, especially when the record isn’t extremely rare.
The only thing that rubs me the wrong way in this situation…is that I made this track about 8 months ago and sent it to one of the members in Slaughterhouse about 2 after that.
6 months later, it comes out on their album with similar drums, sequencing, bass line & sample (obviously pitched down), and in the credits it’s produced by a Grammy award winning producer. (StreetRunner)
I’m not necessarily saying they stole my beat…I have nothin but respect for the dudes and personally enjoy their music, but if something walks like a duck and sounds like a duck….
I’d like to hear some people’s opinions and feedback before I take the matter any further.
The 1st track is Slaughterhouse’s “Not Tonight”, and the 2nd track played is my beat.
In truth, immediately i didn’t understand the essence. But after re-reading all at once became clear.
