VIDEO: CHRIS BROWN - YEAH 3X

There are so many things wrong with this song. The big issue being its wholesale jacking of Calvin Harris' "I'm Not Alone", but then if you delve further: Too much auto-tune and a major lack of subject matter.

The most serious question is: How can you go from "Deuces" to this?

This song > that other Chris Brown single that blatantly steals Calvin Harris' "I'm Not Alone".

JACKING REDONE AND GAGA

History has shown that the trends in music that catch on are generally ones that are easiest to imitate. RedOne's production being no exception, considering the bulk of his sounds used in "Pokerface", "Just Dance", "Fireburning" etc are presets found in ReFX's Nexus VST software.

Germany's Cascada did an incredible job of cashing in on a song that sounded exactly like Gaga already, now its Gaga jack round 2 with "Pyromania". Oh there was also the second single "Fever" that never made it beyond Europe that isn't what you'd call original...

WHO BIT WHO: JIM JONES vs BASEMENT JAXX

Basement Jaxx's long awaited album Scars came out last week and the first song is an epic but unexpected Dipset/Timbaland-esque production featuring Kelis, Meleka & Chipmunk, titled "Scars".

Cool, whatever right? But what makes this interesting is; a Jim Jones song by the same name with a Z ("Scarz") leaked at some point last year featuring an almost identical beat. The song was not featured on Jimmy's 2009 Pray IV Reign album, nor was it released commercially in any form so its pretty much impossible to find any credits for.

Check out both songs below:

Basement Jaxx Ft Kelis, Meleka & Chipmunk - Scars



Jim Jones - Scarz



So, did Basement Jaxx take this from Jim, or was it a demo Jaxx did with Jim? Someone please provide some insight into this bizarre situation...
