What do chris brown and Beyonce have in common? They’re both song thieves!

Sandra Rose September 27, 2010

Troubled singer chris brown is in hot water for stealing the beat of another track for his own club single “Yeah 3x”.

Calvin Harris was stunned to hear the similarities between his single “I’m Not Alone” and brown’s club-tinged song off his upcoming “F.A.M.E.” (Forgiving All My Enemies) album.

Over the weekend, the Scottish musician took to his Twitter page to complain about brown hijacking his beat:

He has every right to be pissed: brown’s synthesized beat and Harris’ are nearly identical. Though the track was produced by a DJ, it behooves chris brown and his label to make sure the music is free and clear of samples or rights.

Harris plans to take legal action against brown and his record label.

Listen to chris brown’s “Yeah 3X”:

Now here is Calvin’s version (jump ahead to the 0:44 second mark to hear the similarities in the two tracks):

I can’t access Calvin’s version, but I have a feeling this is going nowhere fast.

However, I’m sure it made your morning, Sandra. Probably couldn’t get your breakfast down quick enough.

Both were produced by David Guetta. What’s the big deal?

Also, a producer reusing loops–especially when the first use didn’t result in a hit record–is a far cry from Beyonce’s history of flat out lying and saying that she wrote something that she obviously did not since she wasn’t mentioned as an Oscar nominee for writing Listen.
