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):
Sandra it’s a beat everyone be sharing, stealing swapping beats…

SMH.
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.
How does Beyonce seem to wind up in post that have nothing to do with her?
You
her don’t you Sandra…I know girl
I can’t remember the last time I had cornflakes… morning everyone!

HELL THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME…JUST CALL IT A MIXTAPE AND YOU GOOD CB.
And on that Note…

sandra, you must not listen to euro dance tracks very often lol i’ve been listening to this type of euro dance since i was in junior high (lasgo, ian van dahl etc.) and seriously, the tracks are always similar lol it’s like how reggaeton all has the same foundation beat. calvin is just looking for publicity
Someone cut him a check soon so he can disappear and claim that his twitter account was hacked

YUUUP and Sandra jump all on like milk is his cereal bowl…
RE: What Chris Brown and Beyonce have in common
-Sandra is secretly in love with them both
-I don’t really care about either one.
Hasn’t Chris suffered enough?
sigh.
The song is wack anyway…
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.
Now yall know if this was the other way around and somebody jacked Chris Brown’s beat, yall would be calling foul…smh…lol
