    I do not agree with your take on triplets, they were and are an integral part to various African peoples music, so I'd call it more a reconnection to black roots than Kendrick picking up Migos' flow

    The lead singer of one my favorite bands ever, Braid, said that when they started out they wanted to be a mash-up of Fugazi and Jawbreaker: the crazy guitars of the former mixed with the poetic, confessional lyrics of the latter. Obviously there were other influences mixed in, but those two were the main ones.

    Their first album sounds VERY Fugazi-ey. By their third, their sound had become something pretty unique. They didn't really sound like Fugazi anymore, they just sounded like, well, Braid.

    At first I was one of those people who believed that stealing art was the wrong thing to do as it just makes you into a copy. Until I started writing my first screenplay, I'm writing a Martial Arts revenge story set in the 1970s about a young woman seeking to kill the governor of New York because she watched him kill her father and her baby sister when she was 12. This concept isn't wholly original as it's kinda Kill Bill and many other films, but it's ironic that Kill Bill is the main source of inspiration behind this because Kill Bill is a clone in itself.

    happy to see i’m not the only one thinking this. GO STREAM LEECH BY ANTUAN THE PYMP. It’s a concept album i self produced and wrote with the only feature being my buddy austen. The entire album was crafted in honor of all of my favorite musicians, from Tyler the creator to Dilla. It’s one of the most interesting albums i’ve heard and regardless of if it takes off, im extremely proud of how interesting it sounds. If you guys are open to giving it a listen, i’d check it out! It’s out on all streaming platforms including youtube!!

    It’s very important kids to be influenced across mediums. So basically a writer is usually heavily influenced by music or a director is heavily influenced by a writer or a musician is heavily influenced by a scientist etc …be artistically influenced by animals and weather systems, car design and chair design, fashion, architecture, basket weaving patterns etc… it’s endless. You can choose which lineage to branch from in any direction. You’re failure to be other people results in your own unique self… so essentially “failure” is the secret sauce of art.

    I feel like this is kinda an oversimplification in light of the recent developments of the whole music industry and "technological advancements" and what not, but you can't tell me lou Reed stole the same as whoever the other bitch was he mentioned

    Francis Ford Coppola has said (and I'm highly paraphrasing here) that copying is important to do for an artist in the beginning, because it continues a connection that the thing you're copying made with you, so it's starting from something genuine. And when you've explored that thing in earnest, other stuff will come up and eventually you can't help but shape it into something new that is undoubtedly your own voice.

    Its not scary at all. How do you think people learn to write songs? You learn to play other’s songs. You begin analyzing the songs you love. You breakdown arrangement and how the recoding is staged. You find out why that one out of place chord works so well. That isn’t stealing. That is admiration, humility, learning, and ultimately helps to blossom your creativity.
