Jennifer Lopez is a theiving whore!
Is she sweeping the cutting room floor?
Not only is her lead single "Get Right" a carbon copy of an unreleased track from Usher's multiplatinum Confessions, but now another track on her latest effort, Rebirth (to be released March 22) seems to be stolen from another mega-artist!
The "new" track, "Ryde Or Die" has been taken from none other than Brandy Norwood! The song originally appeared on a mix tape 2 years ago with vocals by Brandy, featuring the rapper Posta Boy, with the title "I'll Do Anything 4 U". Too bad the track wasn't officially released, because it's some of the best work Brandy has done recently. Co-produced by Brandy's ex-husband, not only does JLo borrow the song, she borrows the exact music, arrangement and vocal stylings as Brandy!
JLo's theivery isn't a new occurence - it all began with a track from the album bearing her pseudonym, JLO. Mariah Carey was working on her Glitter album and had registered the use of an obscure sample from a Japanese track called "Firecracker" for her first single from the album, Loverboy. Hoping to sabotage his ex-wife, Sony Music Exec Tommy Motolla (also Mariah's boss at the time) gave another copy of the sample to Jennifer to use on her track, I'm Real. Since JLo's track hit the airwaves first, Mariah had to go back to the drawing board and insert another sample into her song - basically ruining it. The Motolla/JLo team stop there - they went on to do a remix of the single with Ja Rule, to mimic the at-the-time-unreleased If We from Glitter, further destroying Mariah's album.
It's time for Miss Anthony to make some music that is HER OWN. Oh wait, I forgot - she can't sing - scratch that. While we're at it, can someone please stop the annoying horns on "Get Right"? I feel like I'm listening to The Cosby Show theme song while on ectasy!
