Saw on a Youtube video a bunch of comments that song A was copying another distinct song (B) just because A has lyrics that sound like a slowed-down version of the lyrics in B. The interesting bit is that A is pretty much an entirely different production that clearly draws from Latin American music (salsa, cha cha) where B is from an Indian movie. The lyrics are the only thing A and B have in common, and they only go on for ~30 seconds (song A is about 2 minutes 30 seconds in length)
In this case, would you say song A is copying song B?
And, in general, is sampling "copying"?
I would say no. We've seen producers in hip hop and trip hop do excellent work with samples, like DJ Shadow's Entroducing.
Discuss.
