@thefallen2470 other way around this is the guy who created the song other person sampled it for their song It's literally what the video is literally about
So people understand: just because someone "remixed it" doesn't make it originally or unique. If you "remixed it" without permission, upload it without credit to the original artist(s), and pass it off as 100% your own, it is still, by law, considered theft and a copyright infringement. The kid is lucky nothing was done against him.
Southstar did get the rights for the song though it was done after he had released it, and also schulz's remix is almost a 1:1 copy of southstars as stated by sony.
When they say it’s a business they fucking mean it. I have to pay for streaming and license rights for any vocals I use in released tracks. Most of them are limited to 10,000 streams before you have to renegotiate the terms with the original artist.
It’s about copyright infringement and protection. Some guy in Germany made a remix changed vocals butchered the titled and stole the orignals creator name and then Oliver Tree wakes up to a very unprofitable hours days weeks years for something that is his, without his knowledge “behind the scenes”. Like you rent a house but there’s another person or the goverment adding taxes on that particular business deal you have… a landlord in many cases can place any price just like Oliver Tree could’ve gone to a international court and pleaded that creative rights is important. In america they are but idk in Europe. Apparently Southstar was popular enough

Everyone knows the original is from Oliver. What people didn't like is that Robin Schulz eventually got the feature even tho southstar should've.. He made the song popular, so he should get credit for it together with Oliver.
There are clear systems in place for musicians to clear samples/covers. Southstar covered the singing and arranged an entirely new song around it.

Funny how he never once said "miss you" in the original version but after southstar made that change and released it all of a sudden its called miss you now....
Remix of your song on the internet blowing up under the name miss you, change a single lyric and now you can call it the same name and capitalise. Ez. No problem with that.

They didn’t just redo the vocals, they did a full remix of the song with new production. You can’t steal the production. Most they got was lyrics and a melody. Oliver straight up ripped off another artist because the guy didn’t sample his vocals directly so he didn’t get a cut.

@@sunsoar1822 It's a sample, artists do it all the time. All musical artists sample eachother. There are thousands of hits that have dozens of samples taking vocals or riffs from different songs. This is not only normal and good, but simply how music fundamentally works.
South star went to get permission to release the song from Oliver’s team, they then went and screwed him over and released the song as Oliver’s, but when you have a platform as big as Oliver you can rewrite history
He's leaving out a key part of the story. Southstar secured the rights to remix the song. He had sampling rights and Oliver is framing it as if he just stole the song and didn't care. Also, I refuse to believe that Oliver had absolutely no knowledge about a song he put on his own album. The only way that could possibly happen is if a producer said "hey we have this remix we wanna put in the album" and he was fine with them putting in a song he had absolutely no hand in making without looking into it any further.
If southstar had rights to do so why he didint fought in court? I've made many remixes and if is very difficult if not impossible to sample anything from a big label legally, most people just take and sample anything they like is part of the culture but that does not grant you any rights over your remix.
Bro, the thing is that yeah he remixed one of his songs but then they found out about it and just copied his remix exactly and released it themselves. They didnt change anything about it just copied his exact mix. How anyone can take his side is crazy. German homie deserves money from this shit.
I'm glad he's talking about this. When I saw the Southstar version it did have the Oliver tree remix label though. It full-on seemed like he full-on saw the remix got popular, and he randomly took it and added another random famous artist's name on top of it instead of giving the credit to the first kid who remixed it.
But explains that it was he’s song that he wrote (not a fan what’s so ever) but people believe so much shit then man just said he wrote the song so yes he can do as he pleases the guy should of never took a song and made he’s own then complain when it’s taken away
@@andrebirds6308he is right, the guy cleared everything before uploading to spotify. oliver tree madr a big problem over it when the song became successful unlike most of his shit music. after that he collaboratied with a known plagiarist robin schulz and released the southstar version as his. the guy is absolute scum
But it’s still an asshole move to not even credit Oliver Tree and since it was a remix of Oliver’s song and Oliver did change some stuff about it and then released a newer version. Think of it like this punching a person in the face after they give you a million dollars.
Southstar remixed it without permission but later bought the vocal rights, just that Robin Schulz and Oliver Tree steal the whole remix and publish it. At the end the remix is by southstar and nobody else
Comments are a bunch of crap. Let me summarize what actually happened. Southstar used Oliver Trees vocals to create his remix. He did not have permission at initial release. You need to keep in mind though that he isnt a huge artist and didnt know it would blow up like it did. Also the way he used Oliver Trees vocals falls under fair use, meaning it was totally fine to use them as long as it was non-profit. After it blew up, his label got full permission for the track so he could release it commercially. Quick summarization: Southstar made a remix of Oliver Trees Song, changing it almost entirely and within legal boundarys, although not actively giving credit to Oliver Tree. After that, the Robin Schulz version was released under Oliver Trees label. Its a one to one copy of Southstars remix. Using his beat, using his idea for the vocals. He was given no credit. Now you decide who stole from whom
There is no way Oliver Tree didnt know of Southstar and his version. Southstar essentially sampled Jerk for Miss You. Oliver did a 1 to 1 copy of Southstar's track
I swear people that blame southstar have absolutely no clue of what they talk about. He uploaded the remix to SoundCloud (for free) like millions of other remixes. Not saying it’s legal, it’s just how the scene works and usually no one bats an eye because there’s no profit being made. Also this breeds creativity and is the pulse of the modern dance scene. He then acquired the rights and even changed the vocals when he released it on Spotify which makes it completely legal. Every cent he made with it was with the rights he bought for the sample. Then Robin Schulz ripped the remix with custom vocals from southstar and didn’t even credit him at all. This isn’t the first time he’s done this to German DJs and won’t be the last time, he’s notorious for this. I mean a remix inspired by southstar would be fine but Schulz straight up ripped the MP3, sped it up and layered a couple drums on it. I don’t get how anyone could see southstar as the bad guy here. Yes, that also means Oliver Tree made a video to a song he didn’t even sing himself and probably didn’t even realize it which is hilarious.
@@derrickmeade4891 the keyword is „transformative“. It’s a pretty loose word but what southstar did was definitely that and Schulz didn’t „transform“ the song.
@@Jmack1llaThe thing is, and I don’t know the legalities of it. He sampled from his song “jerk”. And then Oliver stole the rest of the song that southstar made.
To make shit clear, he (or/and his label) did know that his vocal was "stolen" since after his remix blown up Sony contacted him in order to make things legaly ok in exchange of what Oliver gets 100% of the publishings (money) and then posted his latest version of it after wich Oliver released "his" 1:1 copy one month after with robin shultz. And yes he did knew that they were copying southstar version since recorded his vocal again with robin shultz. Also southstar didn’t "stole" his vocal but used it as a sample like every dj.
@@SyndicateIRL Why Southstar would be the only who's right ? Oliver Tree is honest here, like he is about problems like that. Before hate someone you don't know, and here stupid and fake things, watch the interviews. Oh! And Miss You is originally Jerk, an Oliver's song. So, Southstar has no right about the song. Just that, it's clear, totally clear that Oliver didn't stole anything. The story is true, stop your hate, seriously.
@@evadetree Oliver made the original. Southstar made his own version of the song. Oliver’s team and Oliver themselves went out of their way to deliberately recreate every single aspect of southstars version. Since it’s not a direct copy from the original to southstar, he did not steal the song from Oliver. Considering Oliver’s new version is almost identical to southstars it’s stealing. This is basic copyrighting stuff my guy. I highly advice you look into it before blindly believing Oliver
@@SyndicateIRLthat’s not how it works for songs though. There’s two copyrighted aspects, the actual performance that’s recorded(which was Oliver’s until they replaced the vocals), and then The only thing that can be copyrighted as far as music composition goes is the lyrics and the melody, both of which were written by Oliver. It obviously gets more complicated then that, but Southstar made a huge mistake by not crediting Oliver Tree with the original and publishing it as an official remix. It was all shady to begin with, and the worst part is that Oliver’s label and a guy who ripped his song without permission(south star)are the ones that got the majority of income from it, not Oliver. Unless Oliver somehow retained all of his copyright from the label, which I highly doubt he did, cause labels are absolute blood suckers. Moral of the story, don’t use someone else’s song without asking for permission and crediting them, or atleast that should be it, but now Southstar got a ton of publicity and streaming revenue off this whole thing…which is fucked.
I mean, this is a massive lie but okay. Southstar has been open to the fact he received a sample clearance for the lyrics to an old Oliver tree song song and made it into an entirely new song. So yes he wrote the lyrics to the original song, the kid samples his lyrics and makes an original song with clearance from olivers label, then oliver steals the beat of Southstars song and puts the lyrics he cleared the sample for on it. So technically Oliver did steal the music, he just didnt steal his lyrics.
Just no! Anyone who knows anything about the producer scene/community knows that remixes are part of the art and are usually welcome. There is nothing wrong with REMIXING a song, that's not stealing. Stealing the remix 1:1 tho is definitely stealing. Southstar was screwed over, he waived the rights to the song to his label (because copyright in this regard is super weird) who then proceeded to screw him over. Typical capitalistic greed, all of this is just about the money...
Yea man. Oliver's Team was probably salty that some random guy made a WAY better song with their guys vocals. Jerk is an alright song, but Southstar did those vocals justice.
@thefallen2470 yes, they should be thankful if anything. Without him the song would have never existed or taken off anyway. He did not steal, he made something different/better with it... It should be your freedom to do so...
Had no clue about that southstar story..been listening to Oliver before that song blew up and always thought it was a remix of the original song lmao. Btw went to his concert in St. Pete and it was the best live music experience I've had!!!
Bro said , ima make his song into a nightcore remix and profit that shit . This is why i keep my ideas to myself and say : " fuck money " I can feed myself without money so i can say that .
He also stole like 4 songs and has been called out and refuses to answer. Southstar released his song first and one of Oliver's friends who's friends with southstar when he released the song. Oliver still refuses to give any credit to those artists
Southstar didn't "remix" it. It's an entirety new arrangement using vocal samples from Jerk. If he owned the rights to Jerk he should of collaborated with Southstar. What's fucked is that they just took the new arrangement and sold it as their own work.. Jerk and Miss You are two entirety different pieces of music, they're not even in the same genre.
So pretty much he had nothing to do with making his biggest song as big as it is and had no idea of anything apart from the lyrics of a song he made 4 years ago... ok bro
Big L on oliver tree side, he knows he wouldn’t be able to make a song that good so they had to change the narrative and copy the song. If miss you wouldn’t have gone viral oliver tree and his label wouldn’t even know about it. it’s all about greed and money
@@smelliestduck so if your copyright gets infringed because of a sample you have the right to just steal the whole song? they could’ve easily taken down the song instead lol but they knew the song was popping so they tried to make a quick buck with someone else’s work
Not fully buying it, south star tried to patch it and him or his label whatever you want to call it just gave no credit to the remix and changed song and ran with it South star fixed it and they screwed him
To be fair the record labels and the artist typically don't work "together" especially when it comes to copyright issues. The record label typically deals with those things as they see fit causing situations where they copyright a singers singing so they can't even make a dollar if they ever decide to sing with their own "voice" after they leave the record label. With how shady the record labels are I totally believe it's plausible that he knew nothing about this.
That’s all a lie. Southstar used the same producer as oliver and the producer passed southstar’s song onto oliver and oliver copied it. OLIVER IS THE THEIF.
Nah he just trolled him. Take his song, remove his name from it. Try to skirt legal implications by re-recording it as a cover. So he takes his “song” and releases it as his own since they wanted to play games. It’s hilarious, Oliver’s label really got the better of them
@@fueldbyirony8126that’s not how this works bro learn before arguing here. You gonna say it’s daft punks song even though Kanye rapped over it? It got cleared, and it’s it’s own work now. This is the same here. Count what you have now by vantage is just a slightly faster, pitch shifted version of the original, with a drum beat. It’s it’s own work.
@@fueldbyirony8126how are there so many people in the comments who have apparently never heard of sampling? Sampling a vocal doesn't mean that vocalist now owns all the instrumentation YOU wrote.

But explains that it was he’s song that he wrote (not a fan what’s so ever) but people believe so much shit then man just said he wrote the song so yes he can do as he pleases the guy should of never took a song and made he’s own then complain when it’s taken away
@@Miguel17624he can’t clone the song 1-1 like they did. It’s a new song after the fact, so south star did something legally, and Oliver did not
Didn't the guy who remixed it get it legally and Oliver's team just re-uploaded it
No not what happened
@@R4PT0RxD nah not true
@@R4PT0RxD nah mate you’re wrong
@@R4PT0RxDhe is just fucking with you.
@@andrebirds6308he is right, the guy cleared everything before uploading to spotify. oliver tree madr a big problem over it when the song became successful unlike most of his shit music. after that he collaboratied with a known plagiarist robin schulz and released the southstar version as his. the guy is absolute scum
I love you
People used to argue with me when I tried to explain this, so it's good to hear it from his perspective
Bro went to the barber and said just give me the worse cut you've ever seen
South star had permission to remix the song though….
That’s what I heard too
But it’s still an asshole move to not even credit Oliver Tree and since it was a remix of Oliver’s song and Oliver did change some stuff about it and then released a newer version. Think of it like this punching a person in the face after they give you a million dollars.
Southstar remixed it without permission but later bought the vocal rights, just that Robin Schulz and Oliver Tree steal the whole remix and publish it. At the end the remix is by southstar and nobody else
Unique style choices. I have never seen anyone meld a bowl cut and a mullet together before. Well done!!
This is the only time I've seen him serious. I must have manifested this.
And he’s straight up lying to you !
That haircut is a breach of the Geneva Convention
Definitely 12 years old 👆🏾
@@GashaODOKURU I'm literally a fully grown adult
@@jamesgould3263 I think it was ironic lol
Bowl mullet is definitely a war crime
It’s cool to see him being real
Comments are a bunch of crap. Let me summarize what actually happened. Southstar used Oliver Trees vocals to create his remix. He did not have permission at initial release. You need to keep in mind though that he isnt a huge artist and didnt know it would blow up like it did. Also the way he used Oliver Trees vocals falls under fair use, meaning it was totally fine to use them as long as it was non-profit. After it blew up, his label got full permission for the track so he could release it commercially.
Quick summarization: Southstar made a remix of Oliver Trees Song, changing it almost entirely and within legal boundarys, although not actively giving credit to Oliver Tree.
After that, the Robin Schulz version was released under Oliver Trees label. Its a one to one copy of Southstars remix. Using his beat, using his idea for the vocals. He was given no credit.
Now you decide who stole from whom
robin not oliver lol
@@dorin4694 where did I say Oliver? Anyways he put his name on it and needs to show responsibility now
Southststar stole from the ORIGINAL artist which is Olive Tree. You're welcome.
This is like Campbells suing Warhol for using their can
The remix wouldn't exist without southstar. Putting Robin schulz name on it is scummy
There is no way Oliver Tree didnt know of Southstar and his version. Southstar essentially sampled Jerk for Miss You. Oliver did a 1 to 1 copy of Southstar's track
this song made some memories
Don't care at all about this guy's music but I love seeing his speaking appearances.
Never underestimate the stupidity of someone who can't compare upload dates.
Kid looks like the definition of restraining order
Wondered why i started seeing this guy everywhere, that damn song
I swear people that blame southstar have absolutely no clue of what they talk about.
He uploaded the remix to SoundCloud (for free) like millions of other remixes. Not saying it’s legal, it’s just how the scene works and usually no one bats an eye because there’s no profit being made. Also this breeds creativity and is the pulse of the modern dance scene.
He then acquired the rights and even changed the vocals when he released it on Spotify which makes it completely legal. Every cent he made with it was with the rights he bought for the sample.
Then Robin Schulz ripped the remix with custom vocals from southstar and didn’t even credit him at all. This isn’t the first time he’s done this to German DJs and won’t be the last time, he’s notorious for this. I mean a remix inspired by southstar would be fine but Schulz straight up ripped the MP3, sped it up and layered a couple drums on it. I don’t get how anyone could see southstar as the bad guy here.
Yes, that also means Oliver Tree made a video to a song he didn’t even sing himself and probably didn’t even realize it which is hilarious.
Lol Oliver sung those lyrics in the song Jerk.
You can do whatever you like with a song aslong as you dont make money from it.
That song is literally a remix of his song though what are you on about?
So by adding a drum beat he just remixed southstars work
@@derrickmeade4891 the keyword is „transformative“. It’s a pretty loose word but what southstar did was definitely that and Schulz didn’t „transform“ the song.
as german
i apologize for my Landsmann
He isn’t really honest about it actually the label from Southstar actually put his name in the credits also brauchst dich für keinen entschuldigen
Don’t apologize. Oliver is the song theif
Yes Oliver is the thief.
@@Jmack1llahe had the rights to do his stuff so he did steal southstars remix tho
@@Jmack1llaThe thing is, and I don’t know the legalities of it. He sampled from his song “jerk”. And then Oliver stole the rest of the song that southstar made.
For anyone wondering, the original is “Jerk” by Oliver ❤ It’s my favorite of all the versions ❤
That bowl cut mullet is something else
who tf was his barber cuz it seems like he placed a plate on his head then cut his hair bru
It's a bullet mullet bull cut
Yeah it’s called a bowl cut. Not a plate cut.
Fire this man's barber
This is true my brother use to Liston to that song years ago I was trying to figure out how this all happend
I can’t get over the hair.
his hair is a crime against humanity
To make shit clear, he (or/and his label) did know that his vocal was "stolen" since after his remix blown up Sony contacted him in order to make things legaly ok in exchange of what Oliver gets 100% of the publishings (money) and then posted his latest version of it after wich Oliver released "his" 1:1 copy one month after with robin shultz. And yes he did knew that they were copying southstar version since recorded his vocal again with robin shultz.
Also southstar didn’t "stole" his vocal but used it as a sample like every dj.
Oliver is chill for not suing the britches off that young bloke.
Dude is a legit artist
Bro lied so hard here lmao. It was very apparent that it was absolutely deliberate by all parties to take the song
Of course, you have the truth in your skin, for sure yeah yeah
@@evadetree why would he be honest about stealing a song? If he admits then south star has a legal case against him. Think bro think. You got this
@@SyndicateIRL Why Southstar would be the only who's right ? Oliver Tree is honest here, like he is about problems like that. Before hate someone you don't know, and here stupid and fake things, watch the interviews. Oh! And Miss You is originally Jerk, an Oliver's song. So, Southstar has no right about the song. Just that, it's clear, totally clear that Oliver didn't stole anything. The story is true, stop your hate, seriously.
@@evadetree Oliver made the original. Southstar made his own version of the song. Oliver’s team and Oliver themselves went out of their way to deliberately recreate every single aspect of southstars version. Since it’s not a direct copy from the original to southstar, he did not steal the song from Oliver. Considering Oliver’s new version is almost identical to southstars it’s stealing. This is basic copyrighting stuff my guy. I highly advice you look into it before blindly believing Oliver
@@SyndicateIRLthat’s not how it works for songs though. There’s two copyrighted aspects, the actual performance that’s recorded(which was Oliver’s until they replaced the vocals), and then The only thing that can be copyrighted as far as music composition goes is the lyrics and the melody, both of which were written by Oliver.
It obviously gets more complicated then that, but Southstar made a huge mistake by not crediting Oliver Tree with the original and publishing it as an official remix. It was all shady to begin with, and the worst part is that Oliver’s label and a guy who ripped his song without permission(south star)are the ones that got the majority of income from it, not Oliver. Unless Oliver somehow retained all of his copyright from the label, which I highly doubt he did, cause labels are absolute blood suckers.
Moral of the story, don’t use someone else’s song without asking for permission and crediting them, or atleast that should be it, but now Southstar got a ton of publicity and streaming revenue off this whole thing…which is fucked.
this is totally me when i steal an entire song from southstar
i love this song
I mean, this is a massive lie but okay. Southstar has been open to the fact he received a sample clearance for the lyrics to an old Oliver tree song song and made it into an entirely new song. So yes he wrote the lyrics to the original song, the kid samples his lyrics and makes an original song with clearance from olivers label, then oliver steals the beat of Southstars song and puts the lyrics he cleared the sample for on it. So technically Oliver did steal the music, he just didnt steal his lyrics.
Everything I've seen about it has shown that Southstar never cleared the sample
@@sirstripmercer you must be reading the wrong stuff then man, he was cleared for the lyrics to jerk and had another artist re record them.
Just no! Anyone who knows anything about the producer scene/community knows that remixes are part of the art and are usually welcome. There is nothing wrong with REMIXING a song, that's not stealing. Stealing the remix 1:1 tho is definitely stealing. Southstar was screwed over, he waived the rights to the song to his label (because copyright in this regard is super weird) who then proceeded to screw him over. Typical capitalistic greed, all of this is just about the money...
Yea man. Oliver's Team was probably salty that some random guy made a WAY better song with their guys vocals.
Jerk is an alright song, but Southstar did those vocals justice.
@thefallen2470 yes, they should be thankful if anything. Without him the song would have never existed or taken off anyway. He did not steal, he made something different/better with it... It should be your freedom to do so...
Had no clue about that southstar story..been listening to Oliver before that song blew up and always thought it was a remix of the original song lmao. Btw went to his concert in St. Pete and it was the best live music experience I've had!!!
I could follow a single word of this
My brain refuses to take seriously anything he's saying because of the haircut.
Bro said , ima make his song into a nightcore remix and profit that shit . This is why i keep my ideas to myself and say : " fuck money "
I can feed myself without money so i can say that .
Southstar literally did nothing wrong. He paid for it to be cleared, and it was stolen 1-1 by Oliver. Pretty cut and dry theft if you ask me
crazy how artists get walked through and instructed to do things that LOOK like creative decisions
Imagine the peace humanity would have if people looked stuff up instead of just getting angry and assuming
He also stole like 4 songs and has been called out and refuses to answer. Southstar released his song first and one of Oliver's friends who's friends with southstar when he released the song. Oliver still refuses to give any credit to those artists
What are the other three songs exactly?
What are the other songs bud
He says he doesn’t care but he’s been kicking up a fuss about it for ages now 😂😂
as he should
This is damage control because I think Oliver did actually steal the song tbh
@@BearOverseer he defo did
Soo from this southstar sounds like a real piece of work…
Lyinnng he was maddd
Southstar didn't "remix" it. It's an entirety new arrangement using vocal samples from Jerk.
If he owned the rights to Jerk he should of collaborated with Southstar. What's fucked is that they just took the new arrangement and sold it as their own work.. Jerk and Miss You are two entirety different pieces of music, they're not even in the same genre.
Yes.
So pretty much he had nothing to do with making his biggest song as big as it is and had no idea of anything apart from the lyrics of a song he made 4 years ago... ok bro
…..pretty much. Labels be doing what labels be doing
Uncommon record label W
Southstar made this dude
Big L on oliver tree side, he knows he wouldn’t be able to make a song that good so they had to change the narrative and copy the song. If miss you wouldn’t have gone viral oliver tree and his label wouldn’t even know about it. it’s all about greed and money
Me when talent does not change copyright infringement
@@smelliestduck so if your copyright gets infringed because of a sample you have the right to just steal the whole song? they could’ve easily taken down the song instead lol but they knew the song was popping so they tried to make a quick buck with someone else’s work
Not fully buying it, south star tried to patch it and him or his label whatever you want to call it just gave no credit to the remix and changed song and ran with it
South star fixed it and they screwed him
Don't here what other haters like you say
Some people just won’t get the concept of theft and defend the thief to the end of time
To be fair the record labels and the artist typically don't work "together" especially when it comes to copyright issues. The record label typically deals with those things as they see fit causing situations where they copyright a singers singing so they can't even make a dollar if they ever decide to sing with their own "voice" after they leave the record label. With how shady the record labels are I totally believe it's plausible that he knew nothing about this.
Which song is older?? and which singer is more famous???
@@evadetree 🙄
Edgar mullet its evolving
Duuuddee that makes me feel so much better about loving Oliver's remix XD
Oliver took this song from south star. Whatever your hearing from Oliver is all a lie.
Lies
Song is fire 🔥
This is why it's important to observe licenses and creation dates if you're going to take it to court for DMCA issues.
That’s all a lie. Southstar used the same producer as oliver and the producer passed southstar’s song onto oliver and oliver copied it. OLIVER IS THE THEIF.
He literally sang it years ago before the south star remix it’s his song
Nah he just trolled him. Take his song, remove his name from it. Try to skirt legal implications by re-recording it as a cover. So he takes his “song” and releases it as his own since they wanted to play games. It’s hilarious, Oliver’s label really got the better of them
What a stupid thing right here. Southstar is a DJ who's alone to create beats and one day, he just stole Jerk
@@fueldbyirony8126that’s not how this works bro learn before arguing here. You gonna say it’s daft punks song even though Kanye rapped over it? It got cleared, and it’s it’s own work now. This is the same here. Count what you have now by vantage is just a slightly faster, pitch shifted version of the original, with a drum beat. It’s it’s own work.
@@fueldbyirony8126how are there so many people in the comments who have apparently never heard of sampling? Sampling a vocal doesn't mean that vocalist now owns all the instrumentation YOU wrote.
Thank god for southstar
Südstern ❤🎉❤🎉
