@JakeTheSnakeHarder i recomend you learn how to spell haha instead of lol. looks like somebody dropped out of middle school to persue there figure skateing career.
@Purplesmurfmuffinz haha well how about you your only 2 years older than me, and your swearing, but it doesn't really matter does it, I mean i don't swear very much in real life i say damn but thats about it.
@Purplesmurfmuffinz I hit puberty early, when I was ten, and my voice has been deep for about a year. I also know that there is a large difference between 12 and 14.
I'm just an unselfish person genuinely trying to help and speaking on the current state of our world. If I'm not part of the solution, I'm part of the problem. This is as real as it gets and if you happen to disagree, that is completely fine. We all have our own brains and can form our own ideas and express them freely :] If you do agree feel free to share/spread. It has nothing to do with me-no ulterior motives, rather just a message, a reminder :]
@snakcaz I'm gonna go ahead and make an assumption, you say you're a "realist", when in reality you're a nihilist. You don't see a point in arguing on the internet, it's masturbatory.
I won't even compare this with modest mouse because I don't need to. This may be based off Float On but it is still its own song. Its a great song, there is no doubt on that. It has a good message so I like it. Before anyone hatemails me, I will say I love float on too and modest mouse deserves all the credit in the world for that song.
I was listening to the radio the other day, and I kept thinking about MM, then I realize that it was part of Float on being used. It's a really good song, but to the people comparing to this to the original, remember, we're talking about Rap and Indie Rock, two completely different genres of music.
@XeroHeroForever No. You see, Vanilla Ice sampled Queen's "under pressure" with "ice ice baby" and Jason Derulo sampled Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" with "Watchya say."
Lupe Fiasco pretty much remixed "Float on." That's called "Couldn't think of anything like every other artist nowadays so Im gonna look up some rock songs." :)
"sampling has been done since the inception of hip-hop and rap"--this doesn't make it okay. By saying this, all you do is show that the attacks against this song can be applied to hip-hip and rap in general. You can be inspired by a song without using the exact same melody.
I got so pissed off the first time I herd this. Rap "artists" need to stop buying their chords and melodies start writing. Modest Mouse is my favorite band and this just shits all over them.
Can we just agree that Lupe Fiasco heard "Float On" by Modest Mouse, said to himself "I really like the message of this song" and decided to put his own message of happiness and moving on into a song because he was inspired by Modest Mouse. Once we start arguing we stop listening to the message of EITHER of the songs. Im pretty sure Lupe Fiasco and Modest Mouse arent arguing over whose version is best.
I wasn't expecting much, but it wasn't bad. ... Wasn't really great, but it had the nice beat of Float On. The lyrics seem pretty watered down in comparison to the original song but meh. I guess you can't expect a whole lot when it comes to people who sample.
@Wiggasack hey dipshit, and any other dipshit out there saying the original is better, and lupe sucks cause he samples shit, he only sampled this one fucking song, his lyrics are way better den some modest mouse shit cause they have fucking meaning, and another thing, @rockerdancsi how the fuck is dis stealing when he has to pay for it, look up stealing dipshits!
@WoundedBanana Calm down, sir. You're raging pretty hard, so you're already losing your side of the argument. No, just no. Modest Mouse is much more talented. You wouldn't believe it, but I like Lupe Fiasco. I just love Modest Mouse so much more. I hate sampling because it indeed shows unoriginality. "Float On" by Modest Mouse was already fine and gold the way it was. You don't mess with something that's already great. Lupe made a mistake in making this song. Don't pull fallacies on this stuff.
@Wiggasack just listened to modest mouse, lol have to say i like it quite a bit, but that still doesnt mean yall niggas can troll all day, i get freakin tired of people who come on here and complain about shit, but it appears some people actually have some taste on here
remember everybody this one wouldnt exist if it wasnt for the original so stop saying this is better its a younger song ppl they had enough to make and fix what they want so plz dont troll
I'd never listen to this on purpose, but it could be SO much worse. If you have a hardy gastro-intestinal system, check out Jay-Z's sampling of Death Cab's Marching Bands of Manhattan. Awful. Just atrocious.
