@88mroux You're thinking of Vanilla Ice not giving writing credit to Queen and David Bowie. Hammer DID give writing credit to Rick James.

@NoMoreVanilla Do you know whyd MC Hammer didnt give songwriting credit to Rick James? Was it beccause he Didn't think Superfreak was a good song and he thought that he could fix that by copying the tune and turning it into a totally new Rap song or what?

@011111000000 It would be a bad thing if one of those artists didnt show true respect for the origonal composer or artist for the origonal song. My question is do you know if MC Hammer coppied it because he thought he could come up with a better song than Rick James and thought Rick James song Superfreak wasn't cool enough?

@88mroux It's the way some people is creative: they sample other people's work to do theirs. I never can decide myself if it's a good or bad thin. It's like a collage. But in this case it goes beyond a simple collage: it's an utter copy of the music with different lyrics.

@pandaboy52 Whats the whole reason that MC Hammer used the riff from Rick James's Superfreak?
