No lies spotted in the OP but it's obvious why it's seen as an original track. I see "Sampling" becoming a huge problem in the music industry in the coming years. More and more "artists" will start using samples as a majority of their songs, only minimally adding to the original and claim it as just a "sample".

If you look at a song like "Booty" by J.Lo, it makes no sense for Cory Rooney and Benny Medina to be listed as the main producers when the the entire production and chorus are taken from "Dat a Freak" by Diplo. I don't consider that a sample. I consider sampling to be an additional element in a song taken from another song. Using the original as the majority of the production should be considered covering or remixing. Artists like Kanye West and Drake include samples in the majority of their tracks but those samples never carry the song completely.

Because it's a sample

ddd girl at least you tried.

Because it's a solo song? Sampling a song ≠ featuring an artist.

Originally posted by Truth Teller You actually have a point. The chorus is the song's catchiest section and it really sells the song. It's a sample, so obviously the original artist is not credited though. That's how sampling works in hip hop.
