But why? I mean is it just a huge coincidence or who copied who?

It's a really old re-used sample. It's from the Stylistics "You Are Everything". Mary J. Blige also used this sample.

I think if were talking about the same sample J.lo used it on a song on This Is Me..Then

I just think Latoya's Torn sounds awful period

Yeah, artists should try to use DIFFERENT samples, haha.

I hate it when that happens, as an example i've heard Ashanti's Foolish rhythim in other songs, mostly rap or hip hop

No, Ashanti sampled that too, from Notorious B.I.G.

LOL

Actually both Ashanti's "Foolish" and Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance" Remix are bulit around the same sample, DeBarge's "Stay With Me."

rofl at all the rehashing. And yeah J Lo used You Are Everything as a sample for The One

Yeah but how original is it to use a sample someone else used in the last few years? It's like Kelly Clarkson covering We Belong Together for her next album...you can bring back things from the past, but wait until they are the PAST and not just brought back 2 years ago.

LMAO those were good times.
Anyway, it's really sad that all of these sampled songs don't even compare to the original - and the original isn't exactly a favorite of mine. People shouldn't sample songs unless they can do something great with them.

Two words: Nina Sky

There was like 10 songs made out of that same Coolie dance beat.
