Mineral accuse Lil Peep of plagiarism

2017-05-06 by truly the taylor swift of the underage viagra demographic | 112 Comments
Texan emo pioneers Mineral have called out cloud rapper Lil Peep and DJ Gab3 for sampling their song "LoveLetterTypeWriter" in Gab3's new song entitled "Hollywood Dreaming", after Lil Peep went on a twitter rant about people illegally downloading his music from streaming services who profit from his music. The band fired back on twitter calling it "ironic", saying that they sampled their song without permission.

Art doesn't need copyright. Money does.
Shakespeare never made a pound buy selling his plays and shamelessly "stole" (There were no copyrights at the time. ) entire passages from the work of other writers because his main goal was to write good plays. Which he did.

Now, I'm not saying artists shouldn't want to earn a living, I'm saying that copyrights are based on the illusion that your popularity is a direct indicator and reward of your talent, and that the money you make is also an indicator of it.

Of Lil Peep and Mineral, who's the best artist ? Who's the most famous ? Who is more likely to make money with that insignificant guitar sample ?

What? No it's not. It's based on the idea of intellectual property dude. You could make some basic af bandcamp track and as long as it's original you've got copywright over your creation, has absolutely nothing to do with success. Why shouldn't an artist be able to claim something they came up with?

Does Peep really have any idea where he's going with his music? He just seems so aimless with it to me.

BTW why is Peep complaining about people downloading his music illegally? I've looked up and down his website and I can't find a single place where you can buy his music. He sells plenty of merchandise but the only outlets he has on there that show where to listen to his music are Soundcloud and Youtube. If you don't give fans anywhere to buy your shit, you don't have much room to complain when they download it.


EDIT: Just saw he has a Bandcamp. Still though, it's a little cringey to see underground rappers talk about having their shit downloaded illegally.
