Šta vi mislite… Da li je planetarni hit “This Is America” plagijat?

Childish Gambino je svojom originalnim singlom “This Is America” zaludeo svijet, do te mere da su se širom planete počele pojavljivati manje ili više uspešne varijacije na spot i temu ove pesme.

Ali, da li je “This Is America” zaista toliko originalna ili je, ustvari, i sama varijacija tuđe stvari?

Ova diskusija se zakuvala u medijima nakon što se na blogovima i društvenim mrežama pojavila komparacija sa pesmom “American Pharaoh” repera Džejsa Harlija.

I sam Harli je donekle dolio ulje na vatru dvosmislenim komentarima da je “počastvovan time što je prepoznat kao inspiracija za jedno od najvažnijih muzičkih i vizuelnih dela našeg vremena”.

I feel extremely humbled to be recognized and labeled as one of the original inspirations for one of the most important pieces of music and visual art of our time. I appreciate all the love and support! But PLEASE DON’T let this controversy dilute the message me and @childishgambino are trying to convey. We are speaking about injustices we’ve encountered and he’s helped to provide a platform for all our voices to be heard. Let’s not discredit him for that! The focus should be on affecting change in our communities and building equality. This is bigger than me and him and bigger than music. Let’s not lose focus ?? #noonewinswhenthefamilyfeuds #futurists

– Molim vas da ne dopustite da ova kontroverza razvodni poruku koju Childish Gambino i ja pokušavamo da prenesemo – dodao je ipak na svom Instagram nalogu. – Mi govorimo o nepravdi sa kojom smo suočeni i on je pomogao da se stvori platforma putem koje se glasovi svih nas mogu čuti.

Međutim, Gambinov menadžer je bio mnogo manje tolerantan na takve tvrdnje. Tačnije, vrlo netolerantan.

– Internet je mesto gde nema posledica. Mrzim to što neko kakav je Toronto Akademiks / Every White Blogger može da kaže bilo šta i vi to uzmete za jevanđelje. Ova pesma je tri godine stara i imamo Pro Tools fajlove za dokaze – napisao je na svom Twitter nalogu Fam Judeordži, pre nego što je nanizao nekoliko brutalnih psovki koje nisu za prevođenje.
