Yet Another Song Ripping Mr. Vegas' Pull Up

[Shig]

Watching BET today...

Turns out there's another song that ripped the beat from Pull Up - Mr. Vegas. It's called Move Your Body. Jook Gal and Culo were alright, but now it's pushing it. When will this end???

they didnt really rip the beat...dance hall artists do this all the time. They have "riddims", which are basically just beats that everyone uses. In this case the Mr. Vegas song is done on the Coolie Dance Riddim...Mr. Vegas used that beat, Elephant Man used it for two different songs, Predator and some other cats used it as well.

Pretty much every popular dancehall beat that gets popular in the states has like 10 different variations from different artists, that shit trips me out..

It doesn't trip me out, but it sure as hell keeps me from taking dance hall seriously.

Learn something every day.

Pull Up was the best though, if any of them could be considered good.
