"This is America" - Childish Gambino, by Rouen Cathedral on Jul 19, 2018 14:38:00 GMT 1, Surprised him potentially ripping this song off hasn't gotten more attention.
Its pretty close, but the original composer seems pretty ok with it.
Amazing piece of artwork though.
Not sure it matters if the original composer is okay with it.
Pretty close is an understatement.
People go nuts for much less. Just interesting that this basically gets to mention.

Feel that the only person it should matter to is the original artist, he may have his reasons to be ok with it.

The original artist not attempting to sue and gain profit is a fresh of breath air in this society we live in. I'm sure he has his reasons and they are probably noble and well thought.
But to then say it's okay that the second artist who likely stole and played off the work as original (and to high acclaim) with no mention of the original artist and no comment since is ridiculous for anyone supporting artists originality and expression.

"This is America" - Childish Gambino, by Rouen Cathedral on Jul 20, 2018 14:38:19 GMT 1, How do you feel about Warhol?
Same as I feel about other appropriators. Also different Warhol works get different opinions.
The argument that others do it is a poor argument in my opinion.

"This is America" - Childish Gambino, by Rouen Cathedral on Jul 20, 2018 17:48:26 GMT 1, Iโm saying artists have been using the work of others for millennia. Call it appropriation if you want. Makes no difference to me.
That's fine and you are right to some extent. But your examples vary in degree from 'using previous works'.
In this case it's a pretty egregious 'use' of another artists work.
In the banksu case it's not a very much 'use'.
It's like comparing apples and meat.
