@@duckmercy11 that’s not the point, if u go back u will learn that most songs are made with the same chords and progressions, I feel like if the lyrics and melody are different then it shouldn’t matter. It’s one thing to copy a song word for word. But it’s impossible for all the songs released daily to not get songs that sound the same in arrangement. Cz in this case almost all the rap songs I hear nowadays the beats sound the same.

Pachelbel’s descendants would own the music industry if this suit went the other way 😂

[@angelainamarie9656]

Yeah there's a lot of people could have sued Marvin Gaye's to estate for this very same thing. There are only 7 Notes in a diatonic scale and in any mode that can only add up to seven different cords that can be used and there are only a few progressions that really work musically because of how Theory works. Anyone even faintly versed in how music theory functions would laugh at this suit.

[@BlakWiseCracker]

Please y’all use to stealing Afro Americans music and dared them to complain. Elvis Presley was one of the biggest bigots and thief.

[@thecomicsarereal]

It's literally one of the most used and successful chord progressions in pop music history. The fact that Marvin Gaye's descendants tried to shakedown Ed Sheeran for 8 years over this and that it didn't get tossed out of court would drive any artist crazy. Are they going to turn around and sue the Beatles or Elton John next? Literally every pop artist uses this chord progression and beat. Totally idiotic.
