Why are people giving double standards to Flo Rida for sampling when Kanye built his entire career with samples? There's no difference, talent or not. The song is catchy, stop overthinking it.

I'm guessing that it's generally believed that Kanye did his samples dignity, while Flo Rida incorporated oral sex and "tonight I'm gonna get me some, get me some," into them. I'm not too familiar with Kanye's music, though, so idk.

Yeah, I think Kanye's samples don't get the harsh criticism because he actually uses them in a clever way that doesn't come off as just a cheap copycat way of getting a catchy hook. Although as I said, I don't even think the sample in this song is a big deal. Maybe the RR sample can be argued as cheap, but this one has it's own hook without relying on the sample.

Don't Trust Me has overtaken this. Bad sign that Sugar can't beat out a track from an unknown group with the same general sound.

This is being held back by Right Round which still has over 9000 spins. I don't think PD's are ready to switch to this yet.

This song has burned on me at warp speed! I went from really liking it to almost hating it in about a week.

Flo Rida needs to follow these two empty rip-offs with something somewhat substantial. Actually, I listened to R.O.O.T.S and Rewind on Rhapsody today, and they're an improvement from his other stuff. Either one would make a good third single.

I like Flo, but there's something about him that prevents me from fully being a fan of his. It's like he hasnt established his own style or place in the industry or something..idk.

No one listens to Flo Rida because they appreciate him for his "artistry". He makes fun music. People enjoy it. Simple as that.
