FeFe Dobson ripping off Clapton

[Ragin]

Those FeFe fans, what do you think of FeFe ripping off Eric Clapton's "In The Way That You Use It" during "Rock It Till You Drop It" without any mention of Clapton in any liner notes? No credit is given whatsoever.

I thought the song was cool and all, but I was really surprised when lyrics and music were only credited to FeFe and her team. I then expected to at least see a liner note acknowledging inspiration or something since the main guitar riff and even some of the lyrics are identical to Clapton's song. Nothing.

What's up with that?

I listened to that song the other day, I'd say it's one of the best ones on the album.

Didn't know it was Clapton they were sampling.

I heard it right away, but then I listen to Clapton a lot too. That song is from the Color of Money soundtrack.

I think I like that song about the best on the album because Ton Loc adds just the right touch to it.

A lot of her songs have parts that go back to "Hotel California," "Stairway to Heaven," and other classic songsd it seems.

The big deal is that if you use direct lyrics and music from another song, you should give credit to the person that wrote that song. She doesn't.

Listen to Clapton's "It's In The Way That You Use It" then that song, and then note no mention of Clapton anywhere in any of FeFe's liner notes. That's really not too cool, and if he wanted to, I'm sure he could sue over it.

I'm sure he could but if he hasn't already than it is quite possible he could care less. Kinda like me

More likely is that he has no idea.

I think you'd care if someone took one of your ideas and passed it off as their own giving you no credit.

For all we know Eric signed off on the project himself. Maybe it was an oversight in the liner notes Not everyone out there is trying to screw people over

He easily could have. Again, I was just very surprised to see no mention. I still don't think that part is too cool.

Sort of like how the Chinese duo T-Rush did a Chinese version of Angela Via's "Girl Playa #1" and Angela didn't even know about it until I informed her! Same music, too.
