The Weeknd COPIED Another Song?! Out Of Time vs. Midnight Pretenders

[@RxPow]

It’s called a sample

[@mikejones1298]

Its called making shitty unoriginal music.

[@vincentgonzales3312]

@@mikejones1298no it’s called a sample and I doubt your mark ass can make something better let alone something original so why you talking 🤷🤡🖕

[@ambientwishwalker8908]

​@@babygravy7 Still unoriginal tho. He isn't DJ Krono who can turn a lame generic electronic song like 'Dancin' into something super funky and pleasing to hear.

Why u using the MoistCritical voice 💀

[@politekale5242]

lmao I was really bored

[@heliocracy]

Original way way better

[@elishebameade1441]

Yep...From the 1st time i heard 'this' Weekend's song, i immediately remembered Tomoko' song (Midnight Pretenders)...I grew up listening to Japanese City Pop songs (in it's heyday 70-80s)...Many modern songs are now imitating previous songs aye😅

[@devilsephiroth9000]

To be fair he's sampled several artist if you have been paying attention.
The Romantics, Tears for Fears, Kavinsky, Tomoko Aran

[@hyperreal]

Yes hes fairly unoriginal

[@AjaxDGonzo]

It’s a sample but to be fair the weekend really didn’t do anything better with the sample, the best thing he did was bring people to the original

[@rachelbegmusic]

Midnight Pretenders is such a good song . I like Weekend but i love the Midnight Pretenders more here .

[@Chirrack]

You Can’t Copy a Classic, You can Only Sample It, That’s What He did

[@Shishboom]

Taking an entire instrumental isnt exactly sampling but the weeknd has the rights to make his own version with the beat and there are very little changes so is not really a huge deal but i would have rather seen the weeknd change the beat a little bit and keep it similar which is sampling

[@MKIVD]

I mean he does a good job for referrals to the original ones 😂
For those who are quite confused, everything will be answered once we know if Weeknd asked permission to sample it because sampling for commercial purposes isn't that simple esp if the original piece ain't public domain

[@HostiaRecords]

Used that sample for a new song, not copied

[@Mariya_500]

When i first heard of it from a store, I was pretty shocked, but at least they give credit :3

[@Inku-Inku]

He SAMPLED it, not copied.

[@lapildorademorfeo]

They use the same base because it is a collaboration with lyricists Tomoko Aran

[@jasonjiang3971]

Out Of Time by The Weeknd also sounds kind of like I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) by Hall & Oates, V.S.O.P. by Above The Law, I'll Do Anything by Heavy D, Sunrise by Simply Red, Can't Go For That by 2 Chainz, and many more that I can think of.

[@geraldong6792]

The weeknd has a rep. He won't risk his career without clearing it from the original.

[@ShatteredAutomaton]

I literally just Heard Midnight Pretenders. They sampled and chopped it

[@forTehMemes]

It’s called a sample smooth brain

[@hyperreal]

Weeknd meat rider?

[@Chr1s012]

It’s a sample

[@Madmax93898]

Hey changed nothing XD

[@EdgarDavidEscoto]

I noticed since the first time i heard Out Of Time and I wonder… was this some sort of tribute or is it just a copy?

[@amybazan8924]

Es un tributo, además pidió permiso para usar la melodía, si no hubiera pedido permiso lo hubieran denunciado apenas salía

[@kaab4029]

It's called a sample

[@mr.robinson6210]

Just a sample with credits aknowledgent to Tomoko Aran… clickbait

[@Youtube2Premuim-kz7ds]

Weekend changed nothing.

[@kauavk]

What? The whole lyrics are changed. This is a sample, not a copy.

[@prinzdenax]

POV: You don’t know what sampling is

[@zlique]

Yes, OGs know

[@weirddeershytt]

Bro is running outta time now

[@Thingything.]

I thought I heard that track before

[@freebee9172]

Me too I mean not the song but the sound ,the music is familiar to me and I think it belongs to a band in the 90's or 20's could be Moby or massive attack I can't tell exactly

[@somsundarchaudhuri7766]

Original is way better

[@steelblake]

its just the sample, all tho midnight pretenders is better

[@suto_05]

also L I S A , great song btw

[@damianista]

Aguante TomoKO !!

[@nordyg4837]

It's sample that song.....

[@user-gq6um1uh4i]

Este video tiene que tener mas apollo

[@user-kn2im3yc6m]

So..?

[@DanielJimenez-vq5gw]

Samples are lame to me because they basically steal the best and hardest part of the song (the composition) and they add their terrible lyrics that don't match at all.

[@JF-qo7ws]

then u prob didn't listen to som e good sampling yet. now look I know that this was pretty lazy but I promise u there some good sampling out there u just havent found it yet.

[@percthirtington4588]

You know what a sample is. Stop clickbaiting.

[@marcelobarreto9927]

Yes!

[@axr973]

BRUH IT'S CALLED SAMPLING 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Mourik131]

Original is beter

[@EfrenReyes-ef3do]

bro doesnt know what "sample" is pshh lol @ u

[@namangupta3554]

He has sampled several other songs I think this new song sounds horrible with the sample but thats my opinon

[@knowssports1508]

This isn’t called copying

[@Tarayuteiei]

Buy or copy ?

[@janeflorencebr]

Ofc I knew I love that song, I love pop city style
