Don't worry, we still have four vowel sounds that aren't copyrighted yet.

Edit: Oh wait, nvm
Five vowels*

That's literally kendrick singing all the voices hahaha
Supreme Buffalo Japanese, are you ?
These lawsuits are becoming more and more common... and more and more stupid.
honestly I think the lawsuit is more about getting attention
just imagine if this becomes a headline on a popular magazine, the popularity of that song is going to shoot up, regardless of whether it is sampled or not...
Stealing art has become common so...
They both definitley idiots.
@@shinji1264 i mean i guess me making weird sounds is art now so guess i'll copyright that thanks.

I'm Ethiopian... The "Elelelele" chant is mostly done by Ethiopian Karens in Church. I hate the chant.
Sidenote: It's called a ululation.
Small addition: Replace the E’s with U’s and you get the VICTORYYY SCREEECH! ULULULULULULU! (That’s ALSO an ululation! A quite literal one!)
Jay Esta. Fayza karen’s lol
I really hope these arguments get brought forth in court. I'm assuming whoever wrote the song put it in because it's African.
Ethiopian karens HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Middle eastern moms do this all the time at weddings.
If you were the defense in court, Yeasayer would lose immediately
You forget when the weeknd stole starboy?

@@fightermma yea I think the weeknd just eqd out the highs on that one and then put his acapella over it.
I love these anti-clickbait thumbnails
this is actually ridiculous that it even had to be talked about if you had a case for something like that then all music would be done someone there's probably 100s of African songs with that chant on it ive heard it in church a bunch of times
So they claim to have invented singing "uh"
Actually the africans did, but not copyrighted so too bad lol...fukin copyright law.
Im all in for suing copycats and ilegal samples but suing for an "uuuuuuuu" its pretty dumb, like i can make that sound and record it and now im gonna get sued?
Worst Producer no because it’d be an original recording
I hope Kendrick and The Weekend see this and use it in court
Even easier. Share a random wedding video of a relative every East African has in there homes. The aunties keep doing this chant 😭. The Weeknd grew up in the community so he definitely heard this chant at every gathering. The whole lawsuit is hilarious.
Props to you for showing the details of the "sample". The sounds are absolutely similar, but definitely not sampled. I feel like Abel and Kendrick hadn't even heard the Yeasayer song
Abel and Kendrick didn't make the beat regardless
I mean it's a relatively popular indie song, so I wouldn't be so sure about them not having heard it at all, although I don't think it has enough resemblance to be considered problematic
2:39 turkeys from hell!
You deserve 1million+ subs if you ask me. (Congrats on the 200k!)

XD who are these bots that you used to give yourself all of these likes?
We just need to make sampling legal imo. If it's transformative in nature then there should be no good reason to say that a sound used in another song is claimed only to that song
Sampling is legal, but only in certain cases where everything has to be cleared
DRAGNFLY Im aware. I don’t like that system. Because it sets a precedent that certain sounds can be owned and severely limits the creativity of music
DRAGNFLY Although honestly I can see the frustration of using samples as a way to just rip a whole piece of a song I don’t see how someone can claim to own sound organized in a certain way either and I think it’s fucked up to try to claim that
Nah
but then you have artists work hard for years in order to hone their ability to play instruments and compose music who are making songs, and then someone else can just take that work and use it in their own song, and make money off of it? That seems super unfair.
If you want a certain part in your song, why can't you just make it yourself? Why don't you just go play the guitar, keyboard, drums and sing that part? oh you're not skilled enough? that's why you pay the person who *does* have that skill money so you can use their work in yours.
Tiny little samples that are heavily edited? sure, but people sampling whole large pieces of other songs should have to pay the rights, because they are profiting off of someone else's hard work.
Why's it sound like you're a british dude trying to mask his voice with an american accent
Because he's neither.
Hes irish

Good video as always brother. Love your content.
Love your videos
Big Ups 200k!!!🌊🔥🌊🔥🌊
If you get an email from a lawyer, ask for money first
Detective Dylan has done it again folks. All you needed was a bit of research and common sense
I swear yeasayer song dont come close was in one of the endings of GTA V
As an ethiopian who has been in the country for about 19 years I can confirm that this is a very common thing to hear in churches. I knew it immediately when I heard the song at first
when dylan doesn't have any video ideas, but wants to acknowledge 200k subs...
Brilliant Analysis Dyl.... ✊🏾Rock On
Loolooloo, I've got some apples, loolooloo, you've got some too.

I love your voice man
if you truly want to know if this is a sample try phase inversion, match up the phase and the sound should disappear if it's the same.
Trance Emerson well you need to apply the same effects first though

0:00 listen up, here's a story. About......
Thank you. Awesome analysis that all the news outlets should’ve done on Day One but didn’t. 👍🏼
I came to this video just to watch the ad cause his thumbnail was enough but I aint taking without giving
dat adam neely type thumbnail tho...
how to make dnb soon dylan? omg that would be SO!~~~ cool!!!!
yooo dillan can u do a video on mixing vocals? thanks man!
Here late but, '''court documents now say the plaintiffs (in this case, Yeasayer) have "confirmed to their satisfaction that no copyright infringement occurred [against Yeasayer] as The Weeknd created the soundtrack for Black Panther."
Damn dylan is becoming handsome 😎
Part of the OST in Detective Pikachu ripped off one of my productions, but they moved a couple notes around and pitched it down so, basically too bad 😂 it’d be very hard to sue someone in terms of music
Start a gofundme maybe?
Christian Fernandez na it’s less about finances and more about being unwinnable, the always change juuuust enough to be “different”
Just make a RUclips video and get free publicity if it’s really that close.
I'm curious now, what song?
200k subs jeeesus christ thats jumped a bit hasnt it
I think there exist all stuff (of chords) and so we only can combine stuff...
How ever I wish you and everyone fun (to make music).
Have a nice 》WEEKEND《 everyone 🍹☕ ;)
pls make how to burial
The garage section of his VR video is probably close enough imo
Throw the lawsuit out. That’s BS. They sound nothing alike.
Rest in peace, the yaesayers are about to sue this guy now...
The beginning sound like something madeon would have make lol
💯
Pls make a tutorial how to au5 pls pls pls
What did you do bad that youtube didn't show me the video when you uploaded it?
This guy is a genius
🤙🏻
How can you copystrike a sustained vocal note
Original recording does belong to someone else, that's how.
Lmbo! They really tried it! I’m Ethiopian and know we use that sound in celebration. Definitely didn’t come from some Yeasayers 😂😅 Glad someone else pointed that out as well.
wait what did Fantano say?
And now we just wait for this video to be copyright claimed... smh
Elelelelele
does spleeter finally have a gui?!
I don't think it should be illegal, but what you conclude is exactly what frank dukes does: creates instrumental tracks, some of which contain elements that sound very very similar to existing works, for hip hop producers to sample in their tracks to avoid the jig of clearing and paying for "established" samples. I can see (hear?) why yeasayer would be pissed, but on balance of fairness, frank dukes is a talented guy who has created other tracks that are wholly original, with some simply harkening to an established musical aesthetic (which uh... is illegal i guess now, in light of the "got to give it up" lawsuit)
Even IF he sampled the track this is a DANGEROUS precedent to set. Sampling an artist without credit is still kinda a slippery slope I guess but artist have been sampling shit from each other for so long. Its part of the culture at this point.
Can someone explain to me why people are spending their lives trying to find miniscule petty opportunities to sue other artists, wasting the time they could've been making music? Especially in this case, where it should be obvious for the author that it was not the same sample. And even if it was the same - what's the difference? In my opinion, it would be fair use, as the song woudln't be created around that sound at all, it would only be used as a tiny detail.
I hate our current copyright law. If you are successful, someone could file a case against you (and have a decent chance of winning) even if you weren't using ANYTHING else rather than your own work. No guarantees here.
Thanks Dylan for bringing this up.
@@eye776 But how damaging it could for one's reputation and brand! It's not like it's some noname artist doing that. Or is it "any publicity is good publicity" situation?
U should active link option in alterboy the sample would sound different
WOT
I have a feeling yeasayer did this for publicity cause any musician can tell its different...and ive never heard of Yeasayer until this soo..
You should give them a listen. I liked Yeasayer waaaayyyy before I even thought about giving Weeknd or Kendrick a chance.
Elelelele is Ethiopian and Eritrean way of expressing excitement, happiness and public cheering. I think The Weeknd used that culture.
I can hear sound pressure waves in your song, just like my song. See you in court, buddy!
This global Copyright Law System needs to change quickly...now that the world is united. People are exploiting the silly system
Yeasayer is trying to be relevant. The sound that The Weeknd sounds just like him and is def not a sample
Yeasayer actually officially broke up a few months ago, so I doubt that
Not relevancy just a cash grab
bro the band literally doesn't exist anymore lmao
LMFAO i guess you just listen to pop music right?
Sucks because I actually love their albums Odd Blood and Fragrant World (was just listening to Odd Blood), so it's really particularly disappointing to me that they'd waste their time here
Onomatopoeias are about to get copywritten soon, watch.
Next Vid:
This Wobble sounds more like aaaaa and this from Skrillex sounds more like UUUUUUAAAAAA ..... pretty much the same
" I only Wana be with you!"

Ted
When he says he likes some of Yeasayers songs he means "ONE" and "Don't Come Close"
Mainly the last one because he chose A
I actually really like Yeasayer's stuff, a lot of it took multiple listens to really grow on me but they've put out some amazing stuff. Sucks that some person working under their name felt it'd be worth their time to pursue this lawsuit though.
Music is Music. There are only 12 notes in the musical alphabet. It’s about making something different than what other people have done, using others solely as an inspiration. Unless someone makes a note for note copy then you can’t sue them.
good faith watermelon
2:50 try pitchmap :)
"elelelelelelele" is not a sample from the yeasayer, it is an expression used by ethiopians when some thing good like a miracle happens as the weeknd is ethiopian, he used it in the song
I got unsubscribed, and this showed up as a "recommendation" notification. What???
Thank you! I'm decent at audio editing, but the rock band doesn't have a strong case.
5 year old me who dressed as a native american for Halloween wants to sue Yeasayer.
nadeshot?
2:17 kylo ren?
Feels more like he pitched up the sample and overlapped it with his voice
The chorus doesn't sound like it's making that "Ah-la-la-la" sound in the background (to my ears at least)
Finding it strange they so happen to listen to that specific track after two years, though
The Pray For Me sample does sound pitched up so I actually tried repitching the Yeasayer sample but they already start on the same note so pitching it just makes it sound off.
Try yourself pitching it up and see what happens :) Its not pitched up at all
late nite video xxx
0:53 When #Dylan going to his first class of #Karnatic music class (AKA Indian tred. Music ) 😁 ..!lol
People from #india
Hahaha
All those lawsuits are just a way for some irrelevant artist to feed one known artist's popularity.
For example the Katy Perry lawsuit. Nobody had ever heard of christian rapper flame but now that they had their stupid lawsuit his song racked up so many plays on Spotify and a lot more people know him.
It's a way of advertisement. Like for example I have never heard about yeasayer before and now I'm tempted to check out his song and compare it to the weekend
Yooooo
Nice Drop Keep UP. Please can U Make DR.Fresch - Gangsta Drop Remake (U Can Use Unison Bass House Samples For Presets) I U Can Please Upload it.
Public domain free to use! Lol
I swear this is fair use as its transformative.
Agreed, even if it was a sample, who tf cares? It's such a tiny part of the song.
Ok bruh?
i forgot who yeasayer is
Well, the first time I heard this, I thought Yeasayer. Also, I felt the same way about Blinding Lights. It’s just a copied vibe and tone. Not a sample. Yeasayer should be happy about that.
They dont sound the same, you are correct. The band broke up so it's probably some random person with access trying to grab some cash
resolution: no
you kinda look and sound like sega bodega
I think kendrick and weeknd should file a lawsuit against Yeasayer for making a stupid song and trying to sue 'pray for me'!
so but like couldn't you shift the formants? I mean it's obviously a different sound but still, this isn't exactly "proof" as much as it's more evidence against it being a sample.
That’s my comment lol
It’s not a direct sample but It’s obviously the same chord
