    But what about ____? A lot of comments are pulling in other comparisons and you know what? Yeah, you’re right. There are plenty of other examples on songs I mentioned and ones I didn’t!

    I’m most interested in this middle ground – people who ONLY know Bruno have a whole world of music history to explore! And people who only know the references and say “they don’t make music like they used to!” Well, Bruno does 😂

    Like Bruno or hate him, you’ll love the new episode of Sound Proof, my weekly radio show. I’ll connect the dots from the past and present through the Romantic and beyond!

    Also, I’d love it if you watched the whole video 😂

    You are not lying I can tell with 2 or 3 notes where I heard The originals now Tupac cover about 3 or more music beats with his songs but he got permission but to make a song and turn it into your song without giving credit or permission that stealing you just can’t cover other people Legendary hits and pass it off as your own
    I knew it wasn’t legal if he love this sounds and beat or the artists why won’t he ask first but all his music is a coverage of other artists music and I thought he got permission when I heard that Robin Thick song I knew immediately it was Marvin and it was a hit all over I remember because I was in college came home from the Bay Area to New Orleans and Marvin’s song could be heard all over New Orleans from the French Quarter to every bar and club in each ward day and nights because the bar and open during the day

    You ppl have to understand that he isn’t in control of his own music. It would always be nice to mention how his team of ppl ripped off Angie Stone with Uptown Funk. Unfortunately Bruno is nothing but a talented puppet and it’s a shame however this is what has been happening in mainstream music for year’s. I mean the same happened with Robbin Thick.

    Bruno is a musical genius.
    Look, he is pulling out styles that are over 50 years old and makes new ones of his own😂😂
    They sound familiar but its just only sometimes, in a nutshell, what do you expect? a snare and a kick beat on a certain tempo? do you think its the first time they released it😂😂?, this is a very suspicious trend of bruno being framed, which is proven to be true; he is doing a hard game where he goes to 50 years back and starts making brand new music for us… which works great and more than enough to pay his debt😂

    AGAIN , MUSICAL GENIUS 🌠
    The funniest part?? he is the one who would go to history who started this trend which all the artists started following the trend, but still thankful for all of them and bruno, again, GREAT.

    I think we should go back to the way copyright worked when it was established. 14 years with a possible addition 14 years but only if the original author specifically requests the extension. 28 years is enough time to get most of the money out of the less successful songs and the huge songs have made "enough" money. Think of what would be done if everything from 1998 and earlier was public domain now?

    I new he's piggy backing not only in the greatest names of the past and also all the moves of Little Richard, or Michael Jackson. He has the talent to perform well. That's why a lot of black people are also upset for attributing to himself cultural assets that he doesn't give retribution and don't belong to him.

    You’re mostly right about a lot of these songs, but that song together by Ciara is originally by the Intruders Did you know that Mr. know it all? I didn’t know Bootsie Collin’s played on one of those songs leave the door open and I did not know that.

    First of all excuse my broken English. I think I maybe know what Bruno Mars is doing. I think Bruno Mars producers use AI services like suno, then they recreate in the studio those AI generated songs. AI songs always sound like songs that already exist from real world artists. I don't know, maybe I'm just drunk, but those are my two cents.

    😂😂 You made an excellent case here for music being a forever collaboration of the past and what's happening now. It's called pop evolution. Bruno is kind of a genius on what he does. Good watch. Cheers! 🎧🎚🎛🎙⏹️👍

    I've been seeing so many videos like this this past days since bruno released his album. It made me realized that with music having 12 musical notes in millions and millions of artist – something need to be changed. The only man trying to fight the oversaturated-edm-electronic-pop in a generation of kids, adults and young adults with short term memory and attention span problem needs to be protected. Sorry not sorry. And to think I find his lyrics cheesy.
