I’VE TRANSPOSED ‘BLURRED L’ TO THE SAME KEY AS ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ HERE FOR EASE OF PARISON, AND NOTATED THEM A MOR (NO SHARPS OR FLATS) PARTLY FOR SIMPLICY AND PARTLY BEE BOTH BASSL ARE BUILT ON NOT OF THE HOME KEY’S MOR PENTATONIC SLE.

THIS 8-BAR BASS LE IS LOOPED THROUGHOUT THE SONG.WHEN PARED NOTE FOR NOTE LIKE THIS, THE DISSIARY IS OBV. THE BASSL E DIFFERENT NOT, RHYTHMS AND PHRASG OM EACH OTHER. THEY’RE EVEN TAKEN OM DIFFERENT MIL SL. THICKE’S BASS NOT ARE ALL TAKEN OM THE MIXOLYDIAN MO; THE GAYE BASSLE IS BASED AROUND THE PENTATONIC MOR SLE.NOW LET’S LOOK AT THAT WBELL. GAYE THE FOLLOWG WBELL RIFF, WHICH PLAYS PRETTY NSISTENTLY THROUGH THE TRACK. GOT TO GIVE IT UP (MARV GAYE) – 2-BAR WBELL LOOP.THICKE’S SONG HAS MORE WBELL. I’VE NOTATED BOTH PARTS BELOW. THE UPPER ONE (PANNED RIGHT THE MIX) PLAYS A SPECIFIC PATTERN, WH A DIFFERENT RHYTHM OM THE GAYE SONG; THE LOWER ONE (PANNED LEFT) PLAYS AN OFF-BEAT, LIKE A REGGAE ‘SKANK GUAR’ GROOVE. THE LOWER ONE DROPS AND OUT PERDILLY DURG THE TRACK. BLURRED L (ROB THICKE) – 2-BAR WBELL LOOP. COWBELL 1 VARI THIS PATTERN SLIGHTLY ON BEAT 4 AT TIM.THICKE’S WBELLS (ACTUALLY A WBELL AND ANOTHER PERCSN STMENT THAT SOUNDS TO ME MORE LIKE AN ELECTRONIC CLAVE) SYNPATE ON THE 16TH NOT (A SEMIQUAVER GROOVE); GAYE’S SONG IS VERY CLEARLY AN 8 GROOVE. THE ONLY SIARY IS THAT EACH RIFF PLAYS THE FIRST THREE 8TH NOT (QUAVERS) OF THE BAR.———–SO, THOSE ARE THE FACTS, AT LEAST REGARDG POSNAL NOTE CHOIC. NOW LET’S GET BACK TO THE FIRST ACCATN THE PRS RELEASE:THICKE AND PANY NOT ONLY [PIED] GAYE’S DISTCT BASS LE…IF THIS IS TE, AND THICKE’S TEAM ACTUALLY ‘PIED THE BASS LE’, THEN THEY CHANGED MOST OF THE PCH, MOVED LOTS OF NOT AROUND, AND LETED SOME NOT. OR PUT ANOTHER WAY, THEY WROTE AN ORIGAL BASSLE.[THICKE HAS PIED] THE FG FUNK OF THE WBELL ACCENTS.WHAT EXACTLY IS ‘THE FG FUNK’? MOST OF THE ACCENTS ‘BLURRED L’ DO NOT APPEAR ON THE SAME BEATS OF THE BAR AS THE GAYE SONG, WHICH BY ANY REASONABLE RHYTHMIC FN MAK THEM DIFFERENT ACCENTS. OR PUT ANOTHER WAY, THEY ARE AN ORIGAL POSNAL IA.SO IF THE NOTE-TO-NOTE MIL DISSIARI ARE SO OBV, WHY DID THIS PRS RELEASE BOTHER TO ACCE THICKE ET AL OF PLAGIARISM? CLEARLY GAYE’S FAY THOUGHT THEY HAD A SE. I THK THE REASON IS THAT THE TRACKS DO SOUND SIAR. INED, I DON’T DOUBT THICKE’S PRODUCTN TEAM LIBERATELY ED ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ AS A STYLE TEMPLATE TO CREATE THE SOUND AND FEEL OF ‘BLURRED L’. THE STMENTATN AND TEMPOS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, AND THERE ARE MANY NOTABLE ARRANGEMENT CISNS THE GAYE SONG (FOR EXAMPLE, PLAYG THE BASSLE ON AN ELECTRIC PIANO) THAT OCCUR ‘BLURRED L’. IN FACT, THICKE HIMSELF STATED PUBLICLY A GQ TERVIEW THAT HIS TEAM WROTE ‘BLURRED L’ G ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ AS SPIRATN:PHARRELL AND I WERE THE STUD AND I TOLD HIM THAT ONE OF MY FAVORE SONGS OF ALL TIME WAS MARV GAYE’S “GOT TO GIVE IT UP.” I WAS LIKE, “DAMN, WE SHOULD MAKE SOMETHG LIKE THAT, SOMETHG WH THAT GROOVE.” THEN HE STARTED PLAYG A LTLE SOMETHG AND WE LERALLY WROTE THE SONG ABOUT A HALF HOUR AND RERD .

I THK THE ANSWER LI THE FACT THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NCEPT OF THE SONG AND THE SOUND RERDG OF THE SONG. LISTENERS HEAR THE SONG AND THE SOUND RERDG SIMULTANEOLY, BUT MIC DTRY ADM REQUIR THE SONG AND THE SOUND RERDG TO BE TREATED SEPARATELY (BEE THEY ARE SEPARATE PYRIGHTS). THE GAYE AND THICKE RERDGS SOUND VERY SIAR TO EACH OTHER, BUT THEY E DIFFERENT NOT, SO WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO MAKE A SE THAT THE POSN HAS BEEN PLAGIARISED.

[SPOTIFY ID=”SPOTIFY:ER:JOEBENTBATH:PLAYLIST:5FGLQXSR6JJ8PLJHULP9MX” WIDTH=”300″ HEIGHT=”300″ /]——–HERE ARE THE FACTS:BLURRED L IS 120 BEATS PER MUTE.GOT TO GIVE IT UP IS 122 BEATS PER MUTE.BOTH SONGS FEATURE A SYNPATED WBELL PART AND AN ELECTRIC PIANO (GAYE’S BASSLE IS ACTUALLY PLAYED ON A 1976 RMI HARMONIC SYNTHISER).THE VOL MELODI AND LYRICS OF THE SONGS ARE VERY OBVLY DIFFERENT OM ONE ANOTHER.THE SONGS HAVE DIFFERENT CHORD PATTERNS OM EACH OTHER.THE RERDGS ARE DIFFERENT KEYS; ‘BLURRED L’ IS G; ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ IS A.THE TWO BASSL ARE TRANSCRIBED BELOW. I’VE TRANSPOSED ‘BLURRED L’ TO THE SAME KEY AS ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ HERE FOR EASE OF PARISON, AND NOTATED THEM A MOR (NO SHARPS OR FLATS) PARTLY FOR SIMPLICY AND PARTLY BEE BOTH BASSL ARE BUILT ON NOT OF THE HOME KEY’S MOR PENTATONIC SLE. THIS ‘NORMALISATN’ IS TEND TO HIGHLIGHT ANY SIARI THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE DISGUISED BY TRANSCRIBG ‘BLURRED L’ THE ORIGAL KEY – THAT IS, I’M GIVG GAYE’S SI THE BT POSSIBLE CHANCE OF PROVG THEIR ASSERTN THAT THE BASSLE HAS BEEN PIED. GOT TO GIVE IT UP (MARV GAYE) – TRANSCRIBED OM BAR 5 [0:14]. THIS BASSLE EMPLOYS SUBSTANTIAL RHYTHMIC VARIATNS THROUGHOUT THE SONG. BLURRED L (ROB THICKE). THIS 8-BAR BASS LE IS LOOPED THROUGHOUT THE SONG.WHEN PARED NOTE FOR NOTE LIKE THIS, THE DISSIARY IS OBV. THE BASSL E DIFFERENT NOT, RHYTHMS AND PHRASG OM EACH OTHER. THEY’RE EVEN TAKEN OM DIFFERENT MIL SL. THICKE’S BASS NOT ARE ALL TAKEN OM THE MIXOLYDIAN MO; THE GAYE BASSLE IS BASED AROUND THE PENTATONIC MOR SLE.NOW LET’S LOOK AT THAT WBELL. GAYE THE FOLLOWG WBELL RIFF, WHICH PLAYS PRETTY NSISTENTLY THROUGH THE TRACK. GOT TO GIVE IT UP (MARV GAYE) – 2-BAR WBELL LOOP.THICKE’S SONG HAS MORE WBELL. I’VE NOTATED BOTH PARTS BELOW. THE UPPER ONE (PANNED RIGHT THE MIX) PLAYS A SPECIFIC PATTERN, WH A DIFFERENT RHYTHM OM THE GAYE SONG; THE LOWER ONE (PANNED LEFT) PLAYS AN OFF-BEAT, LIKE A REGGAE ‘SKANK GUAR’ GROOVE. THE LOWER ONE DROPS AND OUT PERDILLY DURG THE TRACK. BLURRED L (ROB THICKE) – 2-BAR WBELL LOOP. COWBELL 1 VARI THIS PATTERN SLIGHTLY ON BEAT 4 AT TIM.THICKE’S WBELLS (ACTUALLY A WBELL AND ANOTHER PERCSN STMENT THAT SOUNDS TO ME MORE LIKE AN ELECTRONIC CLAVE) SYNPATE ON THE 16TH NOT (A SEMIQUAVER GROOVE); GAYE’S SONG IS VERY CLEARLY AN 8 GROOVE. THE ONLY SIARY IS THAT EACH RIFF PLAYS THE FIRST THREE 8TH NOT (QUAVERS) OF THE BAR.———–SO, THOSE ARE THE FACTS, AT LEAST REGARDG POSNAL NOTE CHOIC. NOW LET’S GET BACK TO THE FIRST ACCATN THE PRS RELEASE:THICKE AND PANY NOT ONLY [PIED] GAYE’S DISTCT BASS LE…IF THIS IS TE, AND THICKE’S TEAM ACTUALLY ‘PIED THE BASS LE’, THEN THEY CHANGED MOST OF THE PCH, MOVED LOTS OF NOT AROUND, AND LETED SOME NOT. OR PUT ANOTHER WAY, THEY WROTE AN ORIGAL BASSLE.[THICKE HAS PIED] THE FG FUNK OF THE WBELL ACCENTS.WHAT EXACTLY IS ‘THE FG FUNK’? MOST OF THE ACCENTS ‘BLURRED L’ DO NOT APPEAR ON THE SAME BEATS OF THE BAR AS THE GAYE SONG, WHICH BY ANY REASONABLE RHYTHMIC FN MAK THEM DIFFERENT ACCENTS. OR PUT ANOTHER WAY, THEY ARE AN ORIGAL POSNAL IA.SO IF THE NOTE-TO-NOTE MIL DISSIARI ARE SO OBV, WHY DID THIS PRS RELEASE BOTHER TO ACCE THICKE ET AL OF PLAGIARISM? CLEARLY GAYE’S FAY THOUGHT THEY HAD A SE. I THK THE REASON IS THAT THE TRACKS DO SOUND SIAR. INED, I DON’T DOUBT THICKE’S PRODUCTN TEAM LIBERATELY ED ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ AS A STYLE TEMPLATE TO CREATE THE SOUND AND FEEL OF ‘BLURRED L’. THE STMENTATN AND TEMPOS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, AND THERE ARE MANY NOTABLE ARRANGEMENT CISNS THE GAYE SONG (FOR EXAMPLE, PLAYG THE BASSLE ON AN ELECTRIC PIANO) THAT OCCUR ‘BLURRED L’. IN FACT, THICKE HIMSELF STATED PUBLICLY A GQ TERVIEW THAT HIS TEAM WROTE ‘BLURRED L’ G ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ AS SPIRATN:PHARRELL AND I WERE THE STUD AND I TOLD HIM THAT ONE OF MY FAVORE SONGS OF ALL TIME WAS MARV GAYE’S “GOT TO GIVE IT UP.” I WAS LIKE, “DAMN, WE SHOULD MAKE SOMETHG LIKE THAT, SOMETHG WH THAT GROOVE.” THEN HE STARTED PLAYG A LTLE SOMETHG AND WE LERALLY WROTE THE SONG ABOUT A HALF HOUR AND RERD . THE WHOLE THG WAS DONE A UPLE HOURS…ROB THICKE TERVIEW, 7TH MAY 2013 (TERVIEWED BY STELS PHILI FOR GQ MAGAZE). THE RMI HARMONIC SYNTHISER, ON WHICH MARV GAYE PLAYED THE BASSLE FOR ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP.’SO HOW DID THIS SUATN GET SO OUT OF HAND WHEN WAS CLEAR OM THE START THAT THE POSNS E DIFFERENT NOT AND RHYTHMS OM EACH OTHER? I THK THE ANSWER LI THE FACT THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NCEPT OF THE SONG AND THE SOUND RERDG OF THE SONG. LISTENERS HEAR THE SONG AND THE SOUND RERDG SIMULTANEOLY, BUT MIC DTRY ADM REQUIR THE SONG AND THE SOUND RERDG TO BE TREATED SEPARATELY (BEE THEY ARE SEPARATE PYRIGHTS). THE GAYE AND THICKE RERDGS SOUND VERY SIAR TO EACH OTHER, BUT THEY E DIFFERENT NOT, SO WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO MAKE A SE THAT THE POSN HAS BEEN PLAGIARISED. AND OF URSE, BLURRED L DO NOT SAMPLE ANY OF THE D OM GAYE’S 1977 SOUND RERDG.SO TO MAKE A SUCCSFUL ACCATN OF PYRIGHT GEMENT, GAYE’S SI WOULD HAVE HAD TO ARGUE THAT THE PRODUCTN ‘FEEL’ (OR AS THE KG AND BALLOW PRS RELEASE PUTS , ‘CHOICE DNA’) OF ‘GOT TO GIVE IT UP’ ULD ATTRACT PYRIGHT. ANY LEGAL ACTN WOULD PROBABLY HAVE REQUIRED THE URT (WH THE HELP OF MILOGISTS) TO FE EXACTLY HOW THIS ‘CHOICE DNA’ MANIFTED SELF THE RERDG, ORR TO DISCS SIARI. THE ACT OF PUTTG AN ELECTRIC PIANO TOGETHER WH A WBELL AND A 120BPM DIS BEAT WOULD NEED TO HAVE BEEN JUDGED A CREATIVE ACT SELF, MAKG STMENTATN AND POSSIBLY EVEN GENRE TO PROTECTABLE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. WHICH WOULD HAVE HAD MASSIVE IMPLITNS FOR FUTURE CREATORS OF MIC.I’M OFF NOW. MY DELOREAN IS HEADG TO 1885, WHICH IS WHEN I VENTED THE SNARE DM BACKBEAT.74 COMMENTS
