So today i was listening to the music channel on tv when i heard this song that i really really loved. OR SO I THOUGHT> i thought it was the song "wassup" by wiz khalifa, but it was actually turn my swag on by soulja boy. SB just stole the tune from Wiz's song

Now i havnt researched it but i could be wrong and it could be the other way around - but someone stole someones song and didnt credit them for it

Ahh don't be too hard. But there's a reason why you don't have to pay for Wiz Khalifa's mixtape Flight School. It is a mixtape which is really an ambiguous term but usually an artist will sample another artists beat and make up their own verse.

Since an artist can't just use another artist's beat and make a profit on it, mixtapes are free. And as of lately they are becoming the new way to advertise for an upcoming album.

Regardless, Soulja Boy is still a tool.

artists don't own the song's rights, their producers do.  he could have easily gave him permission to use it or sold it to him
