Jay 37,346 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 A rap song that samples an existing popular song is not a re-write of that song. And personally, I'd say "Fantastic Voyage" and "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumptin' New)" are way more his bigger hits, though I get Gangsta's Paradise had more crossover appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs. Pots!❤💔 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/angela-lansbury-dead-murder-she-wrote-1235239215/ We saw her in Blythe Spirit in London a few years ago and she was wonderful. At the opposite end of her career, we also watched Gaslight recently which is a chilling film and she was amazing in it. Ditto for the Manchurian Candidate. Very sad news, the finale of Mary Poppins Returns will now be even more poignant. What a wonderful actress (and lovely person by all counts) who will be sorely missed.
