I recently heard Fort Minor’s Where’d You Go and thought it was pretty powerful and effective, until I realized it was the exact same song as Where Is The Love by The Black Eyed Peas. Same chord progression, same downtempo well produced beats, same simple female vocal chorus, same good slow rapping that overlaps with the chorus.
Original Where’d You Go:
Original Where Is The Love:
Some mashups from some others who have realized the same thing:
Better – how’d he isolate the vocals?
Worse pitch shifting and loop points, but uses more of Where Is The Love Chorus
