does anyone know any songs/artists that have been influenced by the American style of music... but at the same time still has korean-ness? (no such word I know

But I'm trying to explain)

Please Please Please I need your helps guys! ><!!!

Most of Shinhwa songs are influenced and I even got proof that Eric plagerizes their rap song's lyrics.

Get Ya by Lee Hyori

Most of Big Bang songs too.

Se7en's song Passion also has the same rap used by JLo..I forgot which Jlo song it was.

Hopefully these helps

-What I say, most of the time....It's right...So just accept it and save it into your system-

Her producer did, not her, there's a difference.

I find it interesting that NO ONE talks about how Rain's "I'm Coming" completely ripped off of Petey Pablo's Freak A Leak. But yea, that's as Americanized as you can get.

What??
Those songs sound nothing alike
I love both of those songs and they do not sound alike.
The beat is prolly as close as it gets
The melody is totally different

As for thr Hyori incident

yes the producer was wrong, but don't forget she lied about the similarities
plus she is the artist and she sand the song and she knew so she gets some blame.

hold on, I'm not getting into this again.

anyways...I hate to say this because I love Se7en so much and I hate Justin Timberlake soo much

but Se7en's "Oh My Girl" sounds like JT's "Rock Your Body"
but it doesnt bother me that much because JT knocked off an entire Prince album and everyone acts like he is so unique.

And yes Se7en's songs are americanised
because Se7en is an r&b singer, a style that came from african americans, but he does a damn good job at it and I like how YG acknowledges there appreciation in african american culture, makes me proud and warms my heart.

and someone said Snoop Dogg knocked off Fly Gentle Men
in another thread, which he did not, Fly Gentle Men's music was inspired by Snoop Dogg.

Anyways

Big Bang's La La La sounds like B2K's Uh Huh
also

SE7EN has a part of J.Lo's Jenny From the Block...

A lot of K-Pop is Americanized though, lots of Big Bang, and SE7EN and...just a lot o___o

Speaking of americanised

okay I'm not a fan of DBSK anymore, but my pal showed sum caps
from there new video and I was shocked because they had african american girls in the video

How cool is that?

Cuz that's not something you would see in a k-pop..well actually
I think it was on of there j-pop videos but still.

I just thought it was cool.

anyways..did that kinda relate lol??
I dunno.

But K-pop is not the only americanised industry, look at C-pop.

okie more K-pop songs that sound american

listen to Wheesung, his music actually sounds like early 1990's
r&b.

The first set of notes (there are 7 i believe?), past the intro part.

HAHAHAHA. what amuses me more is when people haven't actually heard the real 1,2 step and think she's a GENIUS for coming up with that song...
