G-Dragon: Publicity Stunt?
This article is member-submitted and does not represent Soompi in any way.
Attention: I am not a professional reporter on Kpop news. I'm just going to keep editing this post, and I'm unlikely to blog about any other type of news. This is just my opinion that has gotten attention from Soompi as a featured article. If you're going to try and rub it in my face with G-Dragon this, G-Dragon that, find a real fan that will react the way you want them to. I just enjoy music as it is. The only thing that bothers me is how people allow one incident to taint something originally pure, and won't let it go. There's a reason I call this a publicity stunt...
I'll just finish this 'article' with a quote I find most appropriate, which can be found at the bottom.
Reasons I believe Heartbreaker isn't plagiarized.
First tip is that G-Dragon isn't an idiot - he is well aware of the music world. He must know that others will recognize the beat, if he does copy an entire song. Plagiarism of music is often found through songs that are lesser known (such as Viva La Vida vs. Creaky Boards).
Second tip off is Teddy and YG's involvement. Since Teddy is a respected recording artist, and a friend of GD, I highly doubt he would've morally allowed GD to blatantly plagiarize such a popular song. Taeyang, Daesung, TOP and Seungri would all loose respect for their leader.
Third reason: GD has officially acquitted on each account of accused plagiarism. With Lies, Crazy Dog and Fool, the original artist have come out to say that it is either not copied, credited sampling, or coincidence. After all, you can only have so many progressions in a song before things begin to sound repetitive.
Fourth* reason: After letting the news of Heartbreaker come out, GD releases a FULL SONG called Gossip Man which is about his issues with plagiarism and being scrutinized under public eye. So obviously, GD has something planned out.
If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong and I will be sorely disappointed in GD, and he probably just missed one of the greatest advertising schemes in history. Once Heartbreaker comes out, everyone will rush to watch and bump that song into the number one spot. It won't be just GDragon fans, it will be his haters, curious people and music companies. It's the ultimate exposure. After all, there's no better way to spread the news than controversy. It's the way many artists (painting wise) get popular.
We'll see.
We have three days.
edit
“With this reason, we cannot say that the song plagiarised that of ‘Heartbreaker’. There is so many cases of artistes getting inspiration from one another lately, If we are going to rule the song plagiarism just because it has some parts which feels the same, then many artistes and producers will fall into serious censorship.” - Warner Korea
Haters will find the similarities more obvious, lovers will be blind to the similarities. In the end, the most intentional part of G-Dragon's CD, his purpose to create enjoyable music for people who want to listen, will probably be ruined in such a manner that any original purity or hard-worked intent in his songs can't be found anymore.
And you know what?
Both sides are probably going to be at fault for making an enjoyable CD a discomforting memory.

this plagiarism is still on....
yah... I'm a big fan of G-Dragon,,,,
and I'm also a music lover and a critic person.....
we cannot say it was plagariazed...
because as a lyricist or a artist in a music industry,,,,,,
should be careful on what music are they are making, and besides Teddy co-write heartbreaker......
flo rida also commented it was just maybe a coincedence....
and the article writter was right there was a little bit similar in one part but it was cut.
maybe they put that cause it will blend to the beat its music....
for me it wasn't plagarized.....
I'm not sayin' this because I'm a fan... but because It was by my own observation....
thank you and peace to all commentators....
Now all I want is to know what the results are!!
I came to Korea at the end of august and the rumor about the plagiarism issue went on until the end of september. But when I first heard about it I definetly thought the same: "GD is not stupid and YG isn't either."
I think that's the best proof haha
