I've listened to both songs and I can hear the similar beat playing behind both songs. I'm not sure if I'm convinced the song writers copied the song but the jury was.

Quote:
A jury on Monday found that Katy Perry's 2013 hit "Dark Horse" improperly copied a 2009 Christian rap song in a unanimous decision that represented a rare takedown of a pop superstar and her elite producer by a relatively unknown artist.
The verdict by a nine-member federal jury in a Los Angeles courtroom came five years after Marcus Gray and two co-authors, first sued in 2014 alleging "Dark Horse" stole from "Joyful Noise," a song Gray released under the stage name Flame.
The case now goes to a penalty phase, where the jury will decide how much Perry and other defendants owe for copyright infringement.

The idea of "Christian rap" is as dumb as "Christian tattoos".

Maybe Christian Rap is the Dark Horse of pop music

kindof ironic that a Christian song was co-opted for a music video that featured bizarre, borderline occult imagery

It's interesting because I've heard shows and films use songs from Christian groups before like Grits' Tennessee Boys or Flyleaf's music video on Die Hard 4, but very never really seen them be ripped off that hard.

I've heard Grits get sampled from, but not like Perry.

As a voice of the vocal majority I hear by rule in favor of Flame but I also rule to ban Christian Rap.

It is decided.

Something most people don't know is Katy Perry was a Christian singer growing up.


That's why I can't stand her. All her bat **** crazy antics and bi-curious talk is about pissing off daddy.


I would still **** her, though.

You've got to be hornier than a goat with two peckers.

To them, rap is something "hoodlums" do.

and "my body is a temple" literal translation instead of using their brain to think for themselves

Maybe. Maybe not.


I went to Abilene Christian for two years and my experience was most guys there getting the ankle tattoos wanted "street cred" but were still afraid to rock the boat.


Basically spineless pu$$ie$ who wanted to be bad ass w/o being bad.


Basically Justin Bieber.
