Keen to replicate profit-swelling success stories of yesteryear record labels often use model their new artists on the artists who came before them.
Janet-Britney
Madonna- Lady Gaga
Anita Baker – Toni Braxton
Mary J. Blige – Keyshia Cole- K. Michelle
Beyonce- Rihanna
Gwen Stefani- Charli XCX.
For one reason or another, this practice isn’t always as obvious when the artists are men, perhaps because said labels rarely require male artists to look like the artists they are pulling from.
Unfortunately for Future, he has learned just how problematic this trend can be when a new musician succeeds in “borrowing” their sound.
For, after he was accused of “borrowing” his style from T-Pain, he has been forced to watch the rise of the charismatic and eerily identical Desiigner and his smash hit single ‘Panda.’
Why his thunder-stealing ascent is set to rub the Southern star the wrong way once more?
Desiigner’s decision to cover his latest single…

Desiigner’s decision to perform the number may be his way of responding to Future’s recent spread in ‘Rolling Stone.’
In it, the performer asks the publication to omit any mention of the ‘Panda’ purveyor.
They didn’t.

u forgot Nicki Minaj – Lil Kim
Of course they intentionally left that one out. Most of these bloggers are complicit in Oinknika’s theft.
I’m so tired of this lil him stan
yeah thats soo true

Kii at Beyonce – Rihanna. I don’t use but I don’t agree with that one!
Lmao! Rihanna and Bey are complete opposites. But they did try to make her Bey 2.0 from her first 3 albums. YouTube proves it lmao! Weren’t you the one that posted a youtube vid of her dancing and “singing” at So You Think You Can Dance or Dancing With The Stars in her early days? The one with wig holding on for dear life as she bounced up and down ?????!!!!
They’re complete opposite, but Jayz had something to do with Rihanna. There was a few record label trying to make a Beyoncé & destiny child. I don’t remember the girl group name, but they had a chick that look like Beyoncé in the group. This was like 12 years ago. Now, Jayz tried by signing Rihanna & teairra Mari. But of course Riihanna won the battle of the clones
Rihanna and Beyonce have 2 completely different sounds. You guys are waaaayyy off on that one. Also I don’t believe K-Michelle and Mary J. Blige, K is just another R&B artist to me. Once again TGJ is reaching and hating on Rihanna
Did you even read our comments? We clearly agreed that Bey and Rih are completely different! ?
@Jamon
Stop being delusional. TGJ was not hating on Rihanna multiple comparisons between artist that have and still are compared against one another. Understandably you don’t like the comments that are being made about Rihanna.
@HailLegendBeysus says, I was in agreeing, that comment was at TGJ,did you read the end of the comment when I referenced them.
@Beystan, they weren’t comparing, they were saying these artists took the other artists style
RIHANNA is over-rated. She is a Lazy Performer who appears to be under the influence of drugs. Listening to her “live” i need to be under the influence. Horrible vocals.
Designer needs to get his own style, I have never seen such a blatant wanna be since Nikki Minaj & Lil Kim. More importantly he better be careful performing his songs, you have to get permission and clearance from record labels, writers, producers, and the artist themselves in most cases. He is clearly coming for future but he won’t last long, but he is cooking him self up a nice lawsuit
The difference between Desiigner/Future and Oinknika/Lil’ Kim is that Desiigner has never said a bad word about Future. He isn’t jacking his style and subliminally dissing him in raps. Oinknika stole every single thing from Kim and dissed her in the process. That is disgusting. Desiigner will succeed, even though he should get his own swag.
Your preaching is so on point. Don’t ever quit!
Dude Nicki paid homage to Kim over and over again. receipts are all over YouTube. Kim was picking and got her ass slaughtered. simple as that. Michael Jackson ripped James Brown but did you see James trying to kill Michael Jackson’s career because he was bitter that his time was up? no. Nicki was never dropping subliminal disses because nobody’s scared of Kim fatass.
Rihanna is nothing like Beyonce. Rihanna surpassed Beyonce a few years ago. Rihanna is an international pop star, Beyonce is just a r&b singer. It’s not near as close of a copy like a Aaliyah/Ciara Lil Kim/Nicki Usher/Chris Brown
.
If Rihanna is a decent of anyone, it would actually be Madonna with a splash of Pink. But Rihanna dose a much better job.
Girl bye. You stay pressed and bitter. Bey is waaaaaaaaaaay more of a pop culture force than Rihanna
She’s really not, but both stump Cherry Coke with a different last name every year in the UK stage ground.
Record sales, album sales, top singles around the world. Rihanna sold WAY more albums outside of the US than Beyonce ever have. She’s the bigger artist, deal with it on your own time.
Chery Soldrlierr thanks well said
She really is. Even most non delusional navy can admit that. And kii at you always deflecting. Girl learn how to put together an argument.
Im still in tears over Stephy gathering you and WreckedButthole all the way together.
.
Exactly how has fRih surpassed LegendYonce?
Vocals nope!
Tours nope!
Critical Acclaim nope!
Album sales nope!
Respect amongst her peers nope!
Accolades nope!
Longevity nope!
.
Kii singles yes ????
Lmaoo u funny
D is just trolling. Feature should had never shown that he was bothered. And this is karma, Feature called the next T Pain and dissed him saying T doesn’t have any hits anymore and whatever. Humble yourself, because there’s a saying, there’s a person out there that wants your spot and they can do what you do better and cheaper.
Don’t come at me when your fave haven’t had a #1 in a decade. But the tour, yes you have to s**** away with back to back tours when you’re a label s**** that don’t own your music masters nor your group’s name.
Lmao the shade writes itself! Beyonce hasn’t had #1 in a decade but is still selling out stadiums better than fRih and pushing better numbers in pure sales!
.
Cling to that Cheatannas owns her Master’s BS but she still won’t be topping Forbes like Bey, Katy, Taylor and Adele!
.
Not you talking about touring s**** when fRih has been on tour almost every year since her debut lmao!!!!
I cling to MUSIC, while you cling to tours. Even a circus tours, most hasbenns do well on tours. 🙂
You cling to music yet your fave doesn’t even write hers. Like what are you even talking about?
Clinged to Tours and Album sales dumbass! Rihanna isn’t touching Bey point blank! Poorthing just got slayed by local Yoncé in her best selling market ?
You’re so stupid. Britney Spears were selling diamond albums and didn’t get first #1 single until her 5th album. #1 singles were never really a thing until it was the only way these Wack artist could feel accomplished. Janet has a plethora of #1 hits… that no one remembers
Lmao @Marsha claiming fRih sold waaay more albums outside the US than Bey when the gap is literally just 4m albums dispite fRih having more albums released than Bey ????
.
US Sales Bey 17.5m
US Sales FRih 10m
.
Outside US Sales Bey 17
Outside US Sales FRih 21
.
?????
Mark is so pressed! It’s no point of defending Beyoncé. During Rihanna’s Diamonds World Tour The Navy swore that she would outgross “The Ms. Carter Tour” because she was doing mainly stadiums. However Bey outgrossed her in arenas EVERY NIGHT! Now fast forward to 2016 all of a sudden Bey is a circus act/tour s**** because Rihanna is back to arena status and can’t fill or sell stadiums… Funny how when Rihanna starts failing at something it’s no longer a big deal to the Navy anymore!
Beyoncé-Rihanna? For Real?
Lol. It’s so funny how ppl act like Rihanna never said how Beyoncé inspired her. There are receipts galore, guys. Rihanna can pretend she never did Bc of what she has become but she said what she said. She wanted to be like Beyoncé when she grew up…like most black and white young pop girls want to be. Lol.
Thank you! That video of Rihanna saying “My greatest Idol is Beyoncé” is still plastered all of over YouTube. Rihanna spent her first 2 albums trying to be the more exotic Beyoncé 2.0. The public & the Industry saw right through it and called her out on it. Now that Rihanna is a major star they act like she never claimed Bey or Mariah or any other big name Diva who has came before her and help lay down the pavement for her basic ass!
That was Jays influence. You know good and well Rihanna doesn’t give a damn about that thief nor is she inspired by her. Nothing about Rihanna is Beyonce. Rihanna makes the trends while beythiefce follows them just like she followed the black lives matter movement when it was convenient for her.
Keri is doing what exactly these days?
Rihanna is now trying so hard
to prove she has talent but she’s failed bcoz many people are now fed up of her antics. She thought #1 singles would make her a legend but she’s now the laughing stock bcoz everytime her name is sitting on a list with legends she looks like she doesn’t belong there.
#Truth
How did this turn into another Hive v Navy Stan war ?
Every post is going to be a Navy vs. Hive post. It’s just the essence of TGJ.
Anyway Desiigner will be another one hit wonder, a la Trīnīdād James and Bobby Schmurda
The difference is, future is insecure and petty. Why would he be threatened by being compared to an 18 year old that just came out. especially enough to specify not to mention his name.. lol. Designer does sound alot alike, but have you heard him talk. He’s not jacking anything, that just happens to be his lingo. If swagger jacking is the issue, lets blame the producers and the writers too, they knew what he sounded like before the music was releases. Blame managment, blame the label. The kids dope and humble. he will go far. future needs to either switch up or shut up.. there’s nothing new under the sun. stop acting like future created this legandary sound lol yall are pressed like orange juice
You can’t comp queen bey with lazy lip singer ririhoo the only people that are supporting her is bey haters that don’t want bey to do well
Beyonce has done her fair share or lip synching. You’re delusional
Keri can’t even get a stage to lip sync on tho
But she’s worth more than the retired talent show host that you Stan for.
But she’s not dumbass lmao. Cheryl’s worth $30 million while Keri probably isn’t even worth 1 at this point. You stay taking Ls just like your flop fave.
Future shouldn’t be mad bc his style and sound is so generic and nothing we haven’t seen before. Furthermore, the reason a lot of artists are very similar or under the Blueprint of other artists is because they have to do everything the record label tells them to do even if it means being a carbon copy of a more established and successful artist.
Y’all thought it was cute when Mariah was annoyed by the Ariana comparisons, but all of a sudden it’s an issue when Future becomes annoyed? Desiigner sounds exactly like him. Everybody thought Panda was a Future song. Say whatever you want, but Future has his own sound and lane. All of the copycats came bursting out after he stepped onto the scene. I wouldn’t expect a bunch of pop diva bottom stans to know this though. ?
Rihanna was a low budget Beyoncé on her first 2 albums
.
She even copied Baby Boy video for one of her songs which I forgot
.
But now Rihanna is Rihanna
.
And she has been flopping since 2015
.
AntiSuccess selling 8k pure sales in the US
.
AntiSuccess tour went onsale in 2015 November
.
Her Anti album was advertised from 2015 with many rooms to unlock
.
She has 1 platinum selling single off her flop album
.
One of her 2015 flop songs had like 8 writers (Nazi’s stay draggin Queen Bey for dat)
.
Her singles are failing to sell into platinum status like the parent album
.
Bottom line Rihanna is a flop and waaaaaaaayyyyy below Queen Beyonce!
Future and Desiigner are both utter trash so its hard to really care. Im just hoping that trash and trash somehow cancel each other out.
Lol
The submarines were outchea dragging Nicki’s last album only for their fave to sell less than it
.
#Karma
Dearly beloved!
.
Remember when the nazi dragged 4Closure?
.
Now look at AntiSuccess
.
???
Remember when the “many waters” guards dragged Beyoncé for selling 8k ww in 2014?
.
Look at AntiSuccess selling 8k and the album is not 500k units sold
.
????
Career Ender thanks you it all
Remember when they called TMCS World Tour a Retirement/Greatest hits tour?
.
Look at AntiTicketmaster down grading from stadiums and failing to fill Theaters and High school dining halls and auditoriums?
.
???
Remember when they called Beyonce tired , old amd over during 4closure?
.
Yet her success this era is yet to touch 1/3 of 4cloaure era
.
???
Remember when they dragged Artpop?
.
And now AntiSuccess is doing worst than it
.
???
Remember when they went after Charty Perry amd called her Payola Perry?
.
Yet her only #1 this era is due to the payola rdio deal and samsung purchased streams?
.
She tries to payola FFS but it flopped hard in 2015
.
???
