Fetty Wap Vs. Tax G
So there is a rapper from Jersey claiming that Fetty Wap bit his style. From my perspective, everyone bites. This rap/singing style has been bitten and is not new. Artists usually put their spin on things that have been done before. I don't fault Tax G for speaking out and I can admit that I, as well as others, have spoken out when we felt as if someone was copying or imitating parts of our personal or professional lives. It's a natural reaction. People handle these situations as they see fit, but if I was Tax G, I would change my name to something more recognizable and booking agent friendly, I would go hard in the studio and make the best music of my life, and drop it right now. The people who really purchase and love music do not care if multiple artists sound the same. There are at least 15 rappers in Atlanta who sound the same and they all are making money. Why does this situation have to be any different.? Check out Tax G's interview below with AllHipHop.com and his video for I'm Up, produced by K.E. On the Track. The similarities to Fetty Wap do not stop at the dreds.
