Flo Rida Samples Infinity Ink
House | Wednesday 31st July 2013 | Beth
Following the aftermath of the likes of Jason Derulo, who sampled Robin S’ ‘Show Me Love’, amongst other glory-stealing tragedies, serial sample stealer Flo Rida is at it again.
It appears he isn’t satisfied enough after sampling Bingo Players’ ‘Cry’ and Avicii’s ‘Levels’, and now wants to stamp his own name on Infinity Inks latest underground hit.
Obviously, Flo Rida wouldn’t want to straight up steal the track, so has kindly added his own artistic flare with lyrics such as “she got that butt-donkie-donkie”, “black girl got a ass” and “I wanna see that babu iam bam baram bam baram babu iam bam baram bam baram”. Genius. Definitely a future karaoke classic.
Infinity Ink fans have kicked up a storm on Twitter about the travesty.
"The Flo Rida & Pitbull song with the Infinity Ink sample is utterly disgusting, anyone who buys that record needs to be seen to by a doctor"
"Think Infinity Ink have destroyed any remaining shred of credibility they had left in letting Flo Rida use Infinity"
"Can't believe these two morons!!! Killed a perfectly good house tune!! RIP INFINITY INK"
"Flo Rida and Pitbull stealing Infinity Ink’s beat. The masters of recycling and butchering songs"
Not only has Flo Rida seriously pissed off Infinity Ink fans, he’s also managed to ruffle Diplo’s feathers, who claims the video is a blatant rip off of his video for ‘Butter’s Theme’.
"yo @official_flo ur a fuck ass fuckboi for ripping off my video"
I wonder how much Infinity Ink charged to allow their track to be butchered? Oh, and did we mention it features Pitbull?
