I don't like Far East Movement

First off they named their song "Like a G6" when the only mention of a G6 is in the female vocal part. Catchy, yes, but it didn't even come from their minds. In fact, the same singer has another song where she says [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDfUjM-vygI]the exact same thing @1:45[/url]. This doesn't really bother me, either, since it isn't the first person ever to sample. But the fact that they say in an interview that they thought of the line about how being fly-er than a G4 would be a G6 makes it seem like it was originally their lyrics. That bothers me.

Then they have the Rocketeer song, which samples music from Justin Bieber's Somebody To Love. You can hear it [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk1oIrQnBzw]at 1m into the song[/url]. I don't know why, but it irks me. Eventually they'll just be Asian FloRida's.

When i learned that a G6 was a plane that song made no sense to me.

I don't like it or many hip-hop rap or stuff-like-that songs.

So yea i don't like them either.

The only reason why I like G6 is because of the girl part....yet there's no girls in the group? o.o

You do know that most of the beats are taken from OLDER SONGS? Like I remember there was this crappy song by Rihanna called S.O.S.? And there was an older song that sounded JUST THE SAME AND SHE TOOK THEIR BEATS iaohndgoajg Every artist takes other beats from other songs...

[quote=Acousmatic]It's k-pop, they don't have any actual talent.

Not to mention the first song sounds close to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THs92hYhKyc[/quote]

It's not kpop. Kpop imo is worse rofl.

Like a G6 sounds umm weird but it's ok, but Rocketeer I prefer this version than the singing.

Far East Movement has close to nothing special, no talent. Just from my first time listening to 'Rocketeer'
I thought 'these guys can NOTT rap.' The 3rd rap verse used 2 of its 8 lines saying 'oh'. Overall, I think Far East Movement
is one of those bands which are '1 hit wonders.'

[quote=HolyMythos]Yeah, I like Dev's song a hell of a lot better. After finding out that they used a sample of her, I realized that the only reason I listen to their song is for her part.[/quote]

her part is the only thing that comes to mind about the song, i'll have to see if FM actually adds anything interesting

[quote=Deciduous]i like them because they did a song with frankmusik <3

but i haven't listened to more than three songs by them. i prefer dev's song over g6, hated girls on the dancefloor, and really liked the frankmusik one.[/quote]

@ two above: No, I have no idea what it means, especially since I used it in the topic post. You sir, win/.

haha I just posted this in that other thread
sampling really isn't a big deal nowadays
Even Justin Bieber has ripped off before.

Yeah, the took catchy lyrics from someone else and added a different beat. Without her, I doubt the song would have made top 10.
