Well look at that. When DAD talks about producers jacking other producers, mans want to talk shit; deadmau5 tweets about it and it's the talk of the EDM town. I see yall. In any case, deadmau5 isn't messing about on this one. He's going right at Wildstylez over Wildstylez' "Straightforward," which deadmau5 says lifts his own tune, "Some Chords":
and, ripoff of the year goes to: http://t.co/ssENmXc3qb

Listening to the two tracks side-by-side, deadmau5's case seems to be open and shut:
if youre going to rip off "some chords" rip off SOME chords... not ALL OF THEM. IN THE SAME FUCKIN ORDER. lol — deadmau5 (@deadmau5) February 20, 2014
Wildstylez, in a weird twist, seems to acknowledge that it wasn't deadmau5 that the idea sprang from, but this track by Booty Luv:
@deadmau5 heard this on the radio right before I started the track http://t.co/crgDWT2d8T But thanks anyway. — Wildstylez (@wildstylez) February 20, 2014
That might be the first time we've ever heard a producer defend themselves by saying they lifted a chord progression from another song. deadmau5 isn't buying it, though:
@wildstylez cool story. why dont you just rip that off too? making music is hard.

@deadmau5 Love your stuff, but you're taking a little too much credits here.

@wildstylez go fuck yourself. seriously. yes, i am, in fact, taking credit for the melody i wrote. Are you telling me its yours?

We hate that the hardstyle family is only coming out to say that deadmau5 is going after the hardstyle scene, like he cares about that. In any case, we'll see how this one plays out.
