Yahoo News and other media outlets report that representatives from the Black Eyed Peas and DJ Adam Freeland are in talks after the UK-based deejay accused the group of using his song "Mancry" as the basis for the Peas' song "Party All The Time."

 

As is the current trend, Freeland took to Twitter to air his grievance stating, "OK. Check this. Listen to our song 'Mancry'. Now listen to Black Eyed Peas 'Party all the time' WTF!"

 

After his being involved with Peas' manager Polo Molina during last month's MuchMusic Video Awards [click to read], Hilton offered to help Freeland file a lawsuit against the band. On his Web site , Hilton wrote, "According to reports, Black Eyed Peas member and producer will.i.am was at an event last year where Freeland performed this song in question."

 

The Black Eyed Peas denied the claim and gave an explanation on DipDive.com saying, "This was not a case of plagiarism, in that the band's manager had offered them a beat and it was a case of working together. It was a lack of finalising legalities before releasing the record, clearance was not done and that was what it was about."

The two songs

Wow they are almost identical apart from BEP use a drum beat on top of the synths! Its not surprising tbh though, i read that Will.I.Am had to drop a beat that resembled one used in Daft Punks songs but i thought he wouldve learnt by now. If it comes out that they have rightly accused of plagiarism then that could destroy his reputation as a producer...

That really is a rip off. :o
