So he basically used everybody else's music and made an instant "classic" album?
Isn't that called cheating and lazy?

yeah, he got sued for it, but it was more than 10% different, so i guess any press is good press, when all you do is want to make whoopy
but that's true of most dj mixes, isn't it? recycled tunes done different. just add beat..
he also did an album of paris hilton, then took it into the music stores and switched it with her copies,
like a contemporary conceptual art (music) project, or at least, that was his excuse..

It's like the cast of Glee had all those "hit" songs, when all they did was remake everybody else's hits.
Sorry that does not count in my book. :o
