I believe your thinking of the song by Dido and Eminem.  I'm not entirely sure of the legality of it all but i assume that the two artists agreed and they have made a song outta two songs.

Welcome to the world of Corporate Music!
There are no musicians anymore!! Just a bunch of suits telling people what to play.
Look at this "New Metal " crap!!
I'll turn on the radio and all I hear is Nickelback or is it Three Doors Down? I don't know everybody sounds the same!!
And this Rap or hip hop whatever it is they call it, what is up with that? Not one of the songs (using the term loosely!) is original, listen to them all of them use music that was written 10-20 years ago, they just add some spitting and UH!UH! too them.
To the younger crowd, there is a bunch of guys in suits that "make" the music, they steal someone else's music tell a singer (once again term used loosely!) to sing it and we will make money, wise up they think you are stupid!!
There is no such thing as real music anymore, same goes for country, R&B, POP etc.
Can you name one artist (used loosely again!) that is selling any of this crap that will be still recording anything in 5 years? No, because they won't!
You want to hear real music from groups with staying power and origianality, REAL musicians!
Check out the KISS/Aerosmith tour, there is real music.
As far as this TOOL, 3 doors down, Limb Biscuit , or any other "new metal" throw it out now because you aren't holding on to anything that will be worth a penny in a year or so.
Metallica was at one time a great metal legend until the suits got to them now look at them ,ST.Anger I'll tell you who is angry me and a million or so other Ex-Metallica fans.
Corperate music sucks and will not last. The  '80s were the time to be growing up, with real music rock and roll and metal! All real all original and all here to stay!
If you want to really get into listening to real music then start in the early 70's and work on up to the early 90's.
Here's another example: Shiniaw Twain (or however you spell it) Not one of her songs she has wrote herself, not to mention you listen to one of her songs you have heard them all, each album is the same song with some words changed, who is buying this? someone must be because she keeps making the same record over and over! I know who is buying it prepubesent boys!! Yes I'll admit if I was just becoming a "man" I would buy it to just for the pictures.
What is it with these Hip Hop dudes always saying "Keeping it real"? Keeping what real? There is nothing that they do that is real.
Point is they no longer sell real music and no one new is creating it. Real music is coming from the bands and artist that have been around for 20 + years, but you don't hear much advertising or promotional stuff about them because the fans know. Music now is created for the 12- 16 year olds who in another few years will grow up and realize they have been ripped off and cheated.
So my advice to the younger generation:
If it is advertised and out on sale and talked about on Entertainment Tonight and shoved in your face everywhere you look (Britney Spears is a good example)
It is not worth wasting your time or money on!
And boys remember Britney will be old and saggy with bad teeth in a few more years!!
And a note to B1a2rrios: Chances are that the song was the same but Eminem probably stole it from her!

What Fretnsuff said. People with no talent making a good living by stealing other people's hard work. Dead easy ain't it. Hear something you like, sample the riff & use it as a backing track. No originality - nothing. Too much of this seems acceptable now. I call it piracy - plain & simple. I dread to think where it will all end.

Most covers p!ss me off for instance some prat has just covered "Behind Blue eyes" and another "group" one f these TV wannabe thingies has just ripped off "Happy Christmas" (JohnLennon, "War is over") and I'm pretty sure theres a version of "Imagine" doing the rounds .
But what really gets to me are manufactured groups such as "Busted", 3 guys prettending to be a rock band, when theyre friggin teeny boppers. They clearly don't play their own music as they often use chrods that require 3 hands, notes are heard before theyre struck and more/fewer time than they are played .

Remember that was the same with the Monkees (assuming your age!) , but at least they learned how to play and went on tour!
Actually sound real good when I saw them!!
But that is it all fake!!
And ripping off Lennon!!!! That deserves the death sentence!!
You will hear one of these "fakes" do a Lennon song , and forget it in five minutes.
You listen to Lennon do the song and you remember it for life!
By the way Insane Clown Posse- What is that all about?
And I was (still am) called a freak for listening to KISS!

try useing the scan button on your radio, I have three stations I can pickup that constantly play the music you are referring to as "the real music", and I can not stand to listen to any of them.


Music is a personal choice kinda thing, think about it.
your parents probably didn't like the music you liked when you were growing up, just like their parents probably didn't like the music they liked when they were growing up. Really guys, how much bickering do we have to do to figure out that no matter what anyone says, I will listen to the music I like, and you will listen to the music you like, nothing either one of us can say to change the others mind about what good music is. This argument is almost as old as music itself is, when are we gonna let it die.

It's true! I mean, i like most rap songs while some others hate them to death. Imagine the world with only rap songs   ...Just think of this: If the only music in the world would be "real music", we would probably have about couple houndred music CDs! and i think today's teens(and some men) would certainly hate like most of those songs; and the whole world would get tired of listening to the same songs. So i think that as long as they keep making new songs, and the people like those songs, it's not really a matter of coping music from other people.
