    Well, steam is from 2003 so…

    I obviously meant steam power, not the game store that’s much newer than the song you’re acting old about 🙄

    The thing that “made all the difference” is not a particolarly impressive feat.

    Showing your ignorance again. Do you even know how music works at all? What it IS??

    If you think for a moment that Coolio AKA everybody-only-knows-him-for-that-song is even remotedly in the same ballpark of Steve Wonder you are out of your mind

    And here comes the common refuge for people who can’t win on the ACTUAL arguments being made: the strawman argument.

    Nobody’s saying that one great song makes him comparable to Stevie Wonder. All I’m saying is that his cover IS his song that HE (as well as the fantastic vocals of LV in the chorus) made successful.

      I know?

      Anyway, I’m not a producer I’m the average consumer. Maybe miracles exist and only a guy inspired by the full pantheon of artistical Gods assembled can take a song from one of the most critically acclaimed album there is and make a succesfully selling hit out of it, or maybe that song became a global instant hit because any song from “Songs in the key of life” is an instant sell if you take out the whole “God almighty” of it. See Will slapping Smith with “Wild Wild West” inspired by “I wish”.

      It is “his” song because legally it is, I’ll give you that.
