he doesnt rhyme like ghost. Ghost also is more agressive. Bronson mostly says punches. cadence isnt like ghost either. nothing Bronson makes sounds like any flow on supreme clientele . Droog does have Nas's rhyme scheme.

a HUGE let down
especially after
dude said Ghost aint spitting like THIS anymore?
He need to realize how many CLASSIC albums Ghost got on his resume...
mostly SOLO too.
dude got some dope mixtapes but f*cked up under the pressure and scrutiny and ran to TV
but I notice this is the culture vulture MO recently
see Lil dicky.
12 notes in music. 12 keys, 12 scales.
about 35 major chords.
its hard to create riffs that sound completely unique from whats already been recorded.
but lets be honest. sometimes folks just simply copy other folk's shit.
back in the 90's they were playing Third Eye Blind: Semi Charmed which sounded damn near exactly like Spin Doctors: Two Princes which was released 4 years prior. nobody whooped ass in court over that, but Cold Play settled with Joe Satriani over a song that sounded like Cat Steven's stuff.
shits crazy. i'd give hip hop a pass cause its based on sampling music. its all about warming up left overs and adding Mrs Dash to it.
oh and Luda jacked Em who totally jacked Masta Ace...while Jay was busy jackin' the original Kanye West (who i am still a fan of. i dont know who this attention whoring wanna be Karl Lagerfeld dude is.)

Homie, you actually know nothing about hip hop to even make a mistake like that. Nas got albums older than that kid.
And you'll be surprised how much I DO know about hip hop...
Droog doesn't predate Nas fam.
I know.
That's why I quoted my own post stating my mistake that I wrote earlier in this thread's existence.
Copyright law wouldn’t provide the necessary protections for what the OP is asking, but one would have a stronger case to make under a trademark and/or privacy (name & likeness) theory. The outcome would be case specific, but the short answer is yes, you could trademark certain characteristics and mannerisms if you are a celebrity and it is part of your persona. Check video games for example.
Would this extend to the carlton dance controversy in fort nite?
The problem with Ribeiro's lawsuit was 1) he sued under a copyright theory (I don't think he ever trademarked the dance and probably couldn't), and not under a "right of publicity" claim and 2) "Carlton" was a fictional character on a show that he didn't own (and by extension probably couldn't own the dance).
But athletes have to license not only their image and likeness to video game makers, but also their mannerisms which help to identify the video game characters as the particular player.

You sure that's not Prince.
IIRC, they were from Memphis.
