Cali Swag District Jacks Michael Jackson

 

The only thing I know about Cali Swag District is that they are much younger than me, and they made a song that I am only marginally familiar with, "Teach Me How To Dougie." (Sidebar: Is this song about Doug E. Fresh doing the dance in this video?) Anyway, my only reason for posting this song is that it's the Summer of Michael Jackson on SoulBounce and they sampled his "I Wanna Be Where You Are" for their song called...wait for it..."Where You Are." Short of adding some drums and adding some ho-hum lyrics on top of a track we all know and love, the song is damn near what you would hear playing in your head if you're within earshot of the original. This sample does beg this question: Is this any different than the shameless sampling used by MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" or nearly all of Mary J. Blige's My Life album? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. [H/T: TMZ]
