bubbletea 336 Posted Sunday at 10:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:41 PM (edited) Karol G dropped a new song on Friday that fans are saying sounds suspiciously similar to Rosalía's hit "Despacha." Both tracks are dembow with a danceable merengue or Caribbean-inspired melody. today the Spanish singer made an instagram post with different pictures with no description and her song on the background… may be a reach but it’s not the first time there is a shady reference to Karol G from this woman Feels like 2013 with pop idols being messy over again Edited Sunday at 10:43 PM by bubbletea 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbletea 336 Posted Sunday at 10:45 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 10:45 PM I don’t dislike Rosalia but I feel like her fans are so messy and problematic.. always attacking LATINA artists some months ago was Tini now (and it’s not the first time) Karol G be serious, she’s not the blueprint of genres that already existed in those girls countries 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decodekid 24,860 Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:52 PM Sorry but Rosalia can't have a word on this one she didn't invent Merengue, she just came to DR and hopped on what she liked If anything Karol G has more of a right than her to jump on the genre as she is actually latina Im Harol don't tell anyone 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 89,067 Posted Monday at 12:17 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:17 AM Didn’t they get the memo that Charli and Lorde ended female competition last week and now pop girlies are suppose to love and support each other?

Plastic Flower 2,359 Posted Monday at 12:28 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:28 AM I've heard songs like this my entire life so Rosalía better not act like she invented the genre. Drop it 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say Rosalia can't do Merengue, I said that Karol G has more of a right in the context that Rosalia often appropriates culture BEYOND just making a song, which leads to Karol G being able to do so without it being such a problem as she is latina. And if we're going by your logic then no, Karol G can speak Spanish as her country was colonized and she can reclaim that Im Harol don't tell anyone 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadArchitect 330 Posted Monday at 04:22 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:22 AM (edited) this is ridiculous, bachata and merengue IS pop music in latin america, almost as much as reggaeton is, people here have been listening to these styles since they were born over and over again, Rosalia not only din't invent anything at all, she hopped on styles that were already very popular here, the people who listen to that and hear novelty are only people who dont live or dont know latin american culture...

And if we're going by your logic then no, Karol G can speak Spanish as her country was colonized and she can reclaim that music is music, there’s no such thing as having more of a right to sing a song or not. Lady Gaga is not from Tennessee and still did Joanne. I dont mind Karol G but she obvoiusly copies Rosalia in lots of ways. Just look up comparisons and you will see. That doesnt mean shes not talented or whatever, shes just not really original. Almost every country in the world has been colonized, hers was in 1499, I think we should move on lol I See You 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
