Some Twitter DM diplomacy resolved the issue - and Deadman also moved “Omae Wa Mou” on to a different distribution service. “I was not asking for deletion, so there may have been a mistake on the RouteNote side.” When RouteNote got Shibayan’s complaint, “they just took down,” Lil Boom says. Shibayan Records, the label which owns the rights to the sample source, tells Rolling Stone in an email that it “ allow all remixes and sampling.” But “because there was a problem that YouTube content ID was not used correctly, we contacted RouteNote,” the label-head continues. “It was leading to takedowns of the original,” Lil Boom says. (After the intro, Deadman’s drum programming kicks in to differentiate the two tracks.) So as “Omae Wa Mou” became popular, the content ID system started to confuse the two songs. The first ten seconds of “Omae Wa Mou” are basically identical to the sample source, a track from a Japanese album titled Toho Bossa Nova 2. The problem stemmed from the content identification systems that distribution services use to prevent copyright infringement. “ It was all a misunderstanding,” says the rapper Lil Boom, whose song “Already Dead” used the same sample as “ Omae Wa Mou” - and enjoyed a similar streaming bump. In a quick turnaround, the instrumental returned to the top of the viral chart 10 days later. “Omae Wa Mou” was pulled from Spotify shortly afterwards. Earlier this month, “Omae Wa Mou,” a cheerful instrumental built around an obscure sample of Japanese bossa nova, reached Number One on the Spotify viral chart thanks to a meme that spawned a TikTok dance craze.īut Deadman 死人, the 18-year-old producer behind the track, was barely able to celebrate: The day he topped the chart, he received a notice for copyright infringement from his distributor, RouteNote.
