Quick question, why is Eminem allowed to recycle beats?

I don’t know if I’m the only one who realizes this, or maybe just the only one who cares, but it seems that the new Eminem single “Crack a Bottle” makes use of a beat originally found on Wu Tang Clan’s Think Differently Music. The original song, “Preservation,” which features both Del and Aesop was one of the highlights from that effort, and I don’t see how Eminem came to make it his own for “Crack a Bottle.”  The song is allegedly produced by Dr. Dre, so what’s the deal?  Help me out here.

“Crack a Bottle”:

“Preservation”:

you decide. Very similar beats.

785 hits in one day! don’t even update anymore!?

Remember that time I did a post about seeing Ryan Adams in LA?  Well, since this little engagement, people have been googleing variations of “Ryan Adams Mandy Moore” like crazy.  I’m talking 629 views of that post alone.  I’d like to thank Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore’s engagement for creating the highest traffic drewviews has ever seen (and also making some pretty good music (at least Adams)).  At this rate, maybe I should start posting on here more regularly again.

See for yourself:

haha.
