00:00 You probably know this
00:01 Well, this song was stolen
00:09 Not sampled, not interpolated, but stolen
00:11 by a little artist who didn't ask for anything
00:13 The base is a German producer, absolutely unknown, Southstar
00:16 Decides to remix an old song from another German, much more famous, Oliver Tree
00:20 He remixes the song "Jerk" and makes a song called "Mission"
00:24 He doesn't have the rights of this song like absolutely everyone who remixes
00:27 But he still posts it on Soundcloud and nothing happens
00:29 It's normal, he's not famous, so he has 3 likes from his friends
00:32 But by chance, a famous rapper will hear the song and make a story
00:36 At that moment, "Mission" starts to take off, especially on TikTok
00:39 But remember, Southstar doesn't have the rights of this song
00:42 And to have them, he will sign a contract with a label
00:45 Who says "It's ok, we'll manage to get the rights, the only thing you have to do
00:49 is to delete your version and then repost one in a row"
00:52 That's what Southstar does, and on July 30, 2022, he reposts the version of "Mission"
00:56 And 6 days later, Oliver Tree and Robin Schulz
00:58 Robin Schulz is one of the most influential producers in the world
01:01 They release a remix of "Jerk", the same song as "Remix" and "Southstar"
01:05 This remix is called "Mission", it lasts 3 minutes and 26 seconds
01:08 And musically, it's exactly the same thing
01:10 It's literally a copy-paste without any mention of Southstar
01:24 And it's the Oliver Tree and Robin Shools version that will obviously be the most successful.
