Did Ke$ha rip off the Furry video of this indie rapper?
by Patch O'Furr
In 2012, I helped MC Crumbsnatcher and crew from San Francisco’s local art scene make his Furry music video for his song, Let’s Get to Humpin’. I’m the Husky fursuit dancer, and I hooked up some of the background dancers with Bunnywarez costumes on a shoestring budget. (Paying a costume maker in strings isn’t easy, let me tell you.)
Crumbsnatcher met Ke$ha, and gave her some of his work. A few months later, her own “Furry” video was released… and Crumbsnatcher claims it’s suspiciously influenced by his work. At the 3:40 mark, you get a minute of comparison. This is NSFW for dirty gay lyrics and sexy dancing.
Check my Flayrah piece for more thoughts- “Pseudo-furry” videos raise questions about pop culture and Furry fandom.
Wow, there’s one thing to inspire somefur… and another thing to be ripped off by said person.
Even so, his video was much more dynamic and better edited. 😀 Talent cannot be ripped off!
Keep doing your stuff and, perhaps, show less of your work to celebrities? ^^’
