Soulja Boy, a rapper known for that one “Yooouuu!” song, has been reported by Sankaku Complex that he obviously ripped off the well known anime Death Note and used Near’s Theme from the OST. Death Note is extremely popular in multiple countries especially the United States.
Anyone who has ever seen the anime series could tell you that it is an obvious ripoff. The 2 pictures above is a side-by-side comparison with the anime and Soulja Boy’s album.
You can listen to the song on Sankaku Complex’s Site here.

Another reason why i dont listen to rap. It lacks originality, sure its fun sometimes, but i prefer the original of whatever there ripping off.
This of course is just my opinion.
