The Black Eyed Peas recently premiered “This Is Awesome” with David Guetta at Coachella, on a late Sunday night (April 12). Although David and BEP have collaborated in the past with their smash hit “I Got A Feeling,” back in 2009 -their newest song bombed in a major way. The instrumental was generic, followed with lyrics – “This is awesome/This is awesome” – that seemed very familiar to another hit song by Shy Glizzy. Yes, the new single sounds odd, but if you keep listening you will notice a similarity to DC’s newest rap star’s single “Awwsome.”

Glizzy’s “Awwsome” showed up on DJ Esco’s Future-heavy “No Sleep” mixtape in December, 2013. Throughout the track, he spends the majority of it celebrating his “awwsome-ness,” belting out his awesome-words in a half-falsetto tone. With the phrase “I’m so awesome” being repeated four times in the chorus, we can’t help but hear the correlation to The Black Eyed Peas’ new track.

Given the similar sounds and themes, did The Black Eyed Peas copy Shy Glizzy’s “Awwsome” with their new single?
