[edit] Plagiarism
Evidence of the Mason Vs. Princees creation dates as far back as 23 June 2006, when a user named 'Tallngoofy' posted a personal bootleg of the 2 tracks on the Onelove Music internet forum. This version is almost undeniably the basis for which the formally released version is founded upon, as the similarities are constant.
