LENNY KRAVITZ - Baptism 
How many times have we run into issues that are reminiscent of other known? A stigma that often qualify as plagiarism unconscious or directly as outright theft. According to the societies of authors and composers from many countries, plagiarism is "copying, in substance, a person's work by passing it as their own."
This applies to the tune of "My Sweet Lord" George Harrison confessed to having stolen from "He's so fine" by the Chiffons. Or John Lennon, when he swiped the cadence of "You Can not Catch Me "to Chuck Berry, for their" Come Together. " Or the verses of "Do you believe in shame" by Duran Duran, that sound too "Suzie Q". Or the famous "Creep" and "Just" by Radiohead, eager vilely of "The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies and "No new tale to tell," Love & Rockets, respectively. Or Led Zeppelin, "borrowing" riffs "You Need Loving" by Small Faces, to compose his famous "Whole lotta love." Or even vice versa, when Pearl Jam through "Given to fly", outraged the beautiful ballad "Going to California”, de Page y Plant. O -ya que estamos- “Yellow ledbetter”, de Eddie Vedder, sustraída sigilosamente de “Little wing”, de Jimi Hendrix. O la armonía de cuerdas de “Bittersweet symphony”, de The Verve, achacada a tiros a “The last time”, de los Stones. O Nine Inch Nails escamoteando para “A warm place” la totalidad de “Crystal Japan”, de David Bowie. O los hiperinflados Coldplay, que enfrentan un juicio debido al tema “Viva la vida”, robado a “If I could fly”, de Joe Satriani. O Vanilla Ice, que ganó fama con “Ice ice baby”, sin pagar derechos a Queen, por desvalijarles “Under pressure”. O Soda Stereo
stripping Ride, Tina Turner Cher, Guns n 'Roses T. Rex, Michael Jackson to Al Bano, Madonna Salvatore Acquaviva, Jet Iggy Pop, Procol Harum Oasis, Kylie Minogue Galleon, this Donna Summer, Kelly Ferro Tizziano Osboure, and this in Visage, leading to unusual cases, such as the said Chuck Berry, who robbed himself the 'intros' to his immortal rocks.

not want to get more weeds, but know that the biggest fool of in this regard is held by Paul Simon, have appropriated the Andean tune "El Condor Pasa", composed by Daniel Robles in 1913 Alomía Peru's national heritage and transforming it into "If I Could," which earned him an embarrassment not only artistic, but also a serious conflict with the government of that country.

But there is one individual who did not need loot riffs, and choruses, and verses, or positions, or imprints certain this or that musician, and that all his work is an impressive COMPENDIUM OF ASSAULT PERFECT to formulas proven successful in the rock could find in 30 years of questionable career. That cemented his victory Leonard Albert Kravitz, just based on ideas suck several original creators, including Prince, Beatles, Sly & the Family Stone and Jimi Hendrix.
undisputed hits Maker, owner of a magnificent voice, and guitarist / multi-instrumentalist opportunist like few others, the monarch of copy / paste used the most effective pieces of hard-rock, funk, glam and pop, producing an event few sometimes been able to build an unprecedented monetary rule, except for one thing: that as well popular saying goes, "lies have short legs", and this is the album where the artist saw the crotch to God. Not surprisingly, "Baptism" is the cover you have. It shows the musician swimming in the blood of the creative that he agreed to suck. And not just because the album is called "Baptism", since the most likely Kravitz, contrite, has decided to be baptized in 2004 to escape their enormous original sin (and capital!).
Everything is weak, repetitive and pointless here, where, despite playing almost all instruments Lenny, good intentions are dashed (as in River Plate, that every day is closer to Peru, and not because of her outfit .) "Minister of rock 'n roll" is pure self-indulgence, "I Do not Want to Be a Star" is mere hypocrisy (it's easy to sing only want a Chevy and an old guitar when you live in a huge mansion) and "Sistamamalover" recreates the recipe over Prince ("Sexy motherfucker?). "Storm" rots the air with his horrible rap , by Jay-Z, and the court elite which "California" stinks to duplicate the band Fountains Of Wayne. "Where are we running?" And "Flash" are like the worst Kiss in the middle of summer diarrhea, while "Calling All Angels", "What did I do with my life?", "Baptized" and "The Other Side" are displayed as sebaceous melodramatic ballads, made expressly to wet pussies teenagers.
A digital production only makes fans Lenny screams ask again hear "Mamma said" and it returns to the Recording analog valve. But, I believe, to edit impurities such as this would be best Kravitz seek a place on the catwalks as a model for any brand of jeans.

Conclusion: Lenny said in an interview with Guitar One reason why some celebrities do not deserve to be famous: "Look at those idols that magnify. A lot of subjects that do nothing more than walking down a red carpet and attending high society parties, only to hook up with the right people. So are celebrities. And for what? ".
The strange thing is that is exactly what I think of him.
