I heard him defend it in an interview once. This is legit what he said: "Under Pressure goes ‘but duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum.’ But Ice Ice baby guess ‘but duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum tss.’
That was so silly. I mean, it was a sample. That’s the fundamental basis of hip hop. There’s no shame in it. Why would he try to pretend it was anything different?
Tbf, he later admitted that saying that was stupid.
