I've seen way too many people talk about this like idiots so i need to address it.
1. Hailie's Song is an original approach to a song...He sings most of it, but then stays true to his roots by putting a rap verse in the end.
2. Mockingbird is NOT original, mostly because it rehashes the content in Hailie's Song.
3. The lyrics are not even comparable. Hailie's Song (the rap verse anyway) delivers the message in an edgy, interesting way...and the rhyming is unfathomably better (neck is breakin'/expectations, years that I've wasted/tears that I've tasted).
4. The singing in Hailie's Song is actually GOOD...at least tolerable for most people. The singing in Mockingbird is annoying as fuck.
If you think Mockingbird is better, you're a moron.
