I've always wondered how this doesn't happen more often.

These guys probably listen to more music than most of mankind. It would not shock me for one of them to think they've created a beat when in fact, its just a beat from a song they heard coming from the nether regions of their brain.

Guess they all need a Shazam app to make sure their beat is original.

Of course, they could have just stole it, but I like thinking about the above scenario.

Yup. It's happened to me when writing music on guitar

You have to be skillful enough to be inspired by & not copy.

Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop til you get Enough' was directly influenced by the Jazz/Funk Gaye tune.

The difference in talent/skill between Jackson & Pharrel/Thicker is evident in how he navigated the song without coming so close to the original Gaye tune.

Marvin Gaye's dance song(an answer to disco which he did not like) was so unique I don't know why anyone would record something so similar.
