That’s all rappers do is bite off and sample one another’s music and lyrics. Is this some kind of epiphany for you? One of the reasons I’m not really a fan of the genre. Not much originality to it and they cut their teeth on the backs of others. Just my humble opinion

It’s not just hip hop, other genres do it too. Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love has lyrics from Willie Dixon’s You Need Love. The Lemon song also have lyrics taken from another song. Britney Spears Toxic was sampled from an 80s Bollywood Musical.
