Jay & Biting???

[Spyder]

ok ive made a topic about this before, but there is new people and new opinions so dont flame me over it.

Jay has ALOT of BIG's lyrics hense what Nas Ether'ed him about
i posted a video on here before where he takes like 4 bars of a song from BIG or someshit i mean
James R. came and said that he used lines that people would know, not trying to make them his
well i dont think the casual fan would know, seens how i didnt, and im only starting to expand my rap past about 5 real rappers

also i thought it was funny how he used Em's line in a song that collaborates with someone who told him to stop taking lyrics

"i used to give a fuck, now i give a fuck less
what do i think of success, sucks to much stress"

he used that in "Succes" with Nas... who called him out on Biting

I like Jay, it just.......... DAMN your thoughts?

"i used to give a fuck, now i give a fuck less
what do i think of success, sucks to much stress"

I don't think Em used that first, I mean, like a dozen rappers used that...

And, 'bout the biting, well, it's more of like paying homage, though, you're right, it does get annoying sometimes.

[Spyder]

BUT good sir

he does it alot

without saying shit like

"ima do what 50 told me and go head switch the style up
and if they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up"

Kayne gave respect to 50

Jay dont

@ at Zu, really cause i only heard them 2 say it but yes ya know, think of your own lyrics

He doesn't need to name Biggie, that's just cliché. And, well, I think that succes line is more like a saying than a bar.

[Spyder]

i guess

anyone elses thoughts??

[Relapse.LP]

Jay-Z mainly does that to show his respect to the game. He's not showing any disrespect or anything to anyone; he's a chill dude and wouldn't be that aggressive that way to any MC.

[Spyder]

how do you know

[Relapse.LP]

they hung out duhh.....LP is Dame Dash

Yeah, man. Still pissed off at Jay-Z breaking our partnership.

[Epidemik]

if jay is just paying tribute than he does it way to often... listen to "Im not a writer im a biter"
he "pays tribute" waaay to much..

[Spyder]

damn like his whole verse from The Rulers Back is "paying homage" lol
thats fucked up son... bites Nas who called him out. BIG, then says he better than him
uses others lyrics on Renegade which isnt even his track with Em, its Royce wit Em
Nas says Em killed him on it anyway... then uses Em lyrics on a track wit Nas who called him out

LMAO at the end of the video... "plus i know my own flow sound stupid"

[KillahBee]

Jay's ''I through the fork in road and went straight'' line off renegade was bit off Cappadonna from Wu tang clan

He bites alot but he sounds good doing it!

[DrRapid]

He does bite and it sometimes gets annoying but it doesn't always bother me. Even at time I like it cause it's just cool that he's using the lines of another great rapper.
