I know this is was and is a long time coming but yes. This is something that everyone has done or dealt with. This is something that can gain a lot of ass whoppings in the hip hop community. Lets first get the definition.
Biting: to plagiarize, typically in reference to a hip-hop artist stealing another hip-hop artist's lyrics.
This is something that a lot of artists can't stand. Most of the older schooled hip hop vets know this first hand because a lot of their rhymes were and are still being taken quoted. While this is bad other rappers can take this and turn it into great songs. Ex Now isn't this great your flight leaves at eight her flight lands at night by Notorious B.I.G's Gimme one more chance which was bitten by Jay-Z Girls girls girls remix.
Now biting is something that a lot of artist take lightly. I personally think as long as you don't A) over do it B) give props to who ever first said it. Then it is okay when done in good taste.
Now im taking ideas for what the next Hip Hop Lesson
Peace and Soul
