totally agree, Jay's a biter not a writer. LOL He stole from damn near everyone.

[Robbie G]

I disagree, even if he was biting and trying to get away with it he would have taken lines from someone other than Eminem considering most of his fans have probably heard Eminems album.

[Cyndi]

I don't believe that because he's stole from damn near everyone.

[Robbie G]

oh well, I don't really care he's still sick.

[B.A.D.]

I notice about the line too

hahaha, I think jay-z liked it and prolly even asked em...

hmm correct me if I'm wrong, but using someone elses line without permission is biting
by line I mean (whole 2 bars and same style)...

but has em ever used a line from jay???... they friends anyway.. but its cool for eminem to hear JAY-Z rapping his lines... he may be feelin honored

TO THE MODERATORS
guys, u should take a bit action, members are posting useless replies like:
"I dunno what to think of it"
I don't think that really apports anything guys... try to be more creative at least if you want to increase your post count lol

Quoting is not stealing

loads of rappers have quoted 2 pac, Biggie, Pun, Rakim, nas ect.

and if you listen to eminem, alot of his choruses are "stole" from other artists, and he admits it, i bet if you sayed to jay he would say "yeh its em's line, i thought it was relevent to the verse and i threw it in there to show him some love" or somehting along them lines

[Robbie G]

Yeah, i remember on one song Em used a line from Royce from royce's verse in renegade. I think it was like

"I got a lion in my pocket, im lyin I got a nine in my pocket"

So yeah, I don't think it's a huge deal unless people try to cover it up.

[Evil Genius]

yup i agree jay-z showing respect by quotin .

[Jeffxf]

On the topic of Biting/Respect Eminem did something similar to what Jay did with one of the Beastie Boy lines in the song Showdown with Dre...

Dre grabbed the map, the plaques and the gold
I grabbed two girlies and a {blunt that's rolled

The Beastie Boys in Paul Revere
Mike D. grabbed the money M.C.A. snatched the gold
I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.


come to think of it that whole song seems like its almost a cover...

eminem changes the lines a little bit atleast... i mean i think all of it is cool, it's just showing some love but add something to it!

for example, sampling, i think it's fine but unless u add some of ur shit to it, i dont think it should be considred yours..

can't forget the

Cause I am whatever you say I am
if I wasn't then why would I say I am

and also

I take seven (kids) from (Columbine), stand 'em all in line
Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine
a Mack-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine
and that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time

both are from Rakim
