To all the older heads are there any examples of a rapper literaly jacking style, voice, flow lyrics from a rapper back in your day?

I'm hearing this desiigner future poser and it's literally disgusting, just wondering if this is a new trend or if this has been happening

From the South so I can give you some examples from down here...

Trick Daddy copying his whole entire style from Thrill da Playa (69 Boyz) back in 97, 98. They were always cool though.

Early 2000s Pastor Troy clones like Miracle and Drama

DJ Michael Watts starting to copy DJ Screw and slow down music in 98, 99. Most cats don't even know...DJ Screw didnt really chop up beats. He'd slow it down and run certain parts back but that whole "Screwed and Chopped" thing is Watts. There's a distinct difference.
