Post an example of a rapper "paying homage", then one of "biting"

[Street Knowledge]

Because alot of times I think people confuse the two

 

[jaydolf spitler]

Mannnnnnnnnn,

When I heard this on the radio i felt bad for all artists struggling to get on and this lame ass wack rapper French Montana used damn near a whole Jay-z Verse and got on the radio

 

[Turbulent]

The Ruler's Back off The Blueprint was paying homage.

"from the womb to the tomb..." line off The Blueprint was biting.

 

[Knights89]

That's not a jay-z verse that's a biggie verse that jay-z bit. Mixed with a Mase verse... Its funny for all the accolades he gets jay-z is the one who made it cool to bite lyrics.

Camel is such a biter he got Nikkas fooled.

Camel is such a biter he got Nikkas fooled.

and this is the difference between biting and paying homage in a nutshell, when you are putting out many songs with significant portions from other rap songs that people are confused wether they are yours or someone else... then its biting case closed.

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

When you pay homage, you are emulating someone under the assumption that the audience is aware of the original inspiration for it.

But when you copy anotha nikkas style and try and pass it off like it's yours, now you a bitin ass nikka.

 

[SummerNights]

Sen City trying to be Max B = Biting
Mac Miller in that mixtape where he shifted his pitch and produced it all was a homage to madlib's quasimoto

 

[Yaboysix]

[Zach Lowe]

Biting: Jay Z
