Seems to be more on kanye stealing dudes hook and setting jay up to write similar song

Lets not forget jay z using stealing supreme clienteles vibe. Kanye and just admit they made those beats after kiseting to the album, for ghost. But rza said jay z came up to him and told him he inspired the blueprint from his perspective as well
Yeah pretty much.

People gotta stop hating on Hov so much.

Most Hip Hop covers are inspired by other photos, artwork or covers. He's spoken on where he got it from many times. His success doesn't make him except from doing what literally every other artist does. If The Blueprint dropped on Def Jux and sold 15,000 copies, nobody would care. Jean Grae and 9th took 4 different covers from Hip Hop classics and used them for the Jeanius cover and people thought it was so "creative". Most Hip Hop classics have artwork pulled from other sources. Jay does it, and it's "stealing".

The hate is so blatant now. It's corny.
Thread should have died here with this nikka only getting daps and rep, nothing else can be said.
