Has Jay Z been stealing for years?

He took Mase style, Young Chris flow, Biggie’s bars, Big L’s lines, summin from Camp Lo apparently and Omillio Sparks chorus and became a GOAT and one of tha most successful hip-hop artist ever...

Did I get everything??

Actually, I was watching an LL Cool J interview. It may have been Drink Champs. He said he got a check in the mail from somebody that used one line of his in a song. He said he was surprised to get the check because it was only one line.

But I think the label was being super-careful. He also mentioned that they were making a video of the song so maybe that's why they cleared 1 line. If it was an album cut they probably wouldn't have cleared it. I wish I could remember where the interview was from.
 
I always saw it as paying homage. Most of the shyt came from popular songs, so most people knew it wasnt his shyt.

Goated for the Serpentor reference.
 
Biting, stealing, whatever you wanna call it is status quo for hip hop. Like it or not can’t think of anyone who hasn’t done something of the form at some point. It ain’t who did it first a lot of the time, it’s who did it best.

That's the thing too... most rappers can't even get a publishing check on their own, much less a publishing check for use of their songs. Biting is not cool, but neither is stifling an artist for money off something they created. Jay did a good job of minimizing that by paying the estates of the artist in question. My brother Canei Finch gets some type of money just for playing 8 bars of piano at the end of American Gangster. Christopher Wallace is credited in a lot of those Jay songs with BIG's lyrics in them. I don't know who that is, but I'm pretty sure he's somewhere enjoying his royalty money.
