A lot of these are stretches. There's subtle allusions all the time in hip-hop. "Pusha bit Scarface's flow and bars on Nightmares! 
" 
" 
That's different tho'... because it was kinda the point. They were a direct reference to the fact that he was goin' at Big on the song. It's not like it was a song that had nothing to do with Big and he just did it for the hell of it.
Homie with the DMX line was the biggest stretch in the thread tho'
"Needy" and "greedy" rhyme... they were bound to be used together again someday, but that's not a jack of Biggie's line in any kinda way.

people bite & emulate Pac's style and image more than his actual bars. of course it happens but i think Biggie's bars get bitten more often than Pac
theres a difference between bitin lines and usin lines that EVERYONE knows is bigs
like that nas hook on LRNA
now jay sayin lesser known likes like 'its hard to yell when the barrels in ya mouth' is different

They like what that mean
Biggie "Old School New School Need to Learn though, I burn Baby Burn like Disco Inferno" 94 (Who Shot Ya)
NaS: "I'm tryin to kick that shyt you need to learn though, That Ether, that shyt that make your soul burn slow" 01' (Ether) (The song also samples the gunshots in Who Shot Ya)
This is a wild ass reach

That Biggie line Nas used is just as random tho'... that's from a verse on a Red Hot Lover Tone song of all things. It doesn't get more random than that.
But yeah... I don't think it makes a diff either way, it's not like people are using them and trying to pass them off as their own. MOST of the Big lines are pretty well-known ones- I don't think anyone uses "It was all a dream" thinking nobody'll notice...
It does say a lot about how great a lot of his rhymes were tho'.

(fukk the other rappers) but are ya'll act like Hov and Nas need Big's lyrics too bite. Are you trynna say that they would be lyrically incompotent without them? I don't get the point of this thread.

The point of this thread is asking how a guy with only 2 LP's has been bitten this much lyrically. The question of the thread is Biggie the most bitten rapper of all time. Nobody is saying NaS or Hov need Big rhymes but they both have taken rhymes from him as well as a lot of hip hop.

easy answer....... when you look at biggie's limited musical catalog next to all other artist in the goat convo who all have hundreds of songs its easy to assess he is the p4p goat of hip hop history by the way his enemies and peers have stanned his lines in life and death...

Well it's not just about rhyming "Needy and Greedy" but how each word is used. X and Big used them in the same way but I said it "May" be a bite not that it was.
I think Big just had a unique way of saying his rhymes that other emcees really paid attention. It's funny cause sometimes fans say Big was a "Simple" or "Basic" lyricist but Big was the master at getting more out of less. He didn't need to do acrobatics or crazy vocab, he got so much out of 1 line it's crazy. Take a line like "Birthdays are the worst days now we sip champagne when we thirsty". It's like when a rapper is in the booth, for some reason or another a Biggie rhyme just fits in their rhyme scheme cause his bars are timeless.
I listened to almost every Biggie verse he released and I seriously couldn't find a "Wack" verse. There may be a average line here or there but his verses were always tight. It didn't matter who he was on a track with. It could be Michael Jackson or Shaq, Biggie always went in on his verses. It's just funny that the guy with the most limited material is the most sampled lyricist. Big was like the Hendrix/Bruce Lee of Hip Hop. He is admired for his skillset on the mic even though he had limited material.

Most of the time it's homage not biting.
