In regard to the biting, Puff was a huge biter himself. He helped developed Mary, but Mary fell out with Puff because of Faith. Can't act like Puff didn't bite that whole black leather look from Jodeci. I think Devante called him out on that. There's Total, their look was lifted off Xscape (and JD was accused of lifting Xscape's look off Devante's Sista).

I didn’t say they carried themselves the same. I replied directly to you that I was talking about clothing having admitted I didn’t know onyx wrote for them cuz I was listening to no damn run dmc. What are you still even going on about?


I also stated how letting a group write for you and mold you is not biting - they’re literally giving you everything.
It is biting if u already have an established brand. U wasn't bumpin Down With The King in the 90s? It's not like the song wasn't popular. It was one of their most popular songs. Some people don't even realize it was a Run DMC song.

Puff def bit. But he would really mostly bite off his own groups n shyt. lol. Yes JD bit off Sista. And he bit Timbo and Ginuwine for Usher in 98 as well.

I said why this isn’t biting. You feel it is, cool. We don’t agree. I’m not gonna keep going back and forth on this as one, I don’t care, it’s not the topic at hand, two, we clearly see biting in two very different lenses

Nah the way Puff was doin shyt was different and his shyt dated back to Jodeci Come And Talk To Me remix. All them hip hop remixes with rappers on the RnB joints the way Puff did all that shyt was different. Even did a whole hip hop remix album of What's The 411?..Also what did JD do with Baby Baby Baby? Cause he damn sure aint write and produce it. Either way it was still after Jodeci.

He was definitely a wave rider when it came to Hip-Hop. When Death row was hot, he had Brat looking and sounding like she was Compton.
didnt puff build the rap side of his career copying off of Death Row and using the same sample formula as what the West was doin,:comeon:

idk why this whole "well JD copied..." like Puff wasnt copying to.

Puff def used the West Coast polish. JD literally carbon copied artists tho. Like made his own versions of popular artists that were already out. It was FAR more flagrant. lol

copying/biting is copying/biting. Hell you can say RTD and its use of sampling and Biggies persona was a copy of being a East coast Doggystle.

Ahh the “puff just did it different” defense. Teddy Riley led the charge in creating rap r&b mashups, diddy jacked that trend that was already emerging to be popular on the east coast.

JD produced the remix of baby baby baby

and miss me with the either way shyt. Y’all are literally arguing that two peers who were developing at the same time, in real time, one was being copied? JD was out here producing, being in videos, writing, remixing and launching a label before puff, they both bit the success of gfunk and styled their 94 sound off it. I mean you’re really trying to credit a 92 puff who was an actual background player at uptown as who JD was styling himself after as the label head of so so def while launching the careers of Kriss Kross?
