Recycling an EPMD beat for his first hit single.
This just reminded me of something from waaay back.. Jay-Z's first hit was "Aint No nikka". I remember when I went to the record store, Jay-Z single for "Ain't No nikka" (Clean version went by "Ain't No Playa") was there at the exact same time as Rapping 4 Tay's "Ain't No Playa" single. Their hooks were identical.
