As an old head I can tell you this isn't even remotely close to what Hov did.



Breh isn't taking a bar or two and flipping it he's taking large chunks of lyrics and interpolations from all sorts of different artists and genres. At that point artists he's biting deserve writing credits and royalties.




I used to say this all the time when defending jay z: it comes down to how popular the song/artist is. 9/10 the song being homages is plainly obvious and of course he’s not trying to pass it off as his

Where it gets tricky is a lyric that the rapper thinks ‘everyone knows’ may be more random than he realizes . Ie in Jay’s mind everybody knows ‘all them rings and things…’ is Big. But that was a random big feature on a Tracy Lee song …Rod wave just posted clips of Pac ‘biting’. In Pac’s mind I’m pretty sure he thought ‘well everybody knows this line’.

So that’s what I think rod wave is doin…but that video long as hell maybe he is taking obscure songs idk



I just watched the vid yea he on some other shyt :laff:

I do think what he does is unique so it’s not the same as a rapper ripping someone’s shyt. So musically I have no problem

However, financially, he’s doin some mixtape type shyt. There’s no way in hell he can be getting away with this on full scale albums without paying up. The people he’s ripping may not even know….but they will now. And he’s gonna have to cut some crazy checks
