------------------------------------------------------------------
So their is little doubt Jay-Z is a biter, but he is far from the only one. Look at Nas, he bit off of Snoop Dogg for his crappy OOchie Wally verse. Snoop made a threat to sue him though, so maybe Jay-Z shouldn't use that example for his defense, but still can anyone deny Jigga's impact on the game (well Nas did, but Jay slept with his baby mother but ummmm yeah) . or maybe just like he explained his use of using Biggies lines as simply "I'm just bigging up my burough/ Bigging up my brother/ Cause I'm Big enough to do it" he was doing the same for the rest of the rappers on the list. I mean who can deny Mase's ability to create hip hop qoutables hmmm? just look at the lyrical skill he brought to the game . HA HA HA.
To tell the truth Jay-Z is a biter but everyone was so into his personnal AD campaign (you know how it goes "/everyone arguing/ who da best/ Big Jay-Z/ or Nas") that we automatically believed he was writing his own shit. even when Nas called him out on it (in Ether .........thank God for Ether as Eternal Evidence that Jay-Z is not the best) we let it slide. And the worse part about this entire thing is I know its gonna be forgotten sooner rather than later, and if he pulls a Mase 5 years from now everyone is gonna get hyped.
