Conicidentally, yesterday I was listening to classic hip hop songs about biting (A.K.A. plagiarizing), and then I came across this (much more recent) song on the same topic. I kept meaning to delve into music by this artist, but put it off even although I was familiar enough with it to know they cover a range of subject matter in their lyrics. This song goes after not just outright plagiarists, but also unoriginal “artists” making hip hop music, and one can’t help but detect a tone of bitterness over lesser artists being the ones who often get the fame and money, and resentment towards a system that rewards conformity over creativity.
Note: Woohoo, HD!
