Often times, rappers will spit a couple of bars previously said by another rapper – typically one they admire and/or said some dope sh*t. Such is the case with Drake on “Who Do You Love?”, but unfortunately, it cost him $100,000.
A few of the opening bars on “Who Do You Love?” are pulled from Rappin 4-Tay’s 1994 hit “Playaz Club,” and 4-Tay wanted to have at least gotten some credit, if nothing else. He never officially filed a lawsuit against Drake, but I guess there were threats of one – because behind closed doors, the guys settled for a cool $100k for “borrowing” the lines. Listen to both records below.
Wonder how Biggie would be taxing all these people if he was alive!

it’s so painful to read these “blogs” and your basic elementary vocabulary. i mean
“Often times, rappers will spit a couple of bars previously said by another rapper”
that sentence just sounds ridiculous.
