2990829, It's funny in hindsight how MCs used to kind of "get away" with that. Posted by Brew, Tue May-23-17 08:15 AM I recall Common using similar lyrics on songs like "Life Goes On" and "Tekzilla," and shit like that. A lot of MCs did it because it wasn't as easy to access these mixtape type songs so hardly anyone noticed or really cared if they did. An MC reusing whole verses now would get killed on the internet.
