influence by way of biting = an excuse to legitimize capitalizing off of anothers creativity. Dress it up in fancy words, claim that your giving honor & praise then suddenly it seems "ok"

This is the truth, but we also cant deny the fact that some people are truly inspired by another style that they feel compelled to "create" their own version of that style.
And sadly others who lack originality look for ways to capitalize off what someone else is doing.

was listening to Blueprint today and remembered
"From the ? to the tomb, from now until my doom
Drink army from one cup pass it around the room
That's the ritual"
how the hell do you take someone's raps and diss them on the same album? what is that? -
Another reason why BP isn't my favorite Jay
Reasonable Doubt has no bitten lyrics. -
"can I kick it? Yes you can"

As Jay fan, I have to say Jay is Nas's biggest fan.

a biter is someone who takes their whole style from someone. influence is to take bits and pieces from a rapper who came before u (even if they are still active) or someone u have been around and u add ur own to it. every rapper that comes out will be influenced by someone...u can normally tell who their favorite rapper is. to remake a song, to use a hook, to take lines is not biting. its not words its style and image.

in this song i said a lyric similar to a line in a classic Bone Thugs song, some may consider it biting, but in my eyes i was kinda payin homage

Nah, that ain't biting
They were a parody of Bone Thugs. -
Influence & biting are 1 and the same.
You are biting, the ? you have been influenced by.
It's Just the times are different.back in the days Mike Jackson bites James Brown, he was inspired.
Nowadays Drake is influenced by Hov, he's biting.

Biting is literally saying the line like Jay b doing or a DJ scratching but influence is when you here somebody and they inspire you to either
a. write similar lyrics and/or have a similar flow
b. encourages you to improve and adapt upon your own style -
Influence is something that you can identify in sound, for example in Kendrick's debut, there is def a 2001, chronic, ? kind of influence, the album develops as somewhat as a story, with skits and those lil particulars that you could link to those albums. Biting is when you clearly taking a bunch of ? lines and you don't leave no sort of hint, basically passing it off as your own that's biting, plagiarism.
