Ripoff!

[Soul Reaper]

I saw a video recently. Some rapper called Trick Daddy basically nicked the Crazy Train riffs. He had guitarists for that song. But the guitarists were probably too shit to pull of the solo. Even I can play it.

Why can't rappers come up with their own stuff instead of nicking other people's ideas?

Example, Vanilla Ice!

That's the difference between rap and rock; rock musicians are able to come up with their own ideas, while rappers don't seem to have the musicianship to do that.

Rapping needs no talent whatsoever. All you need to do is rip off another song, talk over it and every once and a while say "Bitch" or "homes".

An example, here is a famous lyric;

"I live my life like there's no tommorrow
All I got, well, I had to steal"

Now, here is that song ripped off by a rapper;

"I live my life like there's no tommorrow, bitch"
All I got, well, I had to steal, homes"

*************
"My names Sherlock, Homes"

HA-HA!!!

Actually, I think there was a thread about this version of Crazy Train before you joined The Army.
