One of the greatest ways to sample another rappers lines to me is referencing it like they had a 1 on 1 with them

I resolve as I say in that public hall with Jay, he said it’s funny how 1 verse can f*** up the game

50 told me gon head and switch the style up and if they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up

Any other examples?

man lock this s***

agreed tbh
least cliche way to pay homage and always sounds good

I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing to me
he had me feeling like black was the thing to be

doesn’t rly count but this line always stood out to me

Yeah

And some of them could even be referencing a real convo they had with said artist, but using a line that generalizes the convo while not blowing up the literal words they spoked

They say more money, more problems (Well)
Bring on the problems (Well)
Bring on the problems (Well)
Bring on the motherfuckin' problems
They say more money, more problems
Bring on the problems
Bring on the problems
Bring on the motherfuckin' problems, ayy

The way the problems were brought 😭

Conway

“We was tryna sell a key a night / 'Cause Nas said a G at night wasn't good enough, and he was right”

JAY Z

“First thing I wanted to know was the reason he was dead
"Mo' Money Mo' Problems,'" better believe it," he said
"Careful what you wish for, you might receive it," he said”

Chorus: Gucci Mane
You betta not lose that load
Don't lose that load
Don't lose that load
You betta not lose that load
Nigga I got blow
And I sell dope
I know El Chapo
I cannot lose no load
You betta not lose no load (Load)
You betta not lose no load
You betta not lose no load
You betta not lose no load

Verse 2: Chief Keef
Ayy
I ain't gonna lie, I lost the load

Man shut your dumb ass up

Slightly related genre:

“I made Jesus Walks I’m never going to hell” - Kanye West, Otis

“I met Kanye West I’m never going to fail” - Chance The Rapper, Ultra Light Beam

Niggas don’t have iconic enough bars to do this after 2016 lol

“I take my shirt off and all the hoes stop breathing, you take your shirt off and all the hoes start leaving”

(Yeah, you’re right)

I learned working with the negatives could make for better pictures

So yeah, I sampled your voice, you was using it wrong.
