I still don't understand why it is biting. Was it biting when C-Bo and Capt Save Em remade "Ambitionz Az A Rider?"
That was basically a tribute song to pac. Saying that they were still ridin for em. Tributes & remakes of songs aren't the same thing.

First of all that was a sample not a remake of the entire song. Jay-Z used the same concept, verses, and beats 2pac used for Me And My Girlfriend. Sampling a rapper is cool because rap is famous for that but remaking an entire song word for word by a rapper that hated you? How is that tight? I hate it when a rapper remakes someone elses song because it usually comes out sounding like shit, just like ja rule ruined 2pac's "pain". I don't care where your from, west coast, south, north, east coast, copying another rappers song word for word and trying to get paid off of it is really uncreative, come up with your own shit!!!
Also with that 2pac "Pain" & Method Man "Bring The Pain" thing. Both songs came out the same year, how do you know that method man didn't bite 2pac or both of them ripped another rapper? How does that even relate to remaking a song? Pac didn't use the same beat as method man & vice versa.
