    C. or D. THE YELLIN' SHIT chorus (MOP, ol' ONYX, et al)

    Is it true that KRS gets sampled so much cause he or his label never charges?!?!?

    I think there are a lot of singing hooks is because there has always been a need to make rap "acceptable" to critics. 15 years later, it worked to the point where singers are rappers, and hip-hop is now R&B. It's a bit more catchy to the ear if there is a familiar hook.

    If artists are getting paid and paying for their samples, and if they have to pay for a scratched rap lyric, pay. Outside of being used in commercials, I haven't heard too many rappers suing each other. Then again, money is to be made.

    Homage? Pfftt.

    old-school-snoop-dogg-esque-signing-chorus type shit is the TRUTH though...
