Reused Verses....

[WestSideDon]

So I wanted to ask what you think of artists reusing verses or parts of verses on other song, we can also discuss some examples, maybe this will also bring clarity to some "which song was the first one" discussions....

Snoop doggy dogg - may i -------------- Snoop dogg & JD - we just wanna party

May I lyrics

To be a high rolla, you need a pistola
And about a half a key of some Coca Cola
Now that I got older, I got a little colder
And I don't trip to get a chip off my nigga's shoulder
Maaann, dreams of a gangsta, being like Cagney
or Bogie, but Snoop Doggy
Ain't no follower, man, I'm a general, so when I put it down I gots to be so orignal
I'm quick to bust, just like Daz Dillinger
But that's the little homie,and I'm the big homie, Snoop Don Corleone
Spittin three words up in lightnin
As long as I'm bouncin with this I know you likin this
Fo' sho tho, you can't take my photo
I'm layin or throwin up DPG in a grey fo'do
Get pushed around downtown in the back of a car
The Double R from the dirt to the stars

we just wanna party lyrics

To be a high roller, you need a pistola
And about a half a key of some Coca-Cola
Now that I got older, I got a little colder
And I don't trip to get a chip off my [nigga's] shoulder
Mad dreams, of a gangsta being like Cagney
Or Bogey but Snoop Doggy
Ain't no follower, man I'mma General
So when I put it down I gots to be so original
I'm quick to bust just like Daz Dillinger
But that's the little homey and I'm the big homey Snoop Don Corleone
Spittin it, hittin it, while I'm gettin that
Bout it, bout it, and happy to shout out, mmm
I dissapear 'fore the game get crowded
Take a trip overseas to the West Indies, freeze
JD (uh-huh), music please

Didn't remember this one also beeing an partly reused verse...
But May I is a sick track, with 3 dope verses 
Obviousley May 1 wasmade first and the one verse was partly reused for the jd song

I think it's lack of creativity, lack of passion for the craft, and wack. as an artist you suppose to keep ya pen game sharp and keep honing your craft. we often wonder why some rappers can't deliver an album as great as their best shit...they ran outta recycled verses to spit.

bad ass said snoop used that verse on the unleaked/og version of 'only move fo tha $' with daz,bad ass and pac

Didn't know that, thx for the info 

[HighEyeCue]

I dont really have a problem with it...Daz has used his "Don't Stop" verses and Kurupt his "Started" verses numerous times...both original tracks were on "The Last of Tha Pound"

Also Snoops verses for May I (for example) was probably written by him, and 6 other rappers in the room...

Whereas he would've just have to change a few words for the JD track...and fuck whoever helped him write it the first time

I remember when I bought dead man walkin' it did have hella writers on that track in the credits.

It doesn't really bother me, provided that the verse comes from a song that was likely going to be shelved.  Death Row did it a lot, as has been pointed out.

Kurupt re-used his verses from Dumpin and This Life I Lead and put them on Loc'd Out Hood from Gang Related

Mack 10 re-used his verse from Keep It Real and put it on Only in California with Snoop

Snoop re-used his shit a ton of times... wasn't the same verse used on Midnight Love, Poor Ol Dave and some other song from Lost Sessions?

Yeah that one snoop verse was used by him a lot of times, but I don't really have an issue with it since besides midnight love these tracks were never officially released and probably just experiments to see which beat and guests fits the verses best, and it wasn't really planned to release all the different versions

Edit:
The other songs was "One Life To Live" with Rage & Tech

[Sccit]

every1 does it...not really a big deal

[Blood$]

Jayo Felony was the king of recycling verses at one point, dude would spit a 16 freestyling at a radio station then go use that same verse for a feature and then proceed to make a solo track using it

[DeeezNuuuts83]

Eminem would do that a lot, with those verses he'd spit on the Wake Up Show or whatever. Even some of his rounds from battles got re-used.

[Will_B]

I really don't mind that in Hiphop if you're 'calling back' to an old verse of your own, or paying homage to another. It's an established part of the art form

If you're a mash and dash rapper tho, and every other verse is interchangeable...then it's just lazy
