When I hear a recycled/rephrased line, I think "Damn, where did I hear something similar to that before..." and I start thinking and backtracking..And then when I finally get it, I be like "That's nice, showing respect to Run DMC, Slick Rick, Kool G, Biggie" or whoever.. it's brainfood.The LEAST intelligent way to give shoutouts or pay homage, is lines like "It's nuthin like a G thang, like I'm Doctor Dre", "I sip that Gin & Juice like my name was Snoop", "I got hoes in different area codes, like I'm Luda or Nate", "I'm known to Regulate, like I'm Warren G"...Unless you're collabing with the artist you're shouting out on the same track, lines like that sound moronic.. 95% of rappers does it.
