But then again, there is a difference between being the above and straight up biting. I don't listen to the affiliated artists, I'll admit. Also haven't checked out the guys on here, as said. So I cannot directly comment on that all.
But some of the things that you said about like rapping about martial arts and shit like that, I'm pretty sure it'd be easy enough to find people who'll focus on those subjects, however niche, who may even not listen to Wu or whatever. ICP were rapping about wanting to be ninjas before Wu-Tang Clan even put out a CD, afaik. So, yeah...
Assassin, point me in the direction of the myspaces of a couple of the copycats and then I'll hit back with opinions not from the top of my head in reply to the first post only deal.
But yeah on a lighter note; gimmick biting - see Flair. lol
