Jay-Z - Biting Accusations
Jay-Z has been accused of "biting", or stealing, lyrics from other artists.*[[2]] In the song Ether, for instance, Nas accuses Jay-Z of stealing lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G., who he cites as a rap legend and Jay-Z's apparent friend. Jay-Z has also been accused of stealing the idea for the song "99 Problems" from Ice-T, who had a very similar song. Others however, see this simply as quotations paying homage to deceased rappers (including The Notorious B.I.G. and Big L among others) and prominent hip hop pioneers (i.e. Slick Rick). Jay-Z vehemently denies these accusations, addressing them in the song What More Can I Say on The Black Album: "I'm not a biter/ I'm a writer/ For myself and others/ I say a B.I.G. verse I'm only biggin up my brother". Though these accusations have increased over the past few years, they do not poise as a major issue in the hip hop community, nor have they damaged Jay-Z’s status as a hip hop icon.
Critics who accuse Jay-Z of “biting” often refer to this small assortment of lyrics:
Notorious B.I.G. - "The World Is Filled"
"When the Remi's in the system, ain't no tellin
Will I fuck em will I diss em, that's what these hoes yellin
I'm a pimp by blood, not relation
Y'all still chase on, I'll replace on, punks
Drunk off Dom"
Jay-Z - "Give It 2 Me"
"When the Remi's in the system, ain't no tellin
Will I fuck 'em will I diss 'em, that's what they be yellin

Y'all be chasin, I replace them, huh?
Drunk off Crist"
Notorious B.I.G. - "Who Shot Ya"
"Old school new school need to learn though
