Old Pablo said something to the effect of 'a good artist immitates, a
great one steals'.

BTW: Can anybody explain to me the difference between Puff Daddy and MC
Hammer/Vanilla Ice?  This is not a joke.  The last two were vilified for
plundering the works of others, using the quotes in the same way as the
were intended to be used, and rapping on top of them.

How do you spell Puff Daddy?  Has he been given credibility because of
his bullshit 'from the street' posture?

PE, where are you?
