By other hip hop artists?

I assume it has something to do with the culture of the genre. Still in all the years I figured there would be a few. Or maybe there are and I missed them?

Biting lyrics is looked down upon.

That said, plenty of artists use lyrics to pay respect to another artist or sample another artist.

They sample. They don’t cover. It’s about the hooks and beats
