Jay-Z is dope, and he 'bites'. It depends on the intention of the person using the lines. Jay's good enough to not bite, so his using other people's shit comes off as a tribute. Yea, he 'stole' another rapper's style. So what? Everyone is influenced by other people in their craft.
When people scream Jay-Z is a biter, they come off as the type of backpacker kids Nik thinks he's talking about when he lumps them all together. It makes people who like 'nerd rap' (stupid term) look bad, but whatever. Nik and people like him are the other side of the idiot spectrum.
