SAMPLE LOVER OR THIEF?
Original Sample from "Run This Town" (Prod. By MLVK Jr.)
As u can see the only thing he sampled was that Guitar riff from the intro...
Listen below to hear how similar it is...
Original sample from "A Star Is Born"
Jay-Z - A Star is Born (feat. J. Cole) - 'The Blueprint 3' 2009
Now here's the Original sample from "DOA" ("Prod. By No I.D.")
This is pretty much 90% of what we hear on DOA....he didn't rearrange the track...the only difference between this and DOA is Jay's lyrics
Jay-Z, DOA
He did the same with "Success"
Jay Z ft. Nas- Success

NO I.D. has been one of the best producers since the early 90's and these sampling methods are the same ones that've been used since hip-hop began. No different than Sylvia Striplin's "you can't turn me away", which was used for "Get Money"; straight loop. I think it's ok because it brings awareness to the original artists from which the samples were lifted. So, yeah, he's a sample lover and a borrower, but not a thief.
