Word, you know how niggas be biting and shit
Niggas be biting mad styles and shit from niggas, man
Yeah, no doubt
That's what I be hating man, I can't stand a fucking biting ass nigga
Wanna use your lines all ahead of time before you even get a chance to shine on your own shit

from Raekwon (Ft. Ghostface Killah) – Shark Niggas (Biters) Lyrics on Rap Genius

Biting is copying or stealing from someone else, whether it be rhymes, clothes, dance moves, cover art (as we’ll hear later) — whatever.

Biting used to be inexcusable in Hip Hop — even worse than just being wack. But somewhere along the way it became acceptable, the norm. This is Rae and Ghost’s attempt to redress the balance.
