Jay-Z's opponents often cite Jay-Z's common "biting" or reusing lyrics from other artists' songs. On "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)," Jay-Z "bites" from "The World Is Filled..." by
The Notorious B.I.G. . The writers of "The World Is Filled..." all received writing credits for "I Just Wanna Love U."Jay-Z's lyrics:cquote
When the Rémy's in the system, ain't no tellin
Will I fuck 'em will I diss 'em, that's what they be yellin
I'm apimp by blood, not relation
Y'all be chasin, I replace them
Drunk off Crist...
The Notorious B.I.G.'s lyrics:cquote
When the Rémy's in the system, ain't no tellin
Will I fuck 'em will I diss 'em, that's what these hoes yellin
I'm a pimp by blood, not relation
Y'all still chase on, I'll replace on, punks
Drunk off Dom...Jay-Z himself has defended the practice as a tribute rather than plagarism. On the song "
What More Can I Say " he says:cquote
I'm not a biter, I'm a writer for myself and others
I say a B.I.G. verse, I'm only bigging up my brother...ingle track list
