A lot of black rappers sample or rip parts of older white bands songs and usually have to pay royalties.

One of the weirdest most recent example was Kayne West (gag) ripped or sampled part of 1970s King Crimson 21st Century Schizoid Man. One of the strangest examples I have ever heard of.

This thread went off track but I don’t mind. The coolest rip/rap I ever heard is Schooly-D’s “Sanctifying Rapper” sampled to Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”. It was on the original soundtrack of “Bad Lieutenant” until Led Zep sued. I found a copy of Schooly-D on eBay, shipped from Germany.
