from Bill's Twitter:
haha wow. if a respected rapper u are kool with bites the title of one of your most popular songs on his new album, is that kool? #biters
Bill is referring to "Cult Leader" off of All 6s & 7s. Bill is probably taking this especially personally since Tech already bit Necro (Bill's brother) with "Sexorcist".

Never bought his albums & never will. Yet I do have all of 2Pac, Tech N9ne & Eminem's albums. Yea, I don't know hip hop. I listen to Run DMC, BDP, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Yukmouth, Redman & Method Man, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Hopsin, Outkast, Atmosphere, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Proof, Big L, NWA, DMX, Brotha Lynch, Chamillionaire, Immortal Technique etc. So I don't know hip hop? Nice try.

for the record ILL BILL is one of the greatest to ever pick up the mic...try to deny that and you have no hip-hop understanding he is a legend (NOT saying tech isnt)
well....i mean i dont know when i saw cult leader on the tracklisting all i thought was this and when i heard the intro to it i thought it as well
and ILL BILL is one of my favorite MC's
you can only rap about so many things so many different ways...

It's one of those "effects", where you switch your flow up a bit, "copy" something from a popular, recognizable song. Maybe you switch the words, maybe you don't, but it's supposed to reference that song, artist, or bring the listener more "into the song" when they go "aww shit, I recognize that".
The most recent version of Tech doing this that I can recall is on "Sex to the Beat" where he uses the "Run and tell that homeboy" line from that YouTube sensation. It's referencing it, not "stealing" it. Supposed to be humorous.

:facepalm: Do you understand referencing a flow or lyric? Artists do it all the time, and often times they use something so common and well known that it's OBVIOUS they're doing it.
mast3rmind said:Tech n9ne is a major biter.
He even stole from Limp Bikit on this disc. Necro, and Ill Bill.
On you owe like Pookie he says "like a chump hey hey" thats a line from Nookie. Big time biter tech!
