I'm not saying he doesn't have talent.
I'm just saying that people who completely rip and don't give credit don't deserve to be put on a pedestal.
I totally get that sampling is a big part of hip hop - DJ Shadow lifts whole segments of stuff, but then again he gives total acknowledgement on the sleeve notes.
The fact that he lifted IP in that one case and refused to even acknowledge the fact - and this wasn't just a loop here a drum hit there, this was the whole fucking tune - shows him up as lame in the extreme.
In my humble opinion.
