Lloyd Banks sounds kinda like a hoarse 50

Spliff Star sounds like a more subdued Busta

Juelz Santana kind of has Cam'ron's rhyming style, and J.R. Writer sounds like an exact cross between Cam and Juelz

it's just a funny phenomenon to me because every platinum rapper is surrounded by upstart dudes that they're putting on or that are trying to get their own careers started, and sometimes they think the best way to do that is to sound as much like the famous guy they know as they can.

also, Kanye and Consequence sound similiar sometimes.

memphis bleek appropriates some jay-zish phrasing (a cocky "yup" for exmaple), usually to ill effect (ill meaning bad not ill meaning good)

I dunno, I thought about mentioning Bleek, but they have completely different voices, and when his rhymes are similiar it's usually because Jay wrote them. plus almost every rapper cops some Jay-isms here and there.

shyne sounds a whole lot like biggie.

yeah, but they didn't know each other or work together! I'm talking about rappers who are in a group together or collaborate a lot.

Jadakiss and Styles P. sometimes sound similiar.
