In hip-hop culture, if someone is “biting” your rhymes, that means they’re stealing your lyrics and using them as their own. Basically it means someone has stolen your shit. Someone bit my blog.

In June I wrote about a video I found on YouTube (a guy dancing). I compared it to how I wanted Tap or Die to progress as a business (the excerpt is below). Then someone copied that blog entry and inserted their own information, that’s biting. In the street, you’d probably get kicked in the teeth, and the matter would be forgotten. On the internet what can you do? I’m just letting people know to stop biting my style.

Mine:

I found the perfect representation of how Tap or Die will take off. Right now Tap or Die is this guy in the video, alone and a little weird, the people that read this blog and who have already pre-ordered shirts are the second and third guy to start dancing. Once I get the t-shirts out, I think all the other crazy people will come out of the woodwork and join the group.
If the first guy would have stopped dancing, nothing would have happened, but he didn’t. He was dancing for himself, then someone joined him and then a third and it was all over from then on. People wanted to be a part of it. Tap or Die is for me, and a few crazy people that want to be a part of it.

The Biter’s:

I found the perfect representation of how Reikoku Jiu-Jitsu will take off. Right now Reikoku Jiu-Jitsu is this guy in the video, alone and a little weird, out in the countryside of Japan. I mean literally out in the rice paddies, the people that read this are the second and third guy to start dancing. Once I get the word out, I think all the other crazy people will come out of the woodwork and join the training group.

If the first guy would have stopped dancing, nothing would have happened, but he didn’t. He was dancing for himself, then someone joined him and then a third and it was all over from then on. People wanted to be a part of it. This is what Reikoku Jiu-Jitsu is for me, and a few crazy people that want to be a part of it.

You might have bit off more than you can chew—Tap or Die
