I posted it long before.
Time to make some things clearer:
Rappers sample all the time. In most famous cases, they pay for the sampled stuff, so indeed it's legal.
In that special Dimmu Borgir case, it wasn't legal. The management of Dimmu Borgir has recognized it via the internet and the lawyers are talking to come to an agreement (financally, I guess). Bushido is not an underground-rapper, he sold many, many records and made a lot of money.
He should at least have mentioned that he took a Dimmu Borgir song. He didn't, that's stealing.
And overall, I'm not against sampling.
