The music industry is built on sampling. ZZ Top is from the West Side/Out Skirts of Houston. Like the article mentioned that's an older Houston rapper song. So ZZ Top is familiar with that genre.

uhh.. not according to that link you posted.. not stealing when you openly credit the original as the influence.

One of the original contributors to 25 Lighters, Patrick “Fat Pat” Lamont Hawkins, was fatally shot in February 1998 – ironically, after he tried to get paid: shot by assailants unknown after trying to collect payment from a promoter. (Fat Pat’s rapper brother, Big Hawk, was also shot and killed in 2006.) Gibbons is making sure that everyone is credited and paid for contributions.

At the time of writing, the song’s credits are still unconfirmed on the MCPS/PRS database. The original “25 Lighters” is credited to Dorie Dorsey (aka DJ DMD), Kyle West (composer, producer) and Albert Brown III (aka Al B Sure! – singer, performer and cousin of West) – these last two are best known as proponents of New Jack Swing in the 80s and probably credited for a sample used in the track. Dorie Dorsey/DJ DMD now makes ‘Christian Hip-Hop’, including a reworking of 25 Lighters titled 25 Bibles On My Dresser.

I haven't seen the liner notes from the CD, but pretty sure ZZ will credit them. Not the first time ZZ has pulled influence from other styles of music.

I type faster than i think, I meant to say sampling!

Holy shit, Lil KeKe is still alive?!? He used to be one of Screw's crew. I have that song on an OLD garage made Screw tape....

BTW, that album cover of one of the rap albums is funny.....a fuel tanker headed to Port Arthur....what a shocker.
