just that it means you don't get any credit for "writing" the song.
Why? As I've said, most often the song doesn't even sound anything like the original. It's not like they just take a song, remove the vocals and rap over it. A lot of producers will get up to seven or eight different songs, take little snippets from each, and put them together to create something new. Sure, sometimes an entire bassline is used, but even then, it rarely (if ever) sounds much like the original song due to other samples being used, different vocal melodies, etc.

Of course the original artists deserve credit, but to say the producers/rappers deserve none is ****ing ridiculous.

The hell? Yes you did. You just didn't write those two chapters.

P.S. Wayfarer, be less serious...
I'm not as serious as it seems, trust me, lol. Just a bit grating, having to type out the same post out over and over again because people keep saying you're wrong but aren't even defeating your argument.
