I hate how Vanilla Ice stole the bass intro, and put it in Ice Ice Baby. :(

It's called sampling, and it's often done with permission. I'm not much of a fan of sampling existing music, but I am of sampling speeches and stuff, like with this.

Death Grips - Beware

I know the story behind this.

In 1981 Queen and David Bowie together recorded "Under Pressure" (kind of a last gasp for Queen commercially in America, but that's another story). They were the ones who wrote the original intro with the signature bass line and high-hat drumbeat. Somewhere later in the 80s (probably like 86 or something, I can't remember really) Vanilla Ice decided to be a jerk and steal the intro from the great Under Pressure and insert in into the terrible Ice Ice Baby. He did not ask permission initially, but Queen, being the nice, understanding, and fun loving band they were, decided not to sue him or anything. So, in the end, the bad rapper gets away with plagiarism, and the wonderful rock band goes on making great, yet tragically less well known, music until their lead singer, and magical frontman, Freddie Mercury, dies of AIDS induced Pnemonia in 1991.

Gotta love how this crap works sometimes....I mean, I hate to be that guy, but I do believe if it was my band, I would of sued him if he didn't at least acknowledge that it was sampled from us.

At least it would be like me being Apple which is a greedy ass jerk of a company that sued Samsung for a retarded reason for 1 billion dollars.
