I would be mad you were hyping such an old band if it was anybody other than kya bamba. They're the shit.

Not really, all their shit is sampled and its a small miracle Kya Bamba still exists, if any dancehall artists were sober enough to know what was going on at any point in time, they would have drowned Kya Bamba in a tsunami of lawsuits.

To the best of my knowledge, the only original song Kya Bamba has ever put out is Piece of the Pie.

Technically they would not, what Kya Bamab does is make mixtapes. They do not sell them for profit and the best way to look at it is free advertising for the artist.  Its the same thing your favorite rappers do prior to a release of an album, they often sample other peoples songs but they do not sell them. It generates awareness for the artist and usually more people will pick up an album or a song off itunes if they have heard he or she prior. I think there was a rapper by the name of wayne who was pretty good at doing this and in return generated a lot album sales...correct me if im wrong

I don't even care if he does a lot of covers cuz they are the shit and he makes them flow so ghood! Also he changes a lot in his covers to. Not like they are even close to the real song anymore for the most part. Besides, who doesn't like mixtapes? And your right, lil wayne has done a ton of this.

nope.  samples an old lee scratch perry song, "jungle lion."
