So, when someone who has not dabbled in classical tries it, it's stealing? When blues spread, it's been misappropriated? (BTW, I didn't even know that the song in question was rap - so, to your disappointment, my comment wasn't a racial thing.)
You're taking this way too seriously. I simply meant that to copy, word-for-word, someone else's lyrics and drop them into your own song seems plagiaristic to me. Sampling seems different, as it is clear what's going on. Think most of the listeners to your song know who Buffalo Springfield was?
