I think most recognized the lyrics, even if they did not know the name of the original artist. Which is why he did it. Hip hop artists are constantly referencing other lyrics, whether they be hip hop lyrics or lyrics from elsewhere, in their songs. They do it intentionally, with the understanding or hope that the listener will catch and appreciate the reference.
