That is nothing new. People have been covering each other since the beginning of music just the technology and aesthetic has changed.

As for the sampling you are referencing, that has been happening in hip hop for a very long time. Many people have used the same beats and samples to make songs that are almost identical or entirely different.

Bound 2 - Kanye West

use the same sample but are completely different songs.

Bound - Ponderosa Twins Plus One
