I think it's indicative of the low regard with which VGM is held. If the music was "only" from a video game, it can be freely plagiarized and incorporated into new, derivative works without the author's permission. But if a Nelly song were treated in that way, ripped off and sampled into a new track, swams of lawyers would appear, locustlike, and blot out the sun itself.
I hope the original artist at least gets an official acknowledgement, if not a huge cash payoff. Of course, that might be tied to my dislike of rap as a genre and, conversely, my love for VGM. How ya doing, buddy?
