It might be coincidence or I could just be imagining things but the beginning of his song "My Time" sounds an awful lot like the velvet room theme. Youtube disabled imbedding on this video so I will post the link. It is only for the first 15 seconds or so (don't feel obligated to listen to the rest of his crappy rhymes) 
 

Not really.

No......anyone can make opera sounding music......

Can't listen to it from UK.

I don't really hear any striking similarities.

I guess Im just losing it then. Time to take a break

I know rappers aren't the most grammar conscious folk, but seriously, Fabolous? What the fuck.

A tiny bit like it, not everything revolves around Persona now. Some of you people need to get a grip, no offence, but come on.

Not even close.

And even if it did sound like the Velvet Room music, it's called sampling, not stealing. The owners of the song they sample get their pay.
