Well, yeah, there's that as well. And when I call Leeb a "rip-off artist", I don't mean that he literally sampled every note he's ever recorded. There are a good number of samples (some more obvious than others), but a lot of it is more a generally lack of originality. Everything seems to be stylistically derived from something that someone else did better in the past.
