Copyright question.

I own a rap board, in which we have Audio Battles, in which someone uses a mic and records a battle or diss to put up against their opponent. Now, in music as you know, there is not only just the singer's voice, but background music (instrumentals).

My question is this, are we allowed to use instrumentals from other songs for our audio battles, or would that be a copyright infrigment? Real rappers do it, ie they make a remix of another person's song using the instrumentals.

I'm just making sure so I don't get a TOS violation.[/b]
