Hard to compare, but I will say this. No group has done more to establish the legitimacy of hip-hop as a substantive genre than Public Enemy. Nation of Millions put hip-hop on the map artistically.

wow. dude didnt even get to answer a question. lol

ok, I ll ask one:

When I started getting into Miles Davis, I was suprised at how many songs I recognized (especially samples that Diggable Planets used). What jazz artist do you think has been sampled in a way that still respects the integrity of their tunes?

c/mon 2jay...you can do it.



damn these consonants edit

Off the top of my head, Louis Armstrong was sampled twice, and both were very flattering.

Was your thread inspired by my thread? smile

Yeah. No idea it was gonna be so hard. You got it going on. Everyone, I'll try to answer your questions after I watch Music Choice's Old School Rap channel for about 30 hrs.
