Joshua that's quite a comparison but I think you're either forgetting or you're unaware of the great Jalaludin Mansur Nuriddin, aka Jalal of the Last Poets. This incredible rapper (before the term became widely used in music) was the main voice behind the works of the Last Poets. Check their first 3 albums on Douglas, The Last Poets, This is madness and Chastisement (also his solo project "Hustlers Convention" from 1973) for the power and majesty of the spoken word and how it can be delivered to really say something relevant! Of course, the Poets were an influence on Gil's early years. Respect to the late great GSH.

Not all, but some hip hop and a lot of gangsta rap influenced our kids minds ! LL, Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Tu Pac, lil Kim, lil Wayne, and lots of others. They sold the music for a message, 🤔 They told our brothers to sag their pants, get a grill and tattoo ! You can also call a sister a bitch. Real music, uplifts your mind, your spirit, and the way you live life. I'd rather hear Earth Wind and Fires "That's The Way Of The World" or George Bensons "Breezing" Lionel Richie's "Do It To Me One More Time" or even Chingys "Pulling Me Back" 🎼🎵 So yeah, our music was sold, and stolen ! White record executives and labels, got rich off the hood culture ! And a few of our brothers got paid too. Guys like 2 Live Crew, and R Kelly ? Hopefully the older , wiser people can keep the message positive. Maybe that's why Prince had 'Slave' written on his face ? 🎵👥🗣️🎼

@cescoffy I actually found out about him through a sample of rivers of your fathers in "Carry me home" by Atmosphere, loved the sample, so checked it out, beautiful song along with many other songs. I knew jazz was an influence for the keyboardists in The Doors & Pink Floyd, but never really listened to it. I sure do like it now. I don't get why people bash hip-hop and whatnot for "stealing" (sampling) music, if it wasn't for a lot of hip hop I wouldn't know about many, many great musicians.
