When you're discussing a genre that began with sampling.
What you're saying is like saying Jay-Z can't compare
himself to Jordan because he doesn't play basketball.
He's saying he is to Rap what Jordan is to basketball.
In the same vein, the poster is saying that Dilla is to
Hiphop what Hendrix is to rock and roll.
Not that I necessarily agree with either of the comparisons,
but they CAN be made logically.
