HA...

I remember talking with Statik about this years ago...

The funnier part of the story is that he listened to 60 beats and said "give me the congas from #42"

Ye... is right..

The idea that jazz samples in hip hop can get back on the radio is truly difficult... I would love for it to happen BUT..

It won't..

Why WOULD you guys want Ye to work backwards though.. He has/had Pete Rock, Preemo, NOID and 88 in the studio.. if he WANTED a Pete Rock record from 92 he could get one..

The point is to advance..
