im no expert myself, but i think people refer more to Jazz The Myth on these boards, the myth that anyone who grew up with hip hop has bought into without really investing into jazz, the actual, yknow, music.

when i read this post i thought they meant an actual jazz album, not just sampling it. i mean, i guess that is still a cousin of jazz, but a hip hop record that samples jazz is a hip hop album, sorry guys, not a jazz album. so kanye didnt say jazz died, he said sampling jazz in hip hop died.

also, this is untrue:

“If you name the best beats of all-time, they’re all jazz beats, they’re all jazz samples"
