ain't nobody hearing any of the Hip Hop Writers and producers going to mistaking them for Smokey Robinson, Holland,Dozier and Holland, Stevie Wonder,etc.


cats ride off a groove and then write on top of that,which is one of the reasons why most cats in the genre don't last long.

create and do your own thing period.

if you want to cover that is cool, however sampling and looping has watered things down and always did.

the truth is because these labels were racist and spiteful they allowed the bext generation of acts to ride off of sampling and looping and then turned around wanted coin,but not because of said originator act.

it was cute when one didn't know any better, however if James Brown,George clinton,rick James and Sly Stone got paid every time they were sampled then they could have there own Mount rushmore.

however somehow it didn't balance out. all it did was bread familiarity and hurt the creative process of you doing you.

put it like this where are those acts now if they were so great with it back then?

just as i thought Crickets.

acts who do words and music and or make songs that timeless ain't gotta be making movies or Boutique this or that to keep a steady check unless they want to.
