To me the greatest hip hop song ever made was a house/drum beat/ electric

I think cats who grew up off of hiphop in the golden era, don't realize that before the boom bap sound,artists like blondie, man parrish, afrika bambatta, mantronix, dna, arthur russell, liquid liquid, larry levan, Larry Heard, Frankie Knuckles and so many other acts were experimenting and creating sounds in the same space and time : NYC and Chicago.....which is why during that time hip hop, disco punk, and house music(trax) all had similar sounds, and could be played off of one another.

white lines is an example of that, because that was a disco punk track created by liquid liquid that GMF and the furious five flpped on...It was basically mel over a live instrumentation, because white lines has that feel

Hip hop wasn't one sound. Hip hop was so many sounds at once, and did't DEPEND ON OR NEED SAMPLING.
