Did hip hop influence modern jazz, rnb, rocknroll, blues?
I remember the first time I heard Bruce Springsteen's 'Streets of Philadelphia'. 1993....not even a great song. But you could tell someone was trying to incorporate a hip hop style in that production. At the time, I figured it was Bruce.
The rest of the 90's you heard hip hop inspired 'breaks' like the OP suggests, creeping into pop and easy listening. Now it's absolutely commonplace. Even in new country.
But modern jazz and blues are mostly defined as throwback scenes anyways. So hip hop CANT really influence them because their nostalgic base is aiming to recreate music from the past.
Hip hop used to be a joke to outsiders....on par with the reputation of a genre like dub-step. Noone would take you seriously. Everyone takes it seriously now....60 year old engineers and studio rats respect it alot more now than 20 years ago.
