The problem I see is cats dont wanna dig deeper, sure the blue note days are over,the old staples are gone(even though jay still flipping "space" and "nt") well if that's the case dig deeper. Who still wants to use billie joe drums in 2001? What i think alot of producers need to do is look up these older cats and explain to them what hip hop is, all these older cats know about hip hop is what they see on BET and MTV and mainstream news. It seems to me if i was herbie hancock and i heard what jaydee did with "come running' I would be honored and impressed how he flipped that.If hip hop begins to think of itself as a art form people might begin to treat it like one, instead most mc's wanna play thugs instead of what they are musicians.
