Haha somehow I don't think so. That mumble rap version is horrible.

[xmontrealer]

Apart from the great vocal, gotta love Steve's guitar!

 

[ogibowt]

[ogibowt]

If I've learned anything about you on this thread over the years you just summed it up in a nut shell.

7/7/87 this album was released and it changed hip hop forever. Happy 35th

The ORIGINAL Black American art form played by the masters who created what the rappers extrapolated. I'm not dumping on rap, but people like Gil Scott Heron and The Roots don't rely on other people's music for their creativity. Sampling is lazy.

Re-watched "Children Of A Lesser God" tonight. From the soundtrack:

Haven't heard Montell in a minute

"I Like" feat. Slick Rick

One of many r&b and hip hop tunes that sampled this George McRae/KC & the Sunshine Band classic

 

[K Douglas]

One of the first solo female hip hop tracks. Released in 1986. Classic

Not the biggest of Erykah Badu fans but this one really hits the switches for me
