The DUO I mentioned, Gang Starr, revolutionized melding Jazz with Hip-Hop. They innovated a whole East Coast scene back in the early 90s, Shallow it is not.
My love for jazz now can be traced back to hip hop of that era. I could list dozens of hip hop artists who are just that- artists-poets-musicians-commentators.
Dont get me wrong, I see your point because there is a bunch of fake shallow crap out there, just not all of it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
