did prince have an influence in hip hop?

[MK25toLife]

It is interesting though that his music really wasn't sampled all that much for as big as he was.

If you like Kendrick Lamar in particular check out Sign O The Times album. The sped up voices, the funk, the off structured poetry

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Probably the most sampled in rap (and never sued like a bytch)

Prince heavily influenced everybody old enough to remember why he's Prince in the first place

To Live in Die in LA - 2Pac

Just look at the first page alone. I don't understand cats who say he wasn't sampled heavily:
Prince on WhoSampled

He wasn't clearing a lot of stuff and he'll sic those lawyers on their asses.

Prince really didn't like for people to sample his stuff or make covers to his songs.

Go through Instagram and look at anybody from the culture's page and your question will be answered completely.

I think Luke sampled the same song but I can't find it nowhere.

I realized that when I was trying to remember songs that sampled Prince's music.

Bizzy Bone - Thugz Cry comes to mind

No, Prince had no effect at all on rap music at all. No rappers have every sampled him and any chance of Prince fukking with hiphop was ruined when he and Rick James were beefing and Rick dropped one of the first diss rap records in 1985 against Prince and Prince was like "fukk Hiphop"

And both would later be parodied by Dave Chappelle later.
