West Coast beats have a lot in common with NY beats.
You don't think sampling, in any sense, whether it be Herc with the Merry Go Round, Marley Marl, or Dre replaying shyt, is s foundational characteristic?
G-funk and the old school ny beats didn't sound the same at all.
Sampling is part of hip hop, and a good thing but that doesn't mean if you don't sample you're not making rap music.
All I'm saying is when you define what rap really is you're limiting creativity. I want to see country singers, rock singers, trance, house music bring their elements to rap music because it will bring creativity yo the music.
Like Black Dot said who's from the golden era of new york music said. Mumbling rappers are moving rap music forward why because it's something new, its creative it's their own style. Like he said about J cole, Kendrick Lamar who I'm fans of their music is good but it's really nothing new I've heard it all before what they're saying.
