It's such a shame that there are still people who don't realize how much music there really is in hip-hop. The parallels between this and jazz is uncanny. When he talked about using motion, that's no different than how in the 20s and 30s moves like the charleston influenced the rhythms big bands played. Then he talked about using a sample differently than someone else. That right there is no different than the way jazz musicians of the bop era used contrafacts in different ways. The way Charlie Parker uses a chord progression is going to sound different when Coltrane uses the exact same progression and how they use the same progressions are what made them unique. Then when he talked about putting outfits together is like knowing when to use what licks in your arsenal during an improvised solo. It's really incredible how similar these two idioms are in spite of how different they seem on the surface.

Teddy DiSanti I’ve always made this conjecture as well! The musicalities aside, the transition into popular culture seems to also correlate. I look at the 50’s bebop era to mirror hip-hop’s 90’s golden era, and everything after that both genres went from African-American roots to world globalization. Might be too early to say, but I think today’s mumble rap and trap rather equates to the formation of smooth jazz. Everybody loves it, but the “tru-schoolers” know better lol.

He stays true to his art and craft. I to be honest with think anyone, regardless of craft, can appreciate someone who refuses to conform despite popularity. And even better it shows us that you don't have to conform or emulate to be great and create great music. Thank you 9th.

Back when I first became intoxicated by LB, 9th, and his music, I would make CDs of his beats, and listen them as I drove places in my car. I Would try to break down his beats, in my mind, into the various segments 'chops' of what he had sampled. As I drove along, I would be tapping out the various sample chops on my steering wheel, as if it was me playing the beat. I'm sure a few people who spotted me head-bobbin' and finger tapping, thought I was nuts. But, I was just trying to appreciate and understand what he had done with an original sample, and how he broke it down and re-created it. I probably do this with most of my favorite beat makers, and it's naturally what I do when I compose.

Greatness always makes me smile. Thank you for this.

Beautiful editing and animations. Big up, team!
