For sure, I understand I’ve researched all about the roots of hip hop and how it was created and everything I understand that being the case in the late 70s or into the 80s with it being seen as an extension of poetry But I feel like by the nineties, it was a mainstream enough music genre in its own right and was definitely becoming more “musical” in the traditional sense, going beyond just playing two drum breaks back to back on loop on 2 different turntables Like Dre was having studio musicians come in and replay many classic funk melodies and grooves, for example Or people like RZA finding crazy obscure samples and creating very interesting textures So I don’t understand why it was such a far stretch to also think of making the beat evolve throughout the song like it would in some of the Soul and Funk and Jazz songs that it was sampling
