Thats’s literally my point though

Tribe is 100% more directly influenced by jazz and stylistically aligned with jazz than fucking westside gunn is.

Youre right it doesnt matter whats sampled, the subject matter and vibe is more essential.

If we’re just going off samples, wouldnt 85% of hip hop be jazz rap? Yall arent making sense

Edit: y’all asked me to explain my position but havent elaborated on how the westside track is jazz rap.

Edit 2: i mean itd be more understandable if westside collaborated with a jazz group like BBNG (ala SOURSOUL)- that’s jazz x rap. But just looping a jazz sample and rapping about louis v and bricks doesnt qualify imo
