I’m willing to bet more Roots/Black Thought tracks are played on a daily basis by tha masses than BOTH The Message and White Lines!! Y’all keep naming tha same 2 exact songs...classic dope pioneering songs...but if y’all expect me to believe that anybody besides old school hip hop heads are listening to Melle Mel tracks on a daily basis at this time period...y’all bugging...and I’m probably only slightly younger than @5 Grand and @GOAT ...so I do remember these tracks and how impactful they are/were...but I also know by tha late 80’s early 90’s wasn’t nobody going backing bumping him regularly...where as here 25 years later I/people can still listen to Doyouwantmore?!!?!??

Quality of quantity>>>>>>>quality of quality lol

You said, "but I also know by tha late 80’s early 90’s wasn’t nobody going backing bumping him regularly."

I posted an Ice Cube track from 93 that sampled The Message, a Dogg Pound track that interpolates New York, New York from 95 and a Puff Daddy track that interpolates The Message from 1996.

Clearly Ice Cube, The Dogg Pound and Puff Daddy were bumping Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 in the 90s.

How, or why, would Ice Cube, The Dogg Pound and Puff Daddy sample The Message and New York New York without bumping them and deciding that they wanted to rap over those beats and use the chorus?


Are you saying that Cube, The Dogg Pound and Puff Daddy sampled those songs, but they didn't listen to them before they walked in the studio?

Who goes to a studio and raps over a song they've never heard?

So again...because you sample summin’ means that you listening to it like that hunh?! Every rap song sampled is because people are constantly listening to that song that’s being at that time hunh?! This what we doing today?? Truuuuuuu Lmao hahahahaha
