You're missing the point... which was all those songs were later sampled, allowed to be, and it became the foundation of rap .period. no one said one was better than the other or even tried to compare the quality 'which is truly up to the ear of the listener'.

I've played live music as a drummer 'all genres' for 30 years. I know many people, that's all I'll say. Im not the end all.. but I'm well seasoned... so don't argue the inarguable with me.

Your words about Motown " and in fact was the root hook of rap...gangsta rap." If you think that Motown R&B has any musical connection to rap (other than black people) I have no idea what your hearing. I've played all kinds of music also, since I was 10. Guitar, piano, and drums I know music of every type also. Everything is arguable with you if it doesn't fit your mold I've seen. I didn't miss your point, seen it before, you like an argument. Must be a pleasure to be around. You can put me on your ignore list also, because you and I have nothing in common, thank God
