As hip hop fans, can we agree that Isaac Hayes is one of the greatest composers ever?

Curtis Mayfield tho.....:noah:

:salute::obama:

curtis mayfield and barry white are my favorite artists. they are tied as not only my favorite musicians and artists but as the greatest imo

i always find myself goin' back to their work; listenin' and studyin' what they did with their music

i always keep super fly (along with the rest of his 70's run of albums) and barry's greatest hits and love unlimited (orchestra too) in heavy rotation. the way those guys wrote, produced, arranged for their music as well as others; barry for his love unlimited group and curtis for the impressions, the staple singers and aretha franklin was astonishin'

i mean, this is just unbelievable :ohlawd:

isaac hayes was somethin' else

he did a lot of great work for stax records as a session player and then as a solo artist. the hot buttered soul album, black moses album, and shaft soundtrack are landmark albums in music history

he was a very gifted musician and artist.

i could go on and on about how talented he was but instead i post one of my favorite songs by him. everythin' about this song is just perfect

There are very few musicians in mainstream music now. Musicians are pretty much nonexistent in hip-hop. I feel that is why it isn't respected as other genres.

the way barry produced, arranged and wrote those songs and albums were unbelievable. he had a knack for knowin' how to make some of the most smooth and excellent music ever. he's a legend

yup, one of the best songs on blackstreet's self titled album too :wow:

Syl Johnson is another singer who gets sampled a lot. Man I tell you Chicago has certainly put out their share of artist.
