Its not a diss by any means.... When you think of rap's inception, and most of its classic moments, those records/cuts are sample based.... basically, the musical component, no matter how marginal, belonged to someone else...... or already had its own life/entity in another musical form... such as R and B, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco, Blues, Rock, Alt, etc...
If you played an instrument of any kind, I think it would be easier to get what I'm saying...
Chuck D even spoke on this back in the day when sampling got too expensive... I didn't get this from him, its just understood...... Chuck coined it, "rap over music" hence... Hip Hop.....
It is without question a beautiful art form ... .I know a lot will disagree..... jmo...... With this being said... shout out to that Hip Hop Band.... and others like them...
High right now.. Hope that made sense
