so does that mean that practically everything ever created is also 'hip hop'? ;)
i dunno, some academic motherfucker posited the theory that the human brain is our equivalent of a peacock's tail, in other words on some level we just create art, music, literature etc in order to get laid. sounds like that 'evolutionary psychology' shit to me, i don't really go in for theories and whatnot, or thinking like a critic, but it's fun to think about once in a while.
and for what it's worth i thought that James Brown was the most sampled artist of all time...
