Hmmm, wasn't there a rapper that sampled one of his songs?

accomplishments = sales,awards and money? indeed,Sting has all of that and than some...That soft rock shit has been around forever though,rap music really didn't do ANYTHING until the mid 90's as far as sales... Sampling? big deal... Rob Zombie just sampled brick house and put a rapping female on there,wtf? Lenny Kravitz called on Earthtone3 to remix some of his songs,no doubt too... Recorded music has been around for awhile,theres only so many cords that can be played,nothing wrong with sampling,in a lot instances it happens by mistake
The guy who invented the typewriter would be bitching about the computer age,it's called evolution...Machines are everything,we should use them to make music too
and yeah,finally you see,it's a matter of taste as to what people call music...Me personally,I grew up on rap music..but I respect and listen to any and every kind of music,including Sting...The good thing about people who listen to rap music,we aren't closed minded
