- I think this all depends on if we are nominating things for awards for hip-hop
- music, or hip-hop culture. Personally, I think it shouldbe limited to the
- music, because if not there are many things that could be used as categories.
- Lots of the better artists don't have dancers, so what are we representing
- then?

- Yes, they do have this on 12". I myself wish Miles Davis had decided to do
- something like this long before he died. I would have liked to hear more than
- 9(isn't that how many are on the CD?) cuts with this flavor. I've only heard 4
- of the songs though, from the 2 12"s I have from the album, but I thought the
- WITHOUT RAP version of "Doo Bop" was dope. I can't remember much about the
- other 3 songs. I'll have to get that album.
