I assumed hip hop heads listened to R&B and other shyt...but if Pimp C is a 'genius' (r.i.p.) ...i mean, wtf?! Lol

Ppl sleep on pimp c cuz they don't kno his history he came from a musical background his father played trumpet w/likes of Solomon Burke, pimp c himself produced, rapped, sung hooks, played live instruments on most ugk albums he also studied music theory & wrote music giving ugk that familiar jazz-like sound accomponied by that nasal bluesy voice... Jus pointing that out but my choice would be.........

Patrice Rushen She truly does it all as far as music goes & I think she goes under the radar sometimes.She was the 1st female musical director for the Grammys(3 consecutive yrs) & the NAACP image awards(12 consecutive yrs) also musical director of the Emmys(1st woman in 43 yrs). My General Music teacher who was also the band director turn me on to her, that nigga was low-key obsessed w/her LOL.. Check her stats tho
