De La Soul

not sure when (or if) this'll be responded to, but I was wondering if De La Soul would be counted as Jazz Rap. ReverendG 06:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

De La are a lot of things, but jazz rap is most definitely one of them. "I Be Blowin" ( a jazz instrumental ) is a classic of theirs, from Balhuun Mindstate ... or however you spell it. ForrestCroce 02:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As an album Buhloone Mindstate is certainly jazz rap, as much as your average ATCQ anyway. I Be Blowin isn't the only thing, alot of the tracks have jazz samples/intrumentation. Patti Dooke, Ego Trippin Pt.2, I Am I Be, In The Woods. But as an act, no De La Soul is in no way a jazz rap group. -Zeph —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.189.5 (talk) 21:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notable artists and albums

I really don't think OutKast belongs on this list ... weird/"out there" and jazz aren't the same thing. ForrestCroce 02:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure Outkast is Jazz rap I own all there album, I have to admid not all there albums use Jazz but ATLiens use very much Jazz. thesnowman123q 29 Juli, 2007

Illmatic is a brilliant album, but jazz rap it is not. 134.215.216.149 19:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree, it doesn't sound like jazz rap at all. But it's doubtful it would sound quite like it does without gang starr, ATCQ, etc. going before it. There is that that lovely elegiac cornet solo at the end of Life's a Bitch, and samples from Donald Byrd, Ahmad Jamal, Reuben Wilson, Gary Burton. 86.42.83.73 (talk) 20:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What about The Roots? If they aren't Jazz Rap, then I guess I don't know what Jazz Rap is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.90.75 (talk) 00:22, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-The Roots album "Do You Want More?!!!??!" is definatedly a jazz rap album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.78.245.59 (talk) 11:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Swedish band Movits! might deserve a mention here. --174.60.43.92 (talk) 21:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
