Right On! If Howie B's "Birth" or Jazz Not Jazz's stuff ain't hip hop then I
don't know what is! I have heard a lot of the breaks used in the more popular
"trip hop" songs showing up in tunes on pop radio, particularly that one from
"Protection." I think "trip hop" is having a real effect on hip hop, but it
isn't something that anyone talks about.
