I'll F_in' *guarantee* you'll read or hear about artist such as Tupac and Biggie Smalls by future generations spoken in the same light as we discuss Bird, Miles, Gillespe, etc.It's enevitable folks; it's gonna happen; get used to it; get over it...
Was it that long ago when we heard the phrase: 'ole the times they are a changin'..." how ironic, how prophetic.

b read or hear about artist such as Tupac and Biggie Smalls by future generations spoken in the same light as we discuss Bird, Miles, Gillespe, etc.Pathetic and sad, but probably true. The funny thing is that the three jazz artists you mentioned are not really from my era so it isn't just that I preferred the music of my generation. There's a lot of great music from all eras; rap is just one of the exceptions, IMHO.
It is inevitable that great talent will be recognized, and maintain its rightful place in the history of musical development. Rap will be discussed in the same light as past emergents which have had profound effect on todays artists. Like Sid whats-his-name from that group in the early days of junk music (or punk, I forget). "Friggin in the Riggin" is studied today alongside the works of stravinski, I understand. Punk music was only exceeded in popularity by DISCO music, another step forward from the darkness of overly complex musics. For some reason I cannot recall any of the thousands of Disco artists, but I think John Travolta was involved somehow. And then New Wave changed life as we know it.
As I said, The real talents are here to stay, cause good music is like truth:
First it is ridiculed
Then it is violently opposed
Finally it is accepted as being self evident.
