VIDEO: SAMPLING SOUL (DUKE UNIVERSITY CLASS DISCUSSION WITH 9TH WONDER AND JAMES PETERSON)

THIS IS AN IN-DEPTH DUKE UNIVERSITY PANEL DISCUSSION ON THE CULTURAL AND SAMPLING IMPORTANCE OF ILLMATIC.  NO OTHER HIP HOP ALBUM HAS BEEN PRAISED, DISCUSSED AND SCRUTINIZED MORE THAN THE DEBUT ALBUM BY NASIR JONES, AND WITH GOOD REASON.  IF NAS NEVER RELEASES ANOTHER PIECE OF MUSIC, HIS LEGEND IS SOLIDIFIED FOR ETERNITY.  THIS IS A GREAT VIEW OF HOW ILLMATIC IMPACTED HIP HOP, FROM A SAMPLING, LYRICAL, AND CULTURAL STANDPOINT.  9TH WONDER, JAMES PETERSON, AND HOST MARK ANTHONY NEAL DO A WONDERFUL JOB OF DISSECTING THIS HIP HOP MASTERPIECE.
