I dunno if anyone will be interested in this sort of thing but I quite like looking up the samples after hearing a new track. Long story short this is the sample from Freddie Gibbs's Madlib produced 'Thuggin':

Listening to Smoke Again... I really don't mind the voice, but there's something off with his timing. It's a catchy tune though, even with those Triton-sounding horn stabs.

e: Did Kanye catch any flack when *he* referenced Emmett Till in Through the Wire?

he didn't have millions in record sales or endorsements behind him at the time. when you're an emerging fad without your first album in stores, no one cares.
when you've sold millions, then lawyers want to show up.
this should be obvious.

In addition, I think people were simply shocked at that line made it out to the public. There are legitimate reasons (mostly bad) for how U.E.N.O could slip under the radar. I can see how an unknown artist could say something and later have their lyrics dug up. "Beat the pussy up like Emmet Till" isn't subtle or subject to interpretation and Wayne is too famous to think his lyrics will escape scrutiny. When something like that gets released, it makes people pause and say "Did he really said that?" but not in the good way. Wayne or the producer or anyone with a brain should have known that lyric was insensitive and in poor taste. Pandering to artistic integrity and freedom insults people even more because the line is not an artistic statement.

Weezys golden run ended around C3 (and some would say before that). Fully extinguished when he went to jail.

Now I think he really doesnt care to be a rap artist and it shows in his apathetic output since he got out. Whether that can be attributed to his label coercing him to produce (signs point to maybe) is another can of worms.

He just wants to get rear end and skate these days y'all let him live

I'm gonna take a different direction than just naming off random "classic" acts and ask what specifically are you looking for? NY rap? "Important" rap? And maybe more importantly, why do you want to listen to it? I'll be the first one to say that a lot of stuff from the 80's is tedious sounding now and borderline unlistenable. Not to say that a lot of stuff from then isn't good, but frankly a lot of music after the various golden ages is just flat-out better. Also stuff that's considered classic in NY might be very different from classic in Cali, for instance.

Also Wyclef released a mixtape recently and it's almost comically what I would expect it to sound like. Now I really liked the Fugees, and I remember Lauryn Hill getting most of the credit for their success. This caused Wyclef to release his solo album first to show he was her equal/better or w/e, and it was actually really good (if overly long). It's even aged decently well, still sounds pretty great. Now, he also had some big reputation as a super-hitmaker which I thought was a bit overblown since most of his stuff sounded a bit similar (or more accurately, had a lot of samey influences). And, for better or for worse, that comes across on his mixtape (which I couldn't even get through). For a lot of the tracks he literally sounds like he's doing a mashup of one of his old songs and a more new styled beat. And his rapping seems to be average to worse throughout (I listened to one song called hip-hop and it was almost making me cringe). Really kinda a trainwreck, although I think if he worked a bit on some production he'd have something there as some of his flourishes seem to sound nice and add something more "organic" to the typical trap/faux-luger beats that are throughout.

I don't think cognitive dissonance requires a whore or an idiot though.
