I get that, I always wonder if I was older and grew up with those 1970s funk albums how I would feel about G-Funk. As it was I was in my pre/early teens when a lot of this music dropped and completely ignorant to many of these songs in their original context. It’s actually been kinda fun as an adult as I explored Funk more to discover the sources of these samples.
Absolutely, and tbf to Coolio I'm sure a lot of people learned who Lakeside was because of fantastic voyage.
It's one of the things that's so important about hip-hop. I probably would've never listened to jazz or taken jazz classes or known about the Panthers and on and on without the music. I didn't think about the Stones or Elvis appropriating black music and culture for profit until PE. I will always be grateful for that learning.
That's also why (in-part) VMP's taste has been mediocre to me.
