I have a couple of all-time favorites: Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!

I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.
