no the fact that you mistaked two different types of music one being salsa and the other being latin jazz
i don't care if you perfer them to tito to me tito is bigger then them for the fact his music took my mind off the place i was living in (at that time) and just is a big impact to MILLIONS of latinos john coltrane is good but how many times can you really talk to someone about him unless their big music buffs ask almost any latin kid about tito and they know whats poppin
i didn't mistake Latin Jazz for salsa. what i meant was most Latin Jazz, because it takes A LOT of skill to do it right, sounds like a failed attempt at salsa, marenge (is that how you spell it?), or some other form of Latin music. i just said salsa because it is the most recognized style of Latin music.
as for the Coltrane thing, 1. i'd heard of John Coltrane long before i started to study music heavily. Coltrane is (though not quite as famous) the Jimi Hendrix of Jazz. and 2. if you ask any person period who 2pac is they will say yes. does that make him better than Rakim?
