I wanted to put this in Hip hop but went here because technically hes not, although I do feel he is one of the unofficial grandfathers of hip hop. If some of you guys haven't heard of him, I guarantee yall have heard his music. Dozens of times sampled he's made some of the greatest funk/soul music ever. He's truly a king and has been forgotten by many. He recently came out with a new album and did a nice track with ras kass which a was a shock to me. Here are a few more of his tracks and a list of samples:
