How influential are the Isley Brothers to Hip Hop Music?

Same with James Brown, The Meters, and Parliament-Funkadelic

Do kids today even know what sampling is?

All kids listen to these days is sampled music.

Modern day hip hop? There's more influence from Lady Gaga than the Isley brothers which is a shame. Same old corny arse topics being recycled these days.

rap is so bad these days they are now sampling rap songs from the 90s and 2000s. i had no problem with 90s rap and hip hop was sampling 70s jams, because it was a completely different style of music. rap songs sampling rap songs is just awful.
