Lyrics Born talking in The Wire this month. Pretty illuminating, I think:
"Then you go to a record by, like, The Pharcyde or De La Soul or Freestyle
Fellowship and you see them alluding to some of the same things that
Shabba Ranks is doing or Lambert, Hendricks And Ross are doing, but in a
totally different genre. Then, you get to realise that i's all a
continuum, it's all one movement, but just different genres. Then you put
that with straightahead HipHop, which is the tradition that we all came
out of, and mesh it together, and suddenly your vocabulary is huge. That's
where we come from: all music is relevant, all styles, all eras, all
genres, production-wise, are the same thing. There's something you can
take from all these things and fuse it together and make your own thing."
