Admin Hero1 Posted January 10, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 AJ made a good suggestion to have a post about jazzy jeff fresh prince's contribution to hip-hop. A lot of people are unaware of this stuff so it would be quite useful for people. Add your knowledge below. I'll start things off: - The first artist to win a rap grammy for Parents Just Don't Understand - A Touch of Jazz (87) One of the first jazz/hip-hop tracks - He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper was hip-hops first double rap album.
