Wynton Marsalis hates hip-hop. In other news, rain's wet, the sun's hot and cowshit's good for your plants.A choice quote; "I've been arguing with [Public Enemy frontman] Chuck D about this, on and off, for more than 20 years," he says. "Even he's come round to a lot of what I've been saying."So let me get this right - you act like describing current mainstream hip-hop as "ghetto minstrelsy" is somehow an original and unique observation, yet, by your own admission, you've been hating on hip-hop since back when having some sort of political imperative was still a big part of the music? GTFOOHWTBS.Wynton Marsalis - still a fuckin' jackass.

Wynton Marsalis HipHop Ambassador
This is a man who refused to speak to his own brother after he went off to play in Sting's band, alongside such lightweights as Darryl Jones (ex-Miles), Omar Hakim (ex-Weather Report) and Kenny Kirkland (ex-...er, Wynton Marsalis).
Not to mention he completely ruined the PBS Jazz series. Ken Burns needs to release a "Wynton-free Director's Cut".

I wonder if Wynton ever got paid off anyone sampling Skain's Domain.
