Don't be so quick to downplay any Hendrix influence here. Several Hip
Hop groups (most notably PM Dawn & Digable Planets) heave cited Jimi's
music as a key influence on the and make constant refrences to him in
their songs.
As far as De La Soul is concerned they are sometimes refered to as
"flower power hip hop" !!!
