el> Besides, I think a lot of it has to do with them not liking hip-hop

jumping in w/little previous knowledge of the root of this (i.e. the hiphop
newsgroup discussion) the thing that occurs to me is that there is probably
a bias against a dj-less hiphop group. gangstarr & tribe are known for
their liberal use of jazz samples and i'd be shocked if these same people
dissing the peas were trashing these acknowledged masters (gangstarr &
tribe)
--not that the roots aren't masters, but that's my point.
