Just because a song doesnt have vocals doesnt make it ANY less "hiphop"
than a song WITH vocals.
Gang Starr isnt "more hiphop" than any given Dj Shadow (except for his
new stuff, of course), Bambaata or Steady B instrumental track...

Thats why allmost every hiphop 12" in existance has a "instrumental"
version, and not a "trip hop" version on the flip side ;)
