Both genres succeeded in infuriating the majority of the preceding generation, usually a sure sign of their cultural importance. Sure enough, jazz and hip-hop have both stood the test of time, and as is also nearly inevitable for two genres that have been around more than 20 years, commingled in extraordinary ways. There are acoustic bass-driven grooves, multiple shout-outs to jazz and its pioneers, and even a guest appearance by Ron Carter, a legendary double bassist who played with everyone from Miles Davis to Gil Scott-Heron. One of the first West Coast acts to emerge with a jazzy sound, the Pharcyde, were a refreshingly light-hearted counterpoint to South Central L. Warm samples of Weather Report, Herbie Mann, John Coltrane, and other jazz greats contribute as much to this freewheeling atmosphere as the schoolyard lyrics do, making for a seemingly bottomless supply of good vibes. Do You Want More?!!??!

Funk de-emphasizes melody and chord progressions and focuses on a strong rhythmic groove of a bassline played by an electric bassist and a drum part played by a drummer , often at slower tempos than other popular music. Like much of African-inspired music , funk typically consists of a complex groove with rhythm instruments playing interlocking grooves that create a "hypnotic" and "danceable" feel. Funk originated in the mids, with James Brown 's development of a signature groove that emphasized the downbeat —with heavy emphasis on the first beat of every measure "The One" , and the application of swung 16th notes and syncopation on all basslines, drum patterns, and guitar riffs [3] —and rock and psychedelia-influenced musicians Sly and the Family Stone and Jimi Hendrix , fostering improvisation in funk. Funk derivatives include the avant-funk , an avant-garde strain of funk; boogie ; a hybrid of electronic music and funk, funk metal ; a mix of funk and metal; G-funk, a mix of gangsta rap and funk; Timba , a form of funky Cuban dance music and funk jam. Funk samples and breakbeats have been used extensively in hip hop and electronic dance music. It is also the main influence of Washington go-go , a funk sub-genre. The word funk initially referred and still refers to a strong odor.
