    Considering how much classical music gets sampled (Blackpink with Paganini!) I think you’re right to lean heavily on taking a meandering, tortuous route from one end to the other. Cheers!

    So good! Just want to say that I hope you don't get a copyright strike for spreading education like it happens to channels when they grow big. Greedy corps are always on the lookout for an easy buck.

    This is a really cool concept! I’d love to see you clarify what defines a connection though… Duke Ellington to Kendrick is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. I love those connection videos where they show pictures of the people together, but I wonder if you could do a musical equivalent like these musicians played together or produced for one another etc. I think that’s a cooler connection than just “this artist was influenced by what this artist did but they weren’t alive at the same time”. Really would love to see more of this idea though!!!

    Better path from Duke Ellington would be through Stevie Wonder who is sampled on Tupac’s “So Many Tears” as Wonder had made a tribute to “Sir Duke.”

    You could have done this a lot quicker. Tech N9ne’s song Here I Come samples Fur Elise by Beethoven, who was influenced by Bach. Tech N9ne was on the Gang Related soundtrack, with Tupac and starring Tupac put out by Death Row and Tech N9ne did a song called Thugs Get Lonely Too with Tech N9ne.

    Beethoven to Larry Graham. That would be an interesting challenge. Good stuff as always. Oh oh how classical music has had an affect on hip hop would be a good one.
