@okayplayer_: The iconic musician #RoyAyers is celebrating his 84th birthday today. In honor of his day, we’re taking a look at the longevity of his legacy through samples.🎈💿 Although his own sound can be labeled as a blend between acid jazz and soul, Roy Ayers has been affectionately described as the “Godfather of Neo Soul.” His sound can be heard as a thread that weaves generations together from R&B to Hip-Hop. With well over 900 samples, Roy is one of the top artists to be sampled within Hip-Hop. There are far too many great examples of Roy’s work influencing later generations, so we want to know what some of your favorite samples are? 👇🏽 #samples #sampling #hiphop #hiphopmusic #rnb #neosoul #acidjazz
