I mean the same can be said for Sly Stone, Prince etc etc.... they too had predecessors that they took from, were influenced by & then through some of their own sauce on to create their sound. I don't think anyone is saying he "invented" that sound he helped continue to innovate it
The big difference is they wouldn't say they invented ****.
Michael Jackson wouldn't act like he invented videos and dancing. That's some **** rap fans do. Try to erase the previous generations contributions to their knowledge.
Bobby Brown didn't blow up and act like he invented new jack swing or rap and R&B. Bobby would give credit. Andre would give credit.
Rap fans quickly dismiss **** past their knowledge level and don't even attempt to learn.
