Hip-hop is to young black people what bebop was to those of my generation (Quincy Jones)

Jazz & Hip-Hop: A summit meeting
"Hip-hop is to young black people what bebop was to those of my generation. I was there, and I guarantee you they have a lot in common. Certain singers like Eddie Jefferson and Babs Gonzales were doing the same things as rappers today. They don't know it, but I do" (Quincy Jones)
