"Hip hop, a.k.a. multinational music, has produced some musical masterpieces: Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions", "Cypress Hill", "Dr. Octagon". Hip hop is a deeply multinational and deeply subversive art-form (hint: the names Morpheus, Neo and Trinity are actually derived from the brand names of music synthesizers)."

Huh? Hip hop includes Hendrix and Marley? Really? I thought it was created at least ten years after these guys died? Please explain...
