Bill "The Buddha of Bass" Di ckens, he taught Wooten for a while and is capable of scaling from the top note of a seven string Conklin to the bottom and back again in steady 64ths. He's actually faster than that, but it's one of his tricks that makes Vic drop his jaw.

Could rap be considered as music?? I have decided to put in in the same section as poetry, except there's rhythm and music behind it. (oh yeah, sometimes poetry involves violence, and everthing) Seeing it this way helps me enjying good rap as I enjoy good poetry and reject bad rap as I reject bad poetry...

I call it music. I find a lot of old school rap to be pretty interesting actually.
