The songs were put in between the genres that are influencing the American public right now which is hip-hop music, they still sounded like they fit in, even though he made them years ago. His remembrance show that was broadcast live on T.V and over the internet on facebook in collaboration with CNN was the most watched live broadcast ever on the internet and even surpassed that of the inauguration ceremony of Barrack Obama!
