The first?
Honestly, the second sentence "The album revolutionized jazz rap, and is usually considered the first full-fledged fusion of jazz and hip hop." sounds like marketing copy written by Guru. I'm not sure what "Full-fledged" means in this case, but if it's talking about combining a live jazz band with hip hop production and rapping, then the first album to do that was Miles Davis's Doo-Bop. The second one was Greg Osby's 3-D Lifestyles. At best Jazzmatazz was the third. It's only notable first was that it was the first combination of a live jazz band with hip hop production and a rapper who was fairly talented.

I also question in what manner hip hop jazz was revolutionized. It's not clear that this album had any large effect on the combination of hip hop and jazz and was not that different stylistically from its predecessors. In light of all this, I'm going to remove the claim about revolutionizing hip hop jazz and rewrite the claim about it's being the original to be more accurate.KeithyIrwin 17:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
