Blue Note and Hip Hop Culture

So I know there was the Madlib Blue Note mix record. I've just now come across some other random Blue Note hip hop stuff. I was walking in the Mission district of SF past a trendy shoe store, and saw these Adidas shoes. Then a friend sent me this link on if Wu-Tang were with Blue Note. Not sure if this is a new trend or just a coincidence.

Wasn't the "Blue Break Beats" tagline something along the lines of "you've got to hear Blue Note to dig Def Jam"? I remember that as far back as 1993.

Yeah I've seen those, and other mix records of Blue Note tunes marketed for DJs that seemed less legitimate. I wonder if Blue Note will become more active in Hip Hop, with contemporary artists other than Madlib.
