As long as you know that he borrowed most of it from Hendrix you don't need to have a problem with THAT. First time I heard Kravitz I remember thinking "Wow, at last someone that bothers to re-do the Jimi thing and cares to do it well". All music doesn't have to be 100 percent original IMHO, especially in a style that is as much about attitude as about moving air. Of course Hendrix borrowed a lot from John Lee Hooker and others (remember my chock when I find out about that, hearing my first Hooker record) but he took it to a different level by using that guitar sound and blues feel in a pop song context (as Kravitz picked up).
