Blacks and rapping



Remember these guys? A black rock band...a true anomaly in today's black music.

If only the Lil Wayne's of the world would've wished to be like them...

I've always thought Vernon Reid and Corey Glover should get together with Victor Wooten to crank out some living groove.

Totally different styles, I get that but that's the lineup lineup that makes me happy.
 
I tried for several weeks to play like this:

Then I found out where he got it from:

And now I can play it right (my neighbors are much happier).
 
Do you really think 50 Cent - In Da Club is going to be looked back upon with fondness in 50 years time? or any song from todays charts for that matter? none of it has any heart or creativity and will therefore not stand the test of time.

take notes boy, those are the bethovens and Robert Burnses of our time:

KRS-1, rakkim, ODB, Guru(from gangstarr), biggie smalls, 2pac, Big L, NAS, AZ, Nate dogg, mobb deep, bone thugs 'n' harmony, RZA, GZA, Ghostface, (early)eminem,

If 50 cent is representing the rap culture in your world view, I feel sorry for you.
 
because when whites do it* it tends to sound like this

*Except the Juice, they got that down tight.
 
Although, completely contradicting myself - this is outstanding (Britfags will know who AsherD is)

Here's a pretty good white dude - he's the Ninja from Die Antwoord without the costume :

Not to sound racist but it's because they are too lazy to learn how to play an actual instrument.

Yes Rap has taken over contemporary musical tastes, because culture fucking sucks. I REALLY wish black people get back into playing instruments and stop this rap shit. And I love myself some real hip-hop too.

But implying that blacks can't play instruments is probably the stupidest / most ignorant / most racist thing I've ever heard. Probably the most soulful and most creative musicians of anytime were black and you can't fucking deny that. These guys have more musical talent than the entire WF membership x 100000 in their left nuts. White guys wouldn't be playing rock if it weren't for the Chuck Berry's and BB Kings of the world.

Basically every musician white guys worship was influenced by at least one of the above at one point of their lives. If not directly, then their influences were influenced by them. It goes both ways too, obviously blacks have been influenced by white musicians before them and etc.

And no, I'm not black.
