Afram DOS is the goat musically

[Robbie3000]

As a non DOS (I know that term and this thread is low key throwing shade at other black people) I celebrate the achievements of AAs.



It’s the same way I celebrate the achievements and civilizations of all black people on the continent and in the diaspora.

I refuse to let agents drive a wedge amongst us.

the afram melismatic style is probably best preserved in field hollers






but obviously, that same style is the foundation to blues and also went in spirituals->gospel--->soul music




exactly.

Jazz


Gospel


It's pretty much found in most of our music.

 

[TntBdx]

who's Afram Dos, is he dominican or something, maybe panamian ?

 

[T'krm]

No shyt
Can we stop this AADOS shyt tho, mad corny to me

No!!
But, AAdos are the GOAT period, op.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Damn y'all mad

Sean Paul Dutty Rock>>AA's greatest hits

All jokes aside, I'm from the North Bronx plus have extended Jamaican relatives so maybe I was exposed to it more than people who didn't grow up around Jamaicans

I can respect the AA>>Jamaican music argument but even then Jamaican would be close 2nd

with that Afro Cuban(etc)>>Jamaican music talk because that's just foolishness

And how breh named all them Jamaican artists but leave out Buju?

Speaking of Buju

No AA (or any other people for that matter) has ever made a song more motivational, inspirational, heartfelt and just down right jaw dropping (literally) than

Spoiler

How exactly are you a close second

Jazz

true but blues is older than jazz and gospel. Field hollers are older than spirituals.

I just wanna thank GOD that I've never heard this 'DOS' bullshyt outside thecoli


This thread comes up every so often and muhfukkas NEVER include jazz in the OP it's wild how far our music range spans, but jazz is what clenched our right as GOAT

It was the BLUES that did that

When a completely underground sub-genre of Hiphop from the hoods on the southside of your city has a huge secret cult following among a bunch of white and other non-black edm/alternative hipsters that spawns a bunch of other contemporary genres.

Lady Day

Rosetta Tharpe

Duke

[Samori Toure]

Yes it is. Even Punk too believe it or not. Look up the band called Death. Made a thread on it last year. AAs are dope.

Well Punk is Punk Rock, which is Rock and Roll. So yeah that is African American music just like heavy metal rock.

 

[Black Haven]

Since no one else is going to let me throw some good ole ragtime in here

Nat King Cole

Howling Wolf

B.B. King

Muddy Waters

why do people make these fashion show penis measuring contest threads.

You can celebrate something without making comparisons about how's better based on subjective preferences that end up being a one up game based on who can insult who. This always turns into grown adults with elementary child like conversations about who can burp the best.
