Its Crazy how diverse black american music is...

[El Bombi]

How many people here clowned Tupac for that highschool interview ?

Tupac was clowned for being a fake gangster in his image. All that video showed is Tupac wasn't the gangster that he was trying to be in public. It had nothing to do about him playing a musical instrument.

Are you a descendant of African slaves that was brought to the USA?

jazz music is like our classical music wish black folks took advantage of that instead of being ignorant about it

A lot of us want that fast money with little effort and discipline as possible. Learning an instrument takes time and schools all around America are cutting back on music and arts programs, but computer programs mixing 808s and snares is always available.

being in a high school band and producing musihow'sbee two entirely different things. i know the importance of the school band at games, but that doesnt translate into the real world.

Breh I've never seen anyone get clowned for playing the piano, sax, or drums, etc. shyt I seen nikkas getting hoes because of that.

shyt Lil Wayne made a whole CD with him playing the guitar.

Well I live Memphis, which is the black musical capital. And probably the most musical rich city in the world when you look at the history of Memphis music. People like Juicy J and Drumma boy played in the band. Also, playing a musical instrument is a big thing in the Dallas black community. For example, Jamie Foxx and Erykah Badu.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

It's very diverse... And there is even sub-genres in some of those...



That's why I don't care if there's ratchet

You forgot to mention Country music, Folk music and Bluegrass music. The music was referred to as Appalachian Blues or Piedmonte Blues, which was played by the Black people in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The Carter family, who are considered the first family of Country music, started playing the music after they hired a black man named Lesley Riddle to teach them the Blues songs. Riddle's guitar style was a big influence on Maybelle Carter guitar playing style.

Then there was Hank Williams, Sr., whose biggest influence was a Black bluesman named Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne.

Then there was Charlie and Bill Monroe. Bill Monroe is considered the father of Bluegrass music, but he acknowledged that his biggest influence was a Black Blues musician named Arnold Shultz. Shultz's style of guitar playing is the style that Country music's biggest stars, Merle Travis and Chet Atkins are known for playing.

It was a Black man by the name of DeFord Bailey that named Country music's biggest shrine. He named it the Grand ole Opry.

Then there are musicians like Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Pressley, who all name Sister Rosetta Tharp as their biggest musical influence.

It is strange that people don't realize that Black people literally invented Country, Folk and Bluegrass music too.

too bad its not diverse like that anymore. let a black man make a ragtime joint today and he will get clowned into his grave.

back in the day it was cool to play an instrument, dance, or sing...now you're considered a homo or a lame if you do any of that shyt. being cultured is considered corny and catering to white people all of a sudden.

Stop lying ain't no one being called a homo or lame for playing instruments or dancing.

That's all these young nikkas do is dance. They dance more fem than chicks now.
