You're an idiot.

Black Music changed the world over and it's directly because Africa.
:dead:

Blues Scale and it's African Origins =

My breh @IllmaticDelta 's informative thread:
https://www.thecoli.com/threads/“the-blues-are-the-roots-everything-else-is-the-fruits”-willie-dixon.298131/

Blues morphed into several different things but as it relates to Hip-Hop
It morphed into Funk, Jazz, Soul & Rock N' Roll the foundational ingredients for Hip-Hop.
You can hear the Swing in J. Dilla, The Jazz in Pete Rock and the Blues in
Mary J. Blige

There is no Jazz without Africa, some of the most influential figures in the genre were directly influenced by AFRICA.
Brehs tryna remove the African from African American like it has no historical or cultural significance.


:blessed:
Be well my breh if you're actually a breh.
The posts to you stop here my man.
:blessed:
All that it's still created by African-Americans.

Ironic your calling me a idiot.
Yet
You're sitting here trying to prop up. @IllmaticDelta and he will even tell you all that was developed by ADOS

Again you can FOH with your pan African BS. Because your "breh" you hold to high esteem has called out the Lie your trying to push here:camby:

That stuff is still ADOS

@Insensitive @Cadillac

Yall are arguing two different points.

Aframs music IS an offshoot of what they inherited from Africa BUT then in the New World/USA, against the clashing of Anglo-Celtic American music, created a NEW musical language that would then spread around the world.
thanks for the input
But nah
my point is just a rebuttal to his and it mostly is because of remarks like this he said
There's a lot of literature on Black American Music, it's foundations and how it's still being influenced
by Africa to this day.

.
cmon now, this is hardly true if anything it's the opposite.

Reverence for history of the black folks that came here. Working to end blapck dysfunction instead of encouraging it. Passing down of old traditions.
I would also add need for justice and freedom for all people's as shown in our work historically.

Most black people aren't culturally black then.

If he's talking about the african influences (syncopation) that are inherent because of the slave trade? That part is true. If he means signs of contemporary african influences? That part is false. That part is actually the reverse; as you just said.

No one should have a problem with Lupe’s statement considering a lot of the rhetoric I see on here :yeshrug:
