5:00 minutes of my life I wish I had back...
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you made it through the entire five minutes. They lost me before the video reached the halfway mark.
DeleteRock and Roll is D E D ded. C rap is IN, get with it and join a gang.
ReplyDelete^ Stupid comments. A group of guys getting together highlighting the town with their music of choice instead of going somewhere else to do it, and you got to brow beat them - as if you're doing anything constructive at all. If you are, I doubt you'd be willing to let anyone see/hear/critique it.
ReplyDeleteThere's no words to describe.
ReplyDeleteNever been a fan of rap. But hey, it's a free country. Don't see it being marketable here, though. Could say something about white rapper "wannabes" except people said the same thing about Eric Clapton......
ReplyDeleteSome advice for the band. Speaking as a former white Blues musician, PREPARE TO BE SCREWED WITH. Both because you're white, and because you're from Vermont. Blues is "Black" music, and I received a considerable amount of criticism for doing it, but white people had been doing it long enough for most of the hatred to have gone. Rap is still considered sovereign territory by many, and not being from an urban area doesn't help. I'm not saying don't go out there, just that the music business is as cutthroat as anything you'll see, so expect some hassles. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThere's a number of American popular music genres that started with blacks and were later adopted by whites. Goes back to ragtime, then jazz, etc.
DeleteYes, and to this day, African Americans still accuse white people of "stealing" all these musical styles. I've heard it myself. My personal belief is that rap was created with the intention of being so hostile to white culture that Whites would never consider performing it. I guess that didn't work either!
DeleteThe video, is, to my mind and tastes, of little artistic merit. On the other hand, your post, Anon 9:12, strikes me as that of a frightened racist.
Delete9:12 is correct that the white adoption of musical genres pioneered by blacks has sometimes been characterized as "stealing", though that was perhaps for want of a better word to reflect resentment. Typically the performance styles of whites differed from those of blacks, as I feel is the case today in rap, but the genres appealed to large audiences of whatever hue. As to the rest of the comment, racial hostility unfortunately persists.
DeleteSeems like you can't even have a thoughtful discussion involving race without being accused of racism. This is why our national dialogue goes nowhere.
DeleteIn the Chuck Berry documentary Hail Hail Rock 'N Roll, Mr. Berry repeatedly laments the fact that "black" music didn't become popular until whites performed it. (or stole it) Little Richard's comments were a bit more pragmatic when he acknowledged that black artists received much more royalty money from their music after white artists covered them, and pretty much conceded that he didn't really care as long as he got paid...Either way, if the music wasn't great, it wouldn't have become popular. I don't like rap, but if it's popular, it's worth money.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Chuck Berry sued almost every rock band in existence for using his licks. He couldn't prove he originated them, and he lost. Strange but true.
DeleteI can't with the line cook smoking on the job, guy.
