ha, with that statement about classical music, you just showed your knowledge of music. Nevermind, LOL... just act like I didn't say anything.
You're thinking about recordings. The majority of public PERFORMANCES are always classical. And remember what you said about students, the only music "taught" anywhere is classical, in school all around the world. Nobody teaches Rock... or Rap. So it has a very, very, very important place in society. But still, I'm questioning why you're trying to downplay the 'white' significance in music, it doesn't matter if someone's white or black that made music, they both make great music. What you could make a case for, though, is American Music. America invented Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, Rap, etc. etc. etc.
okay the whole race issue came to play when i said,sometimes i wish whites would have invented rap because i was complaining that blacks have generally overworn the same shit topically,"the ghetto" and "i'm doper than you" "i'm rich now" "i love you,bitch" the ghetto includes the weed,cops,shooting cars,money issues etc. i'm doper than you is the bragging raps,the "i have a big ass dick and a bag ass gun and a big ass car" etc. right after a line stating "i'm struggling in the ghetto"..."i'm rich now" includes bragging about what he does with his money and party tracks..i could go on but these 4 umbrella topics are generally all rap is...even the gods rakim,biggie,pac slipped into this alot..anfd this is with songs that are approximately pages long, 1 minute long verse is about a page,most songs are 3 verses...so they have 3 pages to say alot and they don't use this....meanwhile the rock i've been promoting have songs that are 1 page long and the lyrics can be so deep diverse and constantly progressing etc....rap was on that level until we realized rap wasn't gonna say anything else....hell the real talented white rappers have taken it farther...everlast has integrated blues with rap,genius! Eminem brings introspective anger to life with vivid shocking disgusting imagery....and he's so oversaturated it's even getting old but he keeps it fresh by using the best tactics of the "i'm doper than you" topic umbrella to express anger rather than shooting someone and getting arrested...how many rappers can we say that about? even the mexicans are just a latinized vesion of the black stuff....cypress hill:weed and the hood same shit.....lil rob....the hood and bitches....i mean there are some rap love songs but these half the time are just asking for pussy and saying they're gonna get it...and when they try to be real love songs it actually can come out good but of course they have to be "hard ass gangsta ass niggaz" so they can't do that very often......can you say fucking inecure? Don't say it's wrong to associate black cultures problems with black musics problems because there is a corellation! The black culture keeps themselves down and they keep their music down,they have talent,they can do it but they don't generally.modern rock is the same way it's stagnated in its "life sucks...i got dumped ahhhh!!!" but at least it pays homage to classic rock.....the only people modern rappers pay homage too are their dead friends, and biggie and pac....i comletely agree with traumas example of life goes on....it's the same to me with "how long wil they mourn me?"...i mean the emotion was there but the precision wasn't.....it's like they just slapped that shit down without checking if their rhymes were good and mindlessy incessantly cussing,i don't have a problem with cussing but they make it just plain fucking stupid! my point was i think white people would have stayed lyrically prgressive and would have made a few significant lyrical statements,rap had made one real significant topical movement,Rocks had about 4....-party anthem-so basic but for the time was great,-rebel-played out now but revolutionary at the time,-love- rock took it deeper-drugs-and how they open the mind and psychedelic visions-and finally depression/anger-which it's still in for better or for worse......rap has had about 23 years and it's cheif themes/statements:battle rap(i'm doper than you)/gangsta rap(ghetto)remain....when rock had 20 years (1952-1972) it was already near the end of its transition from drugs to depression/anger!Now you know i'm not racist but i say that all to defend my statement,i mean after all that(and i know i repeated alot of what i said before in that but most of you have failed to dismantle much of it) can you blame me for saying what said? other than that statement you got about nothin on me lala,okay immersed was a bad word to use for the hendrix comparison but besides his blues/funk stuff his hard rock/psychedelia(which is the bulf of his work and renown,and thats no bias,i like his blues best) are white predominated genres and hendrix was in 'em,which,like i said,is okay.and what do you mean "but with" electric guitars?? Blues had been electric before hendrix, Willie Dixon,Muddy Waters, and JOHN LEE HOOKER!!! doin electric guitar pickin a bit before hendrix.....anyways what does BDP/KRS and black sheep talk about that may support your claim that rap does stretch farther....i'm not saying all rap anyway,just most,the underground stuff is mainly under the "i'm doper than you" umbrella anyway so don't go there....i see at this point this is lacking direction but i'm hoping you people are understanding me here,peace-Tanjint
i think i just got offensive when they said rap is the only real music because my whole point is to make it realized that only a fraction of raps potential has been used,now if you'll excuse me i think i'm go bump tha streetz iz a mutha and see if i can still dig this,wish me luck,peace-Tanjint
