RACE AND RAP: DOES DIVERSITY IN THE BAY HOLD US BACK?

[TKASH]

you actually have summed this whole thing up perfectly.

That's all I can do brother.....thank you.

yeah hip hop is historically a black artform
but what's it come from? disco and soul(early NY rap artists we're performing at disco clubs exclusively)
where's soul come from?
rock and roll
where's rock and roll come from?
buddy guy and the chicago blues artists
where do the chicago blues come from?
the missippi delta blues artists
where did the missippi blues come from?
the jubilee's
where did the jubilee's come from?
west africa

everything comes from something
you say white people don't respect the roots of hip hop
well do all black people respect the true roots of hip hop? or know them?

everyone needs a little education in life
and segregation does not lead to education

do i pay respects to the black forefathers in music because their black?
FUCK NO
i pay respects because i appreciate the music

the struggle forms the music...yes
but the struggle changes
there's always a struggle
but it's not hte same to everyone...
it changes constantly

as long as someone is struggling
their will be powerful music

Perfectly put. Ignorance is a factor regardless of how DIVERSE the bay is , as I said originally , very well put.You can be any race and not know the true roots of something. And you can also have appreciation in where the true essence of it lies.

LOL-That's right, we gotta do somethin' to stir the pot, or else.

People think we're having some "race riot" online, but we're
just having a civilized debate, that's all. If anything, the beauty in the Bay's diversity is that you can hear the other side of the story from the other side directly, as opposed to debating race in a place like Atlanta or Fargo, North Dakota. At least we get direct diversity, regardless if we agree or not.

My wife tends to think we're turning into the guys from the barbershop scene in coming to america.....whatever man...lol.
