[Johnnie Ray]

Black music went south after Public Enemy.

The dirty south! Nelly!

 

[Johnnie Ray]

I think it was when talking fast over a drum machine became accepted as music.

Start talking fast, see. Why I oughtta, turn off that drum machine, you dirty rat.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Black music went south after Public Enemy.

You’re dismissing the entire wave of absolutely fantastic rap music in the 90’s. There’s a treasure trove of great albums from 1992-1997.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Not sure if folks have heard the podcast
"A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs",
but here's The Four Tops episode of I Can't
Help Myself.

https://500songs.com/podcast/episode-132-i-cant-help-myself-by-the-four-tops/

It's a good podcast to learn about music.
Kinda got a feelin' that he might do a Smiths
one in the future, but it might be awhile 'cause
he's still in the late 60's.

I love that podcast - such great research! The host Andrew Hickey is from Manchester so I'm sure the Smiths will be in a future episode, but way in the future like several years times.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Can you show a few examples?

Nas and Kendrick Lamar are two excellent examples of socially conscious and poetically gifted rappers active today. Nas has been around since the 90’s and is still releasing solid albums. Kendrick broke through in the early 2010’s and has nearly drowned in critical praise since.

I’ll check them out when I’m in a better mood.

Here's what good Hip Hop sounds like.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Here's what good Hip Hop sounds like.

That is very true. I was focusing on contemporary stuff. Hiphop in general peaked in 1992-1997.

This song makes me cry without fail, jeez, as soon as I saw the title I had tears well up. I use to sing it to my cat child/animal soul mate, Tiny Marie. Nearly a year now since she left me... August 15th 2023.

RIP Abdul, and all of Four Tops.
RIP baby girl.

 

[Seymour Glass]

My question about "hip hop" is, why do people who listen to it while driving feel the need to share it with everyone in a five mile radius? And isn't the bass a tad high?

Did you have to go there?
William, it's really nothing.

Just for information…!

He'll probably know their story well, bein'
from Manchester.
I think he already mentioned that Johnny's
janglin' guitar sound descends from the guy
in The Searchers (could be a different band).

 

[Johnny]

Incredible music. Rest easy, Sir.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

My biggest pet peeve ever. No one can find all that noise, rattling the car with nothing but bass enjoyable! Why assholes do that is one of life's big mysteries. It is usually some white kid with a wispy mustache and backwards hat. The bass is so high, the genre is not discernible.

 

[Billy A]

I wonder if it was that specific video that inspired the video for Jacky.

On the whole.........I've always hated rap music.
