If you are going to discuss Delta Blues then Memphis Minnie has to be considered one of the best of all time. Even some of the bluesmen considered her the best. Listen to the guitar work in this song. This is from almost 100 years ago.



Then there is my boys Slimp Harpo, Elmore James, Albert King, Freddie King, etc. Crazy good.

Man that guitar work better than anything "Guitar" on the radio. Zeppelin and their clones are fukking boring..

I love blues in that pace.. and the bends

i hope y’all are cacs, or this is some terrible internalized white supremacy, son of a master’s slave talk.

the finest culture imitated throughout the world and yall live in the shyttiest of conditions. can’t even get water to flint.

so what’s the solution? find out how to defeat those who robbed you?

no. forget them vulturing your culture.

make the most awkward twist and use that word to describe ppl of your own nation.

this is some spineless ass tap dancing.


we got some jews on this site shyttin on nikkas whenever they get the chance.

do we get 15 page threads pressing them and their vulturism that literally keeps you poor?

u say jamaicans vulture you? what comes from it? how can they do that and live in the same conditions as you?

u hate the condition youre in, so you with your fragile identity, pick on those in the same condition rather than those who profit from your culture, then use the proceeds to make u look like a damn monkey on the tv screen.


are y’all aware of the relationship between the blacks and jews?

island ppl have their country run by different cacs, so u attack them instead of the cacs.

al jolsen is a blackface legend. barbara streisand is a queen of stolen music.

they make millions. but it’s island ppl who u must attack.


you are either a cac or a coward. what’s really the difference tho?

crazy how the jewish run jamaica, live there, and can come to america and still be jewish.

let your own nikka leave new york and go down south for a couple years.

he come back with a accent and y’all wanna look at him different. call him fake even.

this is the most superficial spineless shyt. go read up on your identity and stop the tap dancing.

Breh if you dont get this fake militant shyt the fukk outta here

No one was even worried about island nikkas till someone mentioned them. They really have nothing to do with the conversation
And all this over a music discussion...No you just needed an outlet to express all your grievances on Afram culture, however petty they may be (Flint mchigan)

Some of yall are phoney as hell. I hope u have that same fake militant energy when others in the diaspora big up their culture

Dont play yourself

Yeah yall know now that Im Jamaican and even I gotta disagree with that. No matter what the Retired SKJ posters on here tell you since Jamaicans are known for their extreme cockyness. Like being overly cocky....they just got reggae, dancehall and early ska. Thats it and most of the classics were the past 50 years. Black Americans have been killing it music wise for literally about or over 100 years.

It does not compare at all.

Not only that but we talking music...even when comparing the worlds greatest dancers ever, every single person in the top 10 is probably a Black American from Mike, James Brown, Sammy Davis, Tina Turner, Janet Jackson,etc. The best guitarists are Black Americans. Best singers male and female are Black Americans. Best drummers Black Americans. Best songwriters are Black Americans...Smokey Robinson, Babyface, etc. Best producers are Black Americans

It took Bill Clinton signing a Telecommunications Law in 1996 to mess up the flow of the nonstop run Black Americans were on, thats how elite they are.

Aframs do not fukk with Jamaican music like that. The only people that do are Jamaicans and the UK which has significant Jamaican influence. Outside of Marley, Sean Paul, maybe Buju Banton and Vybz, most aframs could not name any other Jamaican artist. Jamaican music or influence is pretty much non-existent in the Midwest.

I can tell you from experience that they act arrogant and believe otherwise because of their shows in Europe. They think because they sell out shows and get booked alot in Europe it makes their reggae and dancehall genre so better than everyone else. Many do not know that Europe in general is more receptive to music and concerts in general especially throwback acts.

You would think them seeing that Marley is literally the ONLY Jamaican artist ever to be in a top selling list of all time would be a big hint to them but whatever...

not even in the same league as aframs when it comes to musical invention-originality/influence. In fact, Jamaicans are the most afram influenced, musically (OG R&B begat Ska, Doo Wop/Soul begat Rocksteady-Reggae, Jive Of Jazz/Blues era begat Toasting->Deejay/Dancehall) of all other NEW World Black, groups. It goes like this

Range of Innovation/originality

1. Afram
2. Afro-Cubans
3. Afro-Brazilians


Historic Influence/level of Impact

1. Afram
2. Afro-Cubans
3. Jamaicans
4. Afro-Brazil

We need to see more Culture explanation movies that blow up like Black Panther did. I want films like a documentary on James Brown and George Clinton to get as big in theaters as Black Panther did to humble groups like Jamaicans who think they invented any and everything. Vybz Kartel is not gonna be known as a legend across the world 50 years from now

 

[CASHAPP]

Damn y'all mad

Sean Paul Dutty Rock>>AA's greatest hits

All jokes aside, I'm from the North Bronx plus have extended Jamaican relatives so maybe I was exposed to it more than people who didn't grow up around Jamaicans

I can respect the AA>>Jamaican music argument but even then Jamaican would be close 2nd

with that Afro Cuban(etc)>>Jamaican music talk because that's just foolishness

And how breh named all them Jamaican artists but leave out Buju?

Speaking of Buju

No AA (or any other people for that matter) has ever made a song more motivational, inspirational, heartfelt and just down right jaw dropping (literally) than

Spoiler

As trash as music is now in the States its even worse in Jamaica. I mean you dont get embarrassed that every single dancehall female artist is constantly yapping about her pum pum on every sec even in their late 30s? I know the cop out argument will be to talk about old female rappers who did it..but Black Americans have other sub genres like neo soul where its tons of alternatives

I mean.... its so bad that literally every woman with Caribbean roots that comes to the states will be sexualized in some way in the music industry. Not a coincidence most female rappers throughout history from New York have had second generation roots from the Caribbean and have been the main ones like that... I think yall let this ¨Carnival is a sexual culture"go to your head too much cause its like your women find it impossible to NOT be sexual.

Even the ones that dont do music like Keyshia Kyoir....like is all they can do is be flashy?

Is Lila Ike the only person who can be a Lauryn Hill? Step yall shyt up for real

 

[CASHAPP]

How ya'll most iconic song about killing gay people?

Is this the heights of Jamaican culture?

I would hope not.

For your sake.

Also Fela Kuti > Bob Marley

And I think afrobeat (also influenced by aframs) is about to overtake reggae in global appeal.

I love going in on Jamaicans and being called a sellout. But you right breh. Marley died in 1980 or 81 and he is still almost 40 years later their ONLY artist who is on the top selling of all time list They have had people like Beres Hammond and others have alot of classics but why is it for all they brag about how great they are and how influential their music is only Marley is in the top lists as far as selling goes?

Marley died in early 80s and from that time up to 2000 Black Americans had even MORE legends solidifying themselves from post Jackson 5...Michael, Whitney, Janet, Prince, Tupac, Brandy, Toni Braxton, En Vogue, SWV, Babyface(ill count him just as a producer), TLC, etc and thats just a few.

 

[CASHAPP]

Your name instantly reminded me of something else

Lauryn Hill´s daughters name is Selah and you reminded me how Lauryn , a Black American woman carried two foreign black men on her back. Sorry i cant resist the diaspora wars but im giving facts.

When a completely underground sub-genre of Hiphop from the hoods on the southside of your city has a huge secret cult following among a bunch of white and other non-black edm/alternative hipsters that spawns a bunch of other contemporary genres.

I like the Piedmont Blues too, which is generally from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. That is the version of the Blues that Country, Bluegrass and Folk music is from. People didn't even know that Etta Baker was Black until they saw an album cover with her and Taj Mahal. She and her sister played the banjo and acoustic guitars.

Then there is Lesley Riddle. He was a Black man hired by the Carter family to catch songs (Blues songs), which the Carters reworked for the White audiences. Riddle ended up teaching Maybelle Carter how to play a style of guitar. The Carter family is now considered the "First Family of Country" sort of like Elvis is considered the "King of Rock and Roll." Then there are the folk singers that steal so much from guys like Mississippi John Hurt that if guys like Bob Dylan and that crowd don't acknowledge it then people don't even realize that Folk music is just a rework of Blues, specifically Piedmont.














Piedmont blues - Wikipedia

Knowledge is power. I heard of the Carter Family and how they were the 1st family of country, but I had no idea about Leslie Riddle teaching their family guitar or going into black areas and bringing them back material. Makes sense that Piedmont Blues would be the biggest influence on country, given the Banjos Sahelian origin.

say brehs, I made a playlist for work the other day and I basically had a lot of 70s soul and r&b like Stevie, Bill Withers, Earth Wind and Fire etc and I also had a lot of neo soul on there(Jill, Erykah, D'angelo..) and I gotta say that the neo soul stuff really pales in comparison to that stuff from the 70s. it's like nowhere near as good, not even in the same universe. looking back on a lot of the neo soul movement I think it resonated so much because of the state of contemporary r&b at the time. but if you wanna compare the arrangements and songwriting and all that it really doesn't hold a candle to the OGs. anybody else feel that way or is it just me?

Who is Jill Scott holds up pretty good tho

Like 80% of what I listen too nowadays is 70's RnB and Soul. I don't know, there's just something about the stuff from that period that seems timeless to me, and pleases my ears sonically more than many other genres....



I don't know if it was the melodies, vocal arrangements, I don't know what it is musically.



Neo Soul like you said, came at the perfect time. Timing and place. But that 70's stuff....
