Curtis Mayfield was incredible and totally underrated as a writer and a musician. He is just a little bit behind Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder in my book. Mayfield wrote stuff like this:

why do people make these fashion show penis measuring contest threads.

You can celebrate something without making comparisons about how's better based on subjective preferences that end up being a one up game based on who can insult who. This always turns into grown adults with elementary child like conversations about who can burp the best.
How is this "penis" measuring. I never mentioned any other ethnicity or culture

Thats why i said your projecting

:scust:i hate seeing hipsters and other cacs acting like they "discovered" screw.

And then calling it "drag" or "vapor". :snoop:

It's like I understand them running off with trap, cuz that sound is mainsteam and everywhere. But screw music was never mainstream and never diffused outside of TX & LA at when screw was living, and still to this day remains a niche genre among screwheads outside of TX and SW Louisiana. So, they had to actively go looking for it to find it. I did some research and the original witch house and vaporwave artist "quietly" give props to DJ screw in select obscure interviews while they took off with the sound and introduced it to these hipsters, but %99 of it's most current artist and fans probably don't even know who DJ screw is. If that ain't cultural appropriation than I don't know what is.

Maybe I'm taking it personal cuz I'm from the H.

Edit: Look at this shyt.

From where I stand, jamaicans,afro cubans and afro americans are tied in terms of impact, but innovation? There is only one obvious answer.

I love delta blues


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.

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.
