At what point in time did rock music start being called "white folk music"?

come on they didn't even try to hide it.

 

[insomniac]

prolly around the time jazz stopped being considered black music.

Like, when did a brotha playing it have the people around him like "yo turn that white people shyt


Was it the late 70s/80s?

Sometime aroundthe British invasion. Blacks abandoned it for other genres

It was stolen on a corporate level and blacks adjusted and moved in

They used the British acts to steal it for them. The rolling stones and the Beatles since they were seen as neutral to American race politics.

Even the term rock n roll is old Black slang for fukking.

White people cannot actually lay claim to any genre of music invented in the Americas. Even bluegrass is considered Black in origin by music historians. fukking Cave beasts are too stiff to develop anything involving rhythm.

They're doing the same thing with hiphop, except instead of going all the way to britain, they're using canada. I've made posts about this regarding drake. But they no doubt come of like the ramblings of a lunatic like alotta other stuff i post. You know our folk wait till the problem is in the ending stages then wanna start complaining, meanwhile we helped it get there cause shyt felt good and we ain't give a fukk about the signs. These devils plan shyt over decades and make it look incidental the whole time, while we worry about what's fly vs what's played out for the next 3 months


Exactly.

Drake Says New York Is Irrelevant To Music Industry Success

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

When he decided to appropriate their sound, other rhythmless whites saw a white guy doing black music and they lit up like a flamethrower and made him the face of rock and roll.

Elvis didn't decide shyt. Sam Phillips from Sun Records was the one who had the idea that if he could find a White artist who could sound Black, he'd make a billion dollars. Elvis never wrote a song in his entire life, he was a puppet.

prolly around the time jazz stopped being considered black music.

That hasn't happened.

I still think that people think Black when they hear jazz. At least the image of Jazz is still Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker, Monk, etc. . .Just the majority of people who are famous doing it today are White.

When chuck berry and little richard started getting invited to perform for white audiences. As I understand it both of them started out as rhythm and blues artist , even though it may have *sounded* like what we label rock and roll now.
Was the term "rock and roll" ever black?

To my understanding it was a term black folks used for sex and black spirituals.

The phrase "rocking and rolling" originally described the movement of a ship on the ocean,[15] but was used by the early twentieth century, both to describe the spiritual fervor of black church rituals[16] and as a sexual analogy. Various gospel, blues and swing recordings used the phrase before it became used more frequently – but still intermittently – in the 1940s, on recordings and in reviews of what became known as "rhythm and blues" music aimed at a black audience.[16]

This intentional "whitewashing" of black music is still happening in 2016. With all the threads on this subject, atleast we're AWARE of it happening. The question is, what are WE gonna do about it?

Nothing. You cant control distribution and thus you dont control the source of the content. Nothing we can do about it and it was before my time but losing Motown was a real fukkin blow.

nikkas gotta look for mostly white youth to captain their studio sessions & buy loops composed by foreign children who can actually read/write music
