Is it only me that remembers when Onyx... Sticky Fingaz n em... used to be House cats before they started to rap?

Anyway I got tired of house 2 years ago much like I can barely listen to hip hop anymore. Music in General is dead.

Although I'm sure there's a lot of good tracks out, the last house I really listened to was African house:

No it didn't.

It started in the black clubs in the 70s. In fact, disco and hip-hop pretty much started around the same time.

I was talking to an old head friend of mine in the club last night.

Studio 54 (and their bougie club entry policies) and the commercialization of disco was really the first attempt at white washing Disco and black music...trying to make it a white thing and removing it from it's roots in the underground black clubs.

Dude, I've studied house music and read many books and articles on it. And seen movies like this one and many like it (I'm not watching this I don't have the time for it). As well, I've DJd for almost 15 years. (I'll be 30 in August)

Facts is facts. House music originated in black gay clubs like the Paradise Garage and loft parties and with people like Larry Levan in the 70s

The first rave was in Chicago in 1982. The first contemporary Techno record was "Shari Vari" (the name of a popular Detroit club) by A Number of Names. This is from DETROIT. And this record dates back to 1981!



Kraftwerk was broken in America by Black Djs in the Midwest in the late 70s/early 80s.

People want to act like it started in midtown Manhattan but it was more like uptown Manhattan in the Bronx.

The way things were, black DJs couldn't break through in the white clubs becausse of how things were sectioned off (besides obvious racism).

Let's not re-write history here cause there's no point and it's a severe disservice to the innovators and creators who made this.

Revisionism like the kind LostOne is pedalling is genuinely pathetic. As you mentioned, the history of House is pretty well documented.

Let's keep this thread positive, brehs.

:mjlol:Thats what I've been saying all along. Lets be clear, the post I was responding too was about the vogue crowd. I take that to mean the gay crowd. Unless I am mistaking the group he was referring too.:yeshrug:

Let me tell how deep this house music shyt is and how it's been stolen by others.

Even that "vogue" shyt gays took came out of black and Latino clubs in NYC in the 70s.

Check this chick out dancing..... :mjpls:
