Yep. We don't care about our legends. It's usually cacs who pay for their headstones and other stuff.
Headstones like this are all over Mississippi, usually paid for by cacs.
The blues is our music through and through. It's a shame we haven't preserved its legacy. shyt like this is golden:
Cacs keepin' it alive tho.
Sometimes, nikkas have to see non-Blacks playing our shyt to realize how incredible it is.

yeah man you go to many of these old black blues, jazz, even r&b singers, hell even old rappers the crowds are mostly whites
Yeah. We don't value our creations. Now, when cacs mimic the artists and styles they value, they get hit with the cultural appropriation shyt.
I applaud cacs for continuing to support those artists. Otherwise, they'd all die broke and buried in unmarked graves!
bb king we love you, with some dude like john legend doing a tribute
same with michael jackson man,michael jackson was only loved and appreciated in japan and a few european countries till he died
That cac Stevie Ray Vaughan had more soul in him than most of these current Black artists.
That cac could play.
As he got big, he made sure that he brought dudes like Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, and others along. He made sure his influences continued to eat.
I can respect that cac for that.
I remember I saw a cac playin' this and he mentioned it was an old Magic Sam tune.
So, I hit up Youtube and found this shyt:
shyt blew my mind, breh.
All young nikkas want to do is rap and use a fukkin' beat machine.
We needs to bring real instruments back into Black music.

The blues scene in 2015 is very stagnant, all they talk about is sex and relationships (from what I've heard classified as 'blues'). Hardly any balance, kinda like hip-hop.
Gonna be damn hard to find another bb king though.
Here's 10-year-old cac, Toby Lee, paying tribute to BB last month

So, that make Ludacris a Chicago rap legend and not a Atlanta rap legend.
nikka GTFOH.
Most people was born in little country towns back in the 30's-40's.
All of my grandparents was born in little country towns in Texas. But if you ask them where they're from and they will all say Dallas. My grandfather didn't even move to Dallas until he was 19. But he cosidered Dallas to be where he's from.
You're confusing two different things, yes Luda was born in Chicago just like Kanye was born in Atlanta. But that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about the history of Mississippi and the fact that no one outside of David Banner really claims Mississippi and how it contributes to what Mississippi has been reduced to from a public perception standpoint. Memphis is the largest importer of entertainers from Mississippi (B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Bo Diddley, Willie Mitchell). More specifically ALL of the main blues pioneers that got their start in Memphis where from Mississippi which is important to know when it comes to tracking the early origins of blues music.
I'm related to him
Good...I fukk with SRV but dude whole damn playing style is taken from Albert King...
His phrasing,his bending technique,his licks...Stevie just played with more aggression
