R.I.P. B.B. King

[MouseTeeth]

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.

This is why i love seeing shyt like this...

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

He'd be the first to admit that.

The problem is young cacs who've discovered SRV's music all these years later.

Some of them want to latch onto a white guitar hero they can identify with. But, quite often, they conveniently ignore what he was: a white dude who learned at the feet of Black masters.

I read something about his manager being abusive toward him and stealing $30 million of his money

Legends shouldn't go out like this

Our black legends getting treated like shyt. Sad to see BB King go out like this

 

[Wild self]

We don't value our legends in the Black community.

Young cacs all know who the Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc. are.

Most young Black brehs and brehettes can't name one BB King song.

They do the same to rap legends too. Like Chuck D, KRS, and others

"They call it stormy Monday. And Tuuuuuuuuesday's just as baaaa-haad."

if this was some thug ass rapper lit up thread would be like 50 pages

If it was Future, all the ignorant coli brehs and coli thots (not coli women, there's a difference) would be paying respect without hesitation.

Yep. It'd be a 100 page thread. Easy.

This is BB King we're talking about. A living legend. A our people are just like

 

[mamba]

Most Black people still don't know about this band



Cacs brought them back to the fore.

If you have 30 mins, peep the album

Yeah, brehs and brehettes are at legends dying, but can't wait for the new turnt up track that goes hard in the strip clubs.

That's right. Most Black music produced today is geared toward the strip club.

It's sad when you really think about it.

Black music used to describe every aspect of life, but now been reduced to porno lite partying and senseless violence.

BB King deserves better form black folk.

Interesting at all the post trying to shyt on black folks for not listening to blues. Like do you shyt on black folks in the 70s for listening to r&b and funk and not rock & roll and blues?

That's a reason why Jimi Hendrix was so ahead of the game. His natural talent + him touring around with Black Guitarists from South = Crazy Combination. Cacs were just copying Popular Black Blues / Rock n Roll artists like Chuck Berry, B.B etc while Jimi was honing his skills.

Exactly. Thats why I laugh when cacs try to put people like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and others on Jimi's level.

While they were in their bedrooms trying to master the licks of the Black legends, Jimi was touring with them all over the South! Jimi learned at the feet of blues, r&b and jazz guitarists who were on the Black touring circuit at the time.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

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.

Mississipi birthed some legends

Muddy Waters
Howlin Wolf
Albert King
BB King
Son House
Hubert Sumlin

and im missing countless others

Da hell was in that water?
