serious question: when and where did house music stop being cool amongst black Americans?

If youre from North or Central Jersey and Black then House is pretty much embedded in you

I disagree...infact alot of 90's R&B was basically soulful house. Many modern neo soul tracks are house-based

There still a lot of recent music that has come out that is house based. Madonna still pushing it.



Sounds just like......

Yo that's kind of a throwback.

Lowkey a lot of house music had some gospel influence. Mainly with the singers that would lay the vocals.

I really liked how they put in the same soulful energy on a house track that they would for a gospel song.

Black people outside of a couple of areas never fukked with electronic music like that.

Not even hood electronic music.

Try throwing on some club music or some dj slugo juke trax in sc or Alabama or Louisiana and watch them look at you like

1978(9) to 1981 seems to be a complete jumbled mess
As it pertains to what the euros influenced an what the aframs influenced
Particularly the germans and the french

By the way house still is heavy on the UK and European pop scene ... what type of music is Calvin Harris really making for example

The whole juke/jit regional thing is crazy
Both 160bpm
But chi doesnt fukk with jit
And detroit doesnt fukk with juke.

The name jit comes from the clubs in Detroit
They would have signs on the clubs back in the day that said "no jits allowed".
Basically meant "no hood nikkas".
And jit is pretty much sped up techno mixed with ghetto house.

I saw some dvd footage of jit. That shyt is crazy. The dances are fast as hell. All that footwork

 

[How Sway?]

This is probably the dopest juke footwork trax here

 

[Blackout]

When white people went into it and made it corny

Same thing with rock and roll.
