I agree with you. We drop too many things and don't really capitalize on them. Then cacs run with them.

I've heard about them stealing rock, but country too
Yes White people stole Country and Bluegrass too. Slaves from West African, most likely Mandingos, brought the banjo to the USA. Country music began on the slave plantations in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Thomas Jefferson even mentioned the slaves having some instrument called a Banjo.
PBS - American Roots Music : Instruments and Innovations - The Banjo
Of course rednecks heard the slaves playing the banjo and then the rednecks started playing it. Now days stupid rednecks think that White people invented the banjo. The slaves also played an African fiddle instrument that I think is called the gogee. For some reason that instrument never caught on, but the fiddle that the Irish/Scottish White people had did catch on among the slaves. So it was the slaves that became the earliest musicians in the USA and they played in something called jamboree (we now call it jam session) which is a Jollof word for loud party or loud noise.
America's Cultural Roots Traced to Enslaved African Ancestors
Btw, it would stand to reason that the Mandingos would have been the group that would have been professional musicians, because the Mandingos had a group of professional musicians called Griots that were throughout the Kingdom of Mali. The instruments from that Kingdom included the Banjo, Kora, Balafon and the djembe.
Country music biggest stars learned from Black Blues musicians. Hank Williams, Sr., who is arguably Country music's biggest star learned from a Black Blues musician named Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne.

Bill Monroe, who is considered the "Father of Bluegrass music" learned from a Black Blues man named Arnold Schultz.

People like Johnny Cash, Elvis Pressley and Jerry Lee Lewis, all list Black Blues musicians and Sister Rosetta Tharp, who was a Black Gospel singer/guitarist as their biggest influences.

Up.
I gotta get out to that Chosen Few Festival sometime soon. I would love to spin that...
I ain't never heard this Dilla track before. Like that's like a Slo-Mo house beat.
This is one of my favorite Dilla joints...
Got that Detroit techno/Kraftwerk synth-pop influence
And Dilla sampled Thomas Bangalter and Daft Punk too.
I feel now I've become that nikka in the techno scene that's not allowing bullshyt like this to pass.We witnessed this recently with that movie La La Land. Hipster piano playing cac walks around with an attitude cause he thinks he's the last person on earth who still appreciates (or even knowlegeable about) Jazz legends like Charlie Parker, Coltrane, etc...
proceeds to join a jazz band and lecture John Legend about music...
I ain't never going to allow some clueless white boy to lecture me about my music and my culture.
Same reason I opted to learn Black/African history from black people online on SOHH and not some cac teaching Africana Studies at a PWI.

this was the tripe I had to hear at a house/techno party rave on Friday night/Saturday morning.
SMH @ white elitist hipster fukks who think listening to black music that black people aren't invested in en masse like that makes them superior than black people.
SMH @ this school of thought that black music outside of hip=hop and R&B can only be enjoyed by "enlightened" and "educated" white people. And black peopel who aren't into that in their eyes are "less intelligent/less cultured"
Why do you care what white people think? Who gives a fukk... if you like the music then enjoy the music, breh.
House music is black music like hip-hop so I don't even understand the point of this post.Yeah come to a hip hop site and complain about house music don’t represent blacks enough
