"White people listen to music black people used to listen to. Black people don't listen to house"

Why do you care what white people think? Who gives a fukk... if you like the music then enjoy the music, breh.

Dawg, I make posts like these to spearhead conversations amongst other people that might not be privy to these schools of thought like myself.

I have producing music since 1997 and DJing since 1999. Obviously if I was phased by what other people think I wouldn't of been doing this for 20 years and still making records. And I just released two new records last week.

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.

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.

Kinda off topic: I'm not too familiar with house btw, would this be considered a house beat? @Sagat

disco beat but alot of house sounds overall just like this

 

[feelosofer]

House is still big in Jersey, especially in the Newark area.

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"

I dont know about the "black people dont listen to house" thing. Having been to many house music festivals i'd say 99% of the crowd is black.

• I've gone to "house in the Park" in Atlanta every year for the past 7 years
• I once went to "Mi Casa Su Casa" house festival in Costa Rica. They usually have it in Mexico or COsta Rica but it's organized and managed by black people from the US and damn near 90% of people who attend are black people from the US.
  
• i also plan to go to "Chosen Few" in Chicago some day. I heard it's overwhelmingly black

Love this. We're is this?

I wanna say Grant Park, but it could also be millennium park too

If you meant Grant Park in Atlanta i dont think so. I go to the one in Grant Park Atlanta every year , and that part doesnt look familiar at all.

But if you're ever interested in the Atlanta one check out this site

House In The Park | Atlanta House Music Festival

Me and my friends set up a couple of tents there every year for the festival

There is a big range breh. Most of what you hear today is the yt interpretation of it. But the deep soul and deep garage stuff is soulful.

And there is faster stuff.
