Yeah man. Also check out the Down The Rhodes documentary. You’ll have to pay for it, but they put a bunch of free clips on their YouTube channel. They showed way more respect to the Black musicians, and you’ll definitely walk away, more educated about 60s and 70s music.I love me some yacht rock, I didn’t know about this

This was a great watch. Especially as someone who sampled a lot of vinyl and used to work in retail hearing these songs over and over

He was talking about Prince Paul’s production on 3 Ft High and Rising using a lot of Steely Dan and songs from this era. He said, Paul didn’t do like the peasants and sample funk and soul beats but sampled Yacht Rock.what did this fat fakkit say now?

I just saw that part... really insulting from a guy whos a Dilla stan who's best most memorable joints are from sampling funk/soul records. Even in the doc lot of those guys flat out admit they were borrowing from black music (not a surprise of course) and it brought home the sad categorization of black = r&b at that time too.
Dope ass documentary tho. Really really insightful and historic.
