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

Rest In Power Kobe
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.

He’s staying on brand.
Been listening to yacht music my whole life a didnt know there was a genre (specific sub name for it, rather)…
Until i ran into the Serius yacht rock station during covids
Not sure if chicago and toto are considered YR bands, but i love the shiit out of em.
All the other bands/artists mentioned in the trailer are quintessential givens…
Then you have artists/bands who arent traditionally RY musicians but will make a traditionally sounding yacht-esque tunes… cases in point:
Too bad i dont have HBO… but i respect it.
Rock on, wayne.
