Has Hiphop done more to harm the Black community than good?

James Brown rose to fame in the late 50s and was big for quite some time through the 60s and 70s and even had hits thorugh the 80s.
But if you were born in the 60s, you were probably not out dancing (as you origianlly stated) in his hayday. Regardless of color. Newsflash, not only black people listened to James Brown. By the time most of the 60s peeeps got out dancing, there were bigger stars out.
btw, people are still dancing to James Brown.

 

:???:

 

Or what?

 

Or nothing internet tough guy. Relax put the cane down for a sec lol

 

Lmao

 

Poor guy, calling Elvis and Beatles lames....They did set the stage for a lot of music and are still inspiration and foundation for a lot of modern bands..Besides trying to offend me with that??? That is even worse macth than the James Brown thingy.

 

Both of you are wrong fam.

1.I never said only black people listen to james brown but black kids are more likely to have grown up with his music.

2.In the 70's mainstream James brown faded out but inner city areas like new york james browns music was being sampled and looped in a new genre called hip hop ,that kids born in the 50's and ..............60's
had made together .So yes people born in the 60's were listening , dancing and rhyming to james brown.

 

I did the math for him. Not sure if I got your musical taste right though

 

What hit 70s hip hop song had James brown in it. Sampling wasn't done that much till the 90s

 

Elvis is a swagger jacking lame.

 

Not really, but the message was right on.. He wont see it though.

 

The Beetles are one of the greatest bands, ever.

 

Yeah went with the stereo type sorry lol. What did you listen to?

 

That's debateable fam. Jackson Five was amazing. So was Queen and Journey. Beetles also didn't have much competition either

 

I'm not saying they were the best.

One of the best, ever.

 

Sorry misread what you wrote then in that case totally gotta cosign

 

The man who created hip hop used james brown in the early 70's

 

Im so old I cant recall:smt003
But it was the disco stuff of the 80s etc. Boney M, Yaz, but there was a lot of one hit wonders. Oh, Also Jackson Five and MJ of course!!!
I very early ventured off of that when Uprising came out and Black Uhuru came on the scene - this stuff was HUGE in Sweden then and I was forever lost in Reggae land.
I listened a lot to some Metal bands as well, like Black Sabbath. Was always a fan of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and hate to admit it: Def Leppard.
I have always been all over the map when it comes to music.

 

LOL Andrae, my intellectual soccer ball. You're almost as fun as the BW who troll through here.
