Yup. Black artists put out incredible quality stuff clear up to the early ‘80s... and then the cancer of rap hit. It was like AIDS to modern music. The quicker it dies, the better, but it’s gone on now for almost 30 years. Sickening.
Sort of the way Be-bop jazz (self indulgent cr** for the most part) virtually put an end to Swing jazz, one of the greatest American art forms and music genres ever.
