It's a thoughtful examination of hip hop by, I believe, a black man. He laments the passing of the smooth Motown-style music of old, and I agree. In the sixties and seventies, black music was the best in America.

Now?

In the sixties and seventies, black music was the best in America.

If it hadn't been for the Four Tops, Temptations, James Brown, War, Jimmi Hendrix, Commodores,etc. The 60's and 70's would've been terrible decades for music. Just like the 80's and 90's were with RAP.

I've often wondered what 30 year reunion concerts would be like for RAP singers... those that live that long, that is. Who would wanna hear "Baby Got Back" and the like? Music from my youth, though out-dated for today, would at least be fun again. Rap music takes an attitude to listen to it. By then, the old fans won't care that much.

Rap is not the only form of music blacks produce.
