Jonathan Emmesedi🧵 2/2...to talk about rap more generally. I explained that hip hop had grown up after my adolescence, and so it had never been part of my youthful sound world. By and large it's a musical genre that I enjoy only in small doses, and I dislike much of the culture of conspicuous consumption and ultramasculinity that seems typical of a good deal of recent hip hop.I did point out, though, that I don't have a blanket hatred of the genre, and that one track from almost half a century ago still struck me as both powerful social commentary and a cleverly written song:<a href="https://youtu.be/PobrSpMwKk4?si=L9DvOBISEDvZzFxN" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/PobrSpMwKk4?si=L9DvOBISEDvZzFxN</a>My son had never heard of it. I wondered whether he would find it hokey, but in fact he told me he was impressed.I'd love to tell you that this was the beginning of a long evening of father-son bonding, but when I put on NMIXX -- Know About Me, he found that he had important things to attend to in his room....<a href="https://c.im/tags/HipHop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HipHop</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rap</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheMessage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheMessage</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GrandmasterFlashAndTheFuriousFive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrandmasterFlashAndTheFuriousFive</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Parenting</a>

OUR COMMON GROUNDI was a comrade of Paul Coates in our youthful pursuit for freedom and justice. I remember the night that his, now son, Sr. Professor of Journalism at Howard University and philosopher author was born. I beam when I read his work, and hear his stinging and steel truth about the world in which we live. Read him to understand so many things through the eyes of boy who grew up to be a truthteller. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMastodon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TaNehis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TaNehis</a> Coates <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TheMessage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheMessage</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Roots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roots</a>

dj zenn1000 Day Album Challenge (#63) Cymande: Cymande (1972) [03.03.24]time has been lost in trying / we have been left outside / looking at passions dying / emotions grow strong all the time…if you’re a fan of groove-oriented music and don’t Cymande the time has come to change that. Cymande were a black British funk outfit whose sound featured elements of funk, soul. rock, and African music with strong undertones of Rastafarianism. their particular groove tends to be slow, but hypnotic.there are three tunes on their debut that people might recognize without ever hearing the band because Dove, Bra, and The Message have each been sampled dozens of times by acts such as De La Soul, Gang Starr, Def Jef, MC Solaar, Masta Ace, The Coup, Fugees, Wu-Tang Clan, and EPMD.I truly appreciate the impact that Hip Hop’s sampling aesthetic has had on the breadth and depth of my musical interests and tastes. Cymande is one of those bands that would have likely fallen through the cracks for me if their music had not been kept alive and reinvigorated by the producers who sampled them. without them I might never had sought out their music.Stetsasonic put it perfectly on their classic tune Talkin’ All That Jazz, “tell the truth, James Brown was old / ‘til Eric and Rakim came out with I Got Soul / rap brings back old R&B / and if we would not, people could've forgot”<a href="https://c.im/tags/1000DayAlbumChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1000DayAlbumChallenge</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cymande" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cymande</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dove</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bra</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheMessage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheMessage</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stetsasonic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stetsasonic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TalkinAllThatJazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TalkinAllThatJazz</a>
