Can we talk about how the destruction of black culture utterly ruined black music permanently?
Blacks were among some of the best musicians America had to offer. They pioneered a broad variety of musical styles, sang about love, brotherhood, equality (when they genuinely had none), and staying strong in the face of adversity. Blacks were brought up learning various instruments, and really passed through the generations a musical "soul" crafted through many generations of genuine oppression.
Then rap music came along. Gone are the uplifting lyrics, replaced by vapid materialism, sexism, anger towards whites, authority, education, etc. Black kids are no longer picking up a guitar or saxophone. They're making their fire new mixtape and spamming it over Youtube.
The cycle has been broken. Black music is dead.
>The owners of the brothels, saloons, and cribs would hire musicians to entertain the clients. These audiences tended to not be very critical, giving performers the freedom to experiment with their musical styles. Many different forms and genres of music arose from this experimentation, combining different influences such as African, French, and contemporary. With the closing of Storyville in 1917, the New Orleans musicians who had relied on the district for employment moved elsewhere. Many of these musicians moved to the next major urban center of jazz,Chicago. Musicians, such asLouis Armstrong, flourished here.

>Jazz clubs were the performance platform and alcohol was a common addiction among jazz musicians (1,2). Cannabis, and later, intravenous heroin, became common drugs in the jazz community. The reasons for the high prevalence of substance abuse continue to this day.

Of course these articles are full of white guilt and Jewish multi-culti propaganda, but yes jazz was degenerate.

Black music is pretty good 2bh. Even classically trained Jazz bassist Ron Carter approves of quality rap.

My post was made more in reference to the themes and culture surrounding black music of the 50's-70's. Of course there were drugs involved, there were drugs involved in EVERY genre of music, that's just how it was. But you cannot deny the cultural shift of black music towards less technically skilled, less moral, resentment fueled rap.

Yeah, I don't think Strauss or Wagner were smoking crack and penning sheet music.
Just give up anon, no one is going to award you SJW brownie points here and the ones in your head do you a disservice.

this is truly some top le rong generation stuff, OP.
>Gone are the uplifting lyrics, replaced by vapid materialism, sexism, anger towards whites, authority, education, etc.
all of those things were even MORE present in old black music considering the heavy cultural and government censorship of the arts.

how is this at all like "born in le wrong generation"
Name me five fucking songs from before 1965 which are even nearly as lyrically degenerate as today's black music, faggot.
what happened to blacks is whats happening to whites now. destruction of the nuclear family (in their case it was because of drugs) which results in most children being born from single mothers (now 70% for blacks, 25% for whites and rising).

1935, Shave ‘Em Dry.
Jazz musicians were the biggest degenerates of their time.
All of James Brown.
Not to mention that most of the music you're referring to as uplifting or having 'soul' is from the late 60s, early 70s, which were a specific instance of the feel goods when the black community won the civil rights battle. Most of the music at the time was written by Clarence Reid, aka Blowfly.

If you think you could drink strauss or wagner under the table, sure
>>70125242
also it's 'le wrong generation' because you have same context and historical knowledge on music as /r/music, you think that because you listened to a Sly album that all black music was that.

It's happening to both blacks and whites. Just look at the biggest white "artists" topping billboard.

We live in a society unaware of how it has arrived where it is currently, nor interested in the reasoning behind it

I'd give Wagner a run for his money
