Given what I believe to be an accurate and prescient conversation about distribution in the music industry, I find the IDEA of websites like Black Voices and The Root to be acutely absurd. Do Black folk really need to go through AOL or WaPO for a damn web site? Pathetic. Weakest, dumbest shit I've seen in years.

I learned early the Jewish boys had their tough boys and Mob.<br />And Tina and Chaka went to Europe, just b/c they give the artist - Royal Status, especially ours. I did conga on the Chicken Wing's Dance Clubs - South 95. Wasn't for me, stayed with the Black College grouping teaching around Black History Month all the way to South Carolina. Dance and Drumming. I have the deepest respect for the honest Artist, who stays with their craft.nanakwamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-47413038749896618842011-09-16T08:54:28.411-05:002011-09-16T08:54:28.411-05:00That's all Harold Cruse right there.

I have a friend in the sports business whom I've encouraged to read this book...it's long, but the bottom line is that Cruse's analysis is right on the money. In many respects, we are the architects of our own demise -- and for that we owe "thanks" to the acculturation and alienation vortex we all know and love as chutch (not a typo), schools and media and Amerikkkana.

Now that I know a bit more about the whole sordid history of the thing, it's bout to be bulldog time again for a minute. So much pimping going on and corrupting every.single.thing it parasitically touches.<br /><br />Of course you know that the original members of War (which existed nearly a decade before it was backing Eric Burdon) are no longer legally entitled to perform as War? Now you can only find them as the "Original Lowrider Band" - and that ensemble of posers that fat-head pinche-puto George Lopez had on his show pretending to be War, all need to be dragged out into the street and shot with scalding asparagus pee....,CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-38433013517022635092011-09-16T07:42:42.149-05:002011-09-16T07:42:42.149-05:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPll4sQDssUIf I can...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPll4sQDssUIf I can't sell it<br />ibae Ruth on my ipod - Blues on Broadwaynanakwamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-24714867463380024802011-09-16T07:40:05.413-05:002011-09-16T07:40:05.413-05:00Gil Noble gave such a great speech on this, why th...Gil Noble gave such a great speech on this, why they keep his program going, for he knew how ABC got its capital<br />The capital investment to do TV came from this wealth. Ruth Brown was the Lady and she fought hard. The names who were already dead or old and didn't have the money to live their twilight years is a crime. Our great poet Curtis Mayfield was one. When a singer like Brook Benton had to leave the States just to keep living, it showed me how crass capitalism killed human gifts. There was never "free market" economy in the USA. White folks would have been begging Black Folks for entitlements, if that was the case. We are the only ethnic group bombed on twice in this nation. g_d They don't teach any real history.
