Louis Jordan & His Timpany Five - Look Out Sister

[3206jose]

rap schmap! Louis Jordan is the real deal. Don't try to make it legit by associating it with Louis. Who cares where rap came from. It's not going anywhere except for a handful of anti social malcontents and the media that is constantly trying to push it to make a buck. Louis is about real drums not drum machines, real horns not a syntheziser, real upright bass, not a digitized 12 string bass. In other words, real music, not phony plastic cardboard noise.

This is the root of Linda Clifford's Don't Give It Up, from 1979. Same theme but she puts a woman's twist on it. Amazing.

this is where rap began!! haha

isnt that right Zoldash????

[zoldash]

THE EARLY HIP HOP HAD COMEDY AND THEY KNEW HOW TO NOT TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY, IT WAS NOT RAP. JEEZ!!!!!

HUMILITY!!! PLEASE WHY DO MUTHAFUCKAS ALWAYS TRY TO LINK WHERE RAP CAME FROM AS IF RAP IS ANYWHERE IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS ELLINGTON, BASIE, AND LOUIS! PLEASE.

[zoldash]

This isn't where Rap begins. This is total showmanship AND musicianship. Don't fuck Louis' shit up by saying this is where Rap begins! Please. Rap is inner city braggards set to funk sampling and funk/soul tempos.

Louis was the consumate comedian/showman/musician he didn't have a nanoparticle of the ARROGANCE THAT THE RAP STARS HAVE, AND THEY COULD NEVER TOUCH HIS MUSICIANSHIP PLEASE NIGGA.
