@amelialennon I see rap heading that way very soon. With Eminem in the forefront, It won't be long until it's divided and conquered by the euros again.

If anybody has watched this documentary, there is a beat playing during almost the entire middle of this documentary and i can't place it. someone please help me b/c i've heard a modern rapper sample it but i was trying to figure out who played it originally. Let me know? By the way this joint was awesome!

This documentary rocks.

[amelialennon]

yeah they did, rock evolved from blues. weird how although rock was first created and devolped by black americans, and now its mainly white people who play/listen to it. I don't like that really.

Seeing how black people invented rock.... that should come as no shocker.
