Michael Rapaport "Concerned What Happened To Jazz Will Happen To Hip Hop"

[StillFaggyAF]

jazz emerged in the 20s and lasted til the 70s/80s

hip hop emerged in the 70s and its now the 10s, we still have some time before its completely whitewashed

however, at least all jazz fans acknowledge the black origins and nature of the music

not all hip hop fans do

I respect homies opinion, but honestly who the fuck thinks of Kenny G when they think of Jazz?

... Anybody?

It's just garbage," Rapaport continues. "This is Hip Hop. It's not Techno. It's not Electro. It's gotta...You have to keep that boom-bap spirit. It has to be there. There has to be a balance between growth and keeping it grounded. I don't know. It's challenging. I always feel like I wish I could rhyme. I could be like the emcee coach. Hip Hop Phil Jackson. I would be like, 'Yo, that shit is wack. Don't do that.'"

Fuck all that ... boombap shit. I'm black, as long as there's drums I'm straight.

He went at Spike sideways so fuck him[/]... he a devil...

he cool with niggers dancing and rapping, but god forbid they don't want to be displaced by gentrification.

Elaborate.....this is news to me

 

[DR. JEK]

Did he play the skin head in higher leading?

But on his opinion ..meh

I still call him Remy when I see him in other stuff

That's the point. Casual fans only know about Kenny G. When casual fans think of hip hop it's only the negative stuff that surrounds it that comes to mind in their eyes.

 

[Billy_Poncho]

I always thought Louis Armstrong when jazz came up, and I'm not even a casual jazz fan

 

[BarryHalls]

Miles Davis and John Coltrane always pop in my head whenever I hear the word Jazz.

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Y'all black though (I'm assuming) you ask the average white person Kenny G will pop up.

No lie I thought Kenny G and Michael Bolton were the same person when I was little lol

 

[freethewave]

I gives no fux about reactions but i do like to know why niggas don't agree

 

[DarthRozay]

Jazz is still around...shit ain't dead, it just ain't mainstream. I don't know if there's anyone that's as standout or recognizable as Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, or Miles Davis but music as a whole doesn't generally have artists that are as standout or recognizable as past artists.

Fuck all that ... boombap shit. I'm black, as long as there's drums I'm straight.

"the dumb are intrigued buy the drum, blah blah blah wah wah wah"

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Still don't know why that line still gets misquoted.

 

[JerfyT]

Miles Davis and John Coltrane always pop in my head whenever I hear the word Jazz.

I'm pretty sure he means people that still put out music.

 

[JerfyT]

He was awesome on Justified this season too
