#116 Black Music that Black People Don’t Listen to Anymore « Stuff White People Like
#116 Black Music that Black People Don’t Listen to Anymore
November 18, 2008 by clander
All music genres go through a very similar life cycle: birth, growth, mainstream acceptance, decline, and finally obscurity. With black music, however, the final stage is never reached because white people are work tirelessly to keep it alive. Apparently, once a music has lost its relevance with its intended audience, it becomes MORE relevant to white people.
Historically speaking, the music that white people have kept on life support for the longest period of time is Jazz. Thanks largely to public radio, bookstores, and coffee shops, Jazz has carved out a niche in white culture that is not yet ready to be replaced by Indie Rock. But the biggest role that Jazz plays in white culture is in the white fantasy of leisure. All white people believe that they prefer listening to jazz over watching television. This is not true.
Every few a months, a white person will put on some Jazz and pour themselves a glass of wine or scotch and tell themselves how nice it is. Then they will get bored and watch television or write emails to other white people about how nice it was to listen to Jazz at home. “Last night, I poured myself a glass of Shiraz and put Charlie Parker on the Bose. It was so relaxing, I wish I had a fireplace.” Listing this activity as one of your favorites is a sure fire way to make progress towards a romantic relationship with a white person.
Along with Jazz, white people have also taken quite a shine to The Blues, an art form that captured the pain of the black experience in America. Then, in the 1960s, a bunch of British bands started to play their own version of the music and white people have been loving it ever since. It makes sense considering that the British were the ones who created The Blues in the 17th Century.
Today, white people keep The Blues going strong by taking vacations to Memphis, forming awkward bands, making documentaries, and organizing folk festivals. Blue and Jazz music appeal mostly to older white people and select few young ones who probably wear fedoras. But that doesn’t mean that young white people aren’t working hard to preserve music that has lost relevance. No, there are literally thousands of white people who are giving their all to keep old school Hip Hop alive.
Even as you read this, white people are telling other white people about the golden age of Hip Hop that they experienced in a suburban high school or through a viewing of The Wackness.
If you are good at concealing laughter and contempt, you should ask a white person about “Real Hip Hop.” They will quickly tell you about how they don’t listen to “Commercial Hip Hop” (aka music that black people actually enjoy), and that they much prefer “Classic Hip Hop.”
“I don’t listen to that commercial stuff. I’m more into the Real Hip Hop, you know? KRS One, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, De La Soul, Wu Tang, you know, The Old School.”
Calling this style of music ‘old school’ is considered an especially apt name since the majority of people who listen to it did so while attending old schools such as Dartmouth, Bard, and Williams College.
What it all comes down to is that white people are convinced that if they were alive when this music was relevant that they would have been into it. They would have been Alan Lomax or Rick Rubin. Now the best they can hope for is to impress an older black person with their knowledge.

Darker Me, THE 11 CATEGORIES OF "HOES"
TextTHE 11 CATEGORIES OF “HOES”
1.) The Groupie Hoe - These are pretty self explanatory. They tend to flock in herds. Celebs get to hump these chicks just because of who they are. Free p*ssy basically handed out. Most of them roam in a Zombie-like-Trance chasing men they will probably never have but they don’t care. Usually they have the mentality of a 12 year old school girl in love. Whether it be Twitter, Facebook, Myspace or REAL LIFE, they are EVERYWHERE. They are the Cockroaches of society. THEY WONT GO AWAY!
2.) The 1 Night Stand Hoe - The chick you meet at the club and usually lets someone f**k on the 1st night they meet. Alot of dudes pursue these kind of women cause there’s usually no attachment afterwards. You hump, maybe exchange numbers, part seperate ways and think to yourself, damn that was fire but super easy. She was a straight HOE.
3.) The Crew Hoe - The Crew hoe is a female that seems like shes trying so desperately hard to hang out with a certain group of homies. Usually she gets passed around from homie to homie (super gross) but doesnt really seem to care and still hangs out with em even though she KNOWS that they all know wassup.
4.) The Digital Hoe - The ones that send out nude pics to a bunch of different guys and somehow they end up finding out they have the same pic or risque videos. Usually Digital Hoes go in on #TwitterAfterDark and are SERIOUS. Sexting, Skype Sex, and TwitterSex everyone and eventually get humped by a bunch of different men she meets over the web. Twitter has alot of lowkey digital hoes they just dont know it…FACT
5.) The Undercover Hoe - The ones that you KNOWWWW are a hoe yet you are having trouble finding out evidence to prove this and they just remain in denial. Usually it could take months of determined investigation. These are tough but are EVERYWHERE. Also they usually expose themselves when they get drunk and start major “Decepticon Activities”. The truth always comes out under the influence (that chick that always makes out with everyone at parties)
6.) The Hustling Hoe - Women that use “The Power of the P*ssy” for money, car ride, food, material items etc…Pretty basic. Using the p*ssy power to pretty much get anything they want (Strippers are best at this as an example…No disrespect)
7.) The Messy Hoe - Off tops example, KAT STACKS. These are chicks that you f*ck and then RUN THEIR MOUTH TO THE WORLD ABOUT IT!!! Usually they try to blackmail a dude to get what she wants or in Kat Stacks case, become famous.
8.) The Virgin Hoe - Yes the VIRGIN hoe really exists. These are chicks that usually talk the talk but never necessarily seem to walk the walk. Virgin hoes will tell guys they got the business or the sex is bomb but dont really put out aka “THE BIG TEASE”. Usually they put up a front about how they really get down and just lie forever playing the innocent role. Yeah right… (usually they give out the most HEAD without actual penetration intercourse)
9.) The Cheating Hoe - Pretty self explanatory also. The chick that has a man but clearly dont give a f*ck and is humping another dude on the low. It happens more than what people realize. As long as they dont get caught, they continue. These are usually the females that end up making 2 men fight and ALWAYS have a cloud of drama surrounding them.
10.) The Oblivious Hoe - better known as “Dumb Hoes”. This is the girl that pretty much fits in most of the previous categories i just listed except she really has NO CLUE of her “Hoelike Nature”. Total airhead lost in space and just continues her ways. Generally these are the chicks that get taken advantage of, get ran thru, or fall in love with a guy that clearly is just using her for sex whenever he wants it from her.
last but not least we have………
11.) The Denial Hoe - The chick that KNOWS what she is, she KNOWS how she gets down, she KNOWS everyone knows about her, and even KNOWS when she’s clearly been caught. Yet she still has the audacity to say “I don’t know what your talking about!! Thats not me. Stop lying about me!! WHATEVER!! >=O ” ………….so annoying (usually thats most of all of them wrapped in 1)
I think I personally know ALL these "Garden Utensils"! LOL

Dear Drake, Are You a Singer or a Rapper?
undeniably well, which may lead to why some people doubt or question Drake's role as a rapper. Is Drake the first rapper who has also pulled off the role of singer also? You can't deny that he is holding down both roles because he has radio rotation, record sales, and billboard slots to vouching for him. Drakes current album,"Thank Me Later", was released on June 15,2010. Drakes album failed to achieve the 1 million copies sold that his camp was expecting for the first week but did capture about 55% to 60% of that goal. Drake currently has four songs on Billboard Top 100 for the week of July 10th, 2010 so I think that Drake is good to go. Drake is signed to Aspire/Young Money/Cash Money Records and has all publishing rights to his music on top of getting a 2 million dollar advance and retaining 75% of music sales revenue from his label.I hadn't paid much attention to the fact that Drake was actually singing hooks in his songs until it was brought to my attention and I dismissed the notion.After thoroughly examining songs by Drake I determined that Drake was singing the hooks and rapping!
I don't think that the average rapper was taking Drake seriously until he took over and scrambled all the radio waves in the air! Lol. Drake is very smart or he has a whole lot of smart people advising him.
In the song "Fancy" featuring T.I. and Swizz Beats, Drake states: don't do it for the man, the man never notice, do it for yourself, u the f*cking codecs!Codecs are often designed to emphasize certain aspects of the media, or their use, to be encoded. For example, a digital video (using a DV codec) of a sports event, such as baseball or soccer, needs to encode motion well but not necessarily exact colors, while a video of an art exhibit needs to perform well encoding color and surface texture.
OR
Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world!
If you don't get that let me explain!(you have the power)
