(Huh) My grandmomma was raised on a reservation
(Huh) My great grandmomma was, from a plantation
They sang - songs for inspiration
They sang - songs for relaxation
They sang - songs, to take their minds up off that
fucked up situation
I am... yes I am... the descendant (yes yes)
of those folks whose, backs got broke
who, fell down inside the gunsmoke
(Black people!) Chains on they ankles and feet
I am descendants, of the builders of your street
(Black people!) Tenders to your cotton money
I am.. hip-hop
"It's heavy metal for the black people"
I am.. rock and roll (rock and roll.. rock'n'roll)
BEEN HERE FOREVER!
They just ain't let you know.. (HA!)

I said, Elvis Presley ain't got no soul (huh)
Chuck Berry is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the Rolling Stones

Elvis Presley ain't got no SOULLLL (hell naw)
Little Richard is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the Rolling Stones
But they ain't come up with that shit on they own (nah-ah)

Guess that's just the way shit goes
You steal my clothes and try to say they yo's (yes they do)
Cause it's a show filled with pimps and hoes
Tryin to take everything that you made or control (there they go)
Elvis Presley ain't got no SOULLLL
Bo Diddley is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the Rolling Stones

(and Motown)

(huh) I ain't tryin to diss
but I don't be tryin to fuck with Limp Bizkit
"The fuck is on your mind?"
When I get down in my zone
I be rockin Bad Brains and Fishbone
I ain't tryin to slow your groove
But that ain't the way I'm tryin to move
I don't turn on Korn to get it on;
I be playin Jimi Hendrix 'til the dawn
That's my word is bond
Sittin up on my front lawn
Got the volume turned to ten
Playin Albert King the best again (black)
When the mornin in the cooker
Got to turn on some John Lee Hooker
When I want some rock and roll
Go to Otis Redding to get some soul

Say, James Brown got plenty of soul
James Brown like to rock and roll
He can do all the shit fo' sho'
that Elvis Presley could never know (black people)
Said, Kenny G ain't got no SOULLLL
John Coltrane is rock and roll (uh-huh)
You may dig on the Rolling Stones
but they could never ever rock like Nina Simone

Say whoahhhh-oh (don't take it) oooh-wee-ohh
(black music) whoahhhh-oh (don't take it) oooh-weee-ohhh
(black music) whoahhhh-oh (don't take it) oooh-weee-ohhh

Here's something interesting. I just heard about this band for the first time yesterday. Maybe some of you guys know them:

The Bellrays

They've been described as Aretha Franklin (classic afro wearin' Aretha) fronting the MC5. http://www.geocities.com/...dium/9475/
[Edited 1/28/05 12:10pm]

That description is right. I've seen this band twice out here in L.A. and they kick ass live!

I bought their latest CD, 'The Red White and Black' this weekend and it's really fierce. I love that retro-rock sound with the diva-like vocals on top. It turns out the new release that was mentioned in Alternative Press was the reissue of this album. Highly recommended.

blackguitaristz and The Audience riding in the back of the limo.

blackguitaristz: Man, I thought the limo was going to be siver with gold trim? (pause) And where is the shag on the floor? Man, let's not use this limo service again.
The Audience: Be cool, Chris. I have a headache.
blackguitaristz: Hey, I hope Funk Mistress is going to be there. I had Ryan give her front row seats. You think she'll show? I want, no, I NEED to be able to see her in the front from the stage.
The Audience: (shakes his head) Chris, you're hopeless.

blackguitaristz: Oh yeah? (searching into pockets) Damn, I love these pants Hotlegs made for me, but...(struggles) they're so tight, a brother can't even get his hands into his pockets.
blackguitaristz falls onto the limosine floor. The Audience shakes his head, looking out the window.
blackguitaristz: There, look at this.
The Audience takes a picture from blackguitaristz.
blackguitaristz: Now, is that the hottest catsuit you have ever seen in you life or what?

Finally someone came up with a decent topic/thread here on the Org...besides all of those stupid ones like, How tall is Prince?, etc..

You can thank me for the Betty Davis photo...That is from my Betty Davis site, that has been around since 1997 (Thank You!!!)

I am surprised no one mentioned (unless I missed it) SKIN from Skunk Anansie...or Mandrill (they rocked too...)

...and Michael Gregory (Jackson)!!

(solo albums, also recorded and performed with Carlos Santana, Nile Rodgers, Steve Winwood, Bernard Edwards, Walter Becker, Clyde Criner, Oliver Lake, Jack Dejohnette, Pat Metheny, Nona Hendryx, Henry Threadgill, David Sancious, etc...), playing everything from avant garde jazz to power pop, he actually had to drop the "Jackson", because of the confusion...
