It's up to the industry and the public. If the record labels found a young black artist/guitarist that's marketable and could put some cool guitar playing ALONG with some good songs (like Prince or Living Colour),then MTV,BET, and VH-1 may have someone new to promote. Certain kids might pick up on it and say "That's cool..I want to do that" and the seed is planted. But it's up to the industry..Right now the industry doesn't care about black bands. They just want solo R&B or hip-hop artists that they can play to death on MTV/BET and make a zillion dollars.

Sad to say it, but it'll be a long while until we see another Prince, Funkadelic, Cameo, Fishbone or Band Of Gypsys.


its not up to the industry as far as pickin up an instrument goes - its up to the kid and sometimes the parent. a kid can choose to play or not to play an instrument - i think alot of kids today just choose not to. and in some cases (like where the parent has the means to do it) they just dont see it as a prority to enroll their kids in a class.
an example of this would be last year when i was in 8th grade this guy volunteered to teach 5 kids in 8th grade guitar, and when they came to my class askin who wanted to do it hardly noone raised their hand, in a class of about 24 only 5 or 6 people (including myself) raised their hand. what does that say? it says they werent interested.
Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
...And i'm gonna be groovy in it!

Does Mana count? lol

One of these days, I'm gonna get that damn guitar! Old skool midnight snatch-n-run style! wink
Cats like Martin Luther and Van Hunt are trying to hold it down but its hard to please a label and the public. Usually they want two different things.
