Mei, I think most of us have been rather clear that, for most folks, "black music" = music which originated from primarily black-person populated geographical/temporal regions.

is Rock and Roll still a "black music"?

When I think of black music, I think of music predominately developed within the communities of the descendants of slaves.

that was in my first post to this thread. I don't think it's a perfect definition, so if you disagree with it or think something needs to be added to it, I'm all ears. (eyes?)

KEMO the Blaxican of Los Tres Delinquentes (DELINQUENT HABITS) will realease his SOLO album titled "SIMPLE PLAN" June 2004 . These joints are the perfect Spanish/English rap mix. The ill rhymes and airtight production on this album are extremely inspired with originality and style. KEMO puts it down with a lyrical arsinal and some of the coldest beats around. Simply it's good music, "SIMPLE PLAN "is an absolutely must have album for the Summer of 2004. Check for info @ www.jointclothing.com. KEMO can be contacted at delinquent11@earthlink.net

i think that it doesn't madder what color you are your still a good person (right). God made us this way cause if we were all the same thin that would be down right boring. (don't you think). I'm only in 6th grade at clay jr. high school and were learning about this. Blacks and white people. That the blacks were trited wrong and no onw but the blacks care. Just hear me out yo were all the same no matter who we are or were we came from. Were the way that God made us.

It just about how the music marketed and that's it.

Which means blues, rock and roll and hip hop aren't black, cause they come froom the USA where black people are a minority?
