You seem like a very afro-centric person. Kind of racist, but not in a horrible way, just mildly.
Actually not
Well I grew up listening to old skool R &B, and gospel, my mother would always play gospel music when she picked me up from school and at home, and then when i went to Church. But, from 3rd grade up to Senior yr I played cello. I listen to hip-hop, raggae, R&b, Soca, Salsa, Samba, Bossa Nova, anything you can dance too...you can't really dance to rock music. Well, the old Rock and Roll you could but not from late 70's to today's subgenres. I listen to jazz and classical music as well, and I am thinking about getting back into playing cello, except this time adapting R&B songs to cello...
What I said was that there are alternative, I was really speaking for myself, most black folk only think that there hip hop and RNB, but once you discover the derth of Afro-influenced or based music, it's overwhelming
It's like people in the 70's, when you told them you study martial arts, they only thought of Karate---not knowing that there is shit load more...
