All The Tenets That I Had Grown

Music Is A Language, And It's Like A Dictionary That Has A Lot Of Words, But If You Limited Yourself To A Couple Of Definitions You Would Be Illiterate. If One Limits Oneself To A Peculiar Definition Like 'new Music,' 'avant-garde,' Or Something Like That, I Think It's Like Cutting Out Half The Dictionary.

A Whole Generation Of Young Whites Have Involved Themselves With Traditional Negro Music.

Yes, The Audience Is So Important To Negro Music, Especially The Element Of Call And Response.

Rap Actually Took Root In The Negro Community, And Then In The Hispanic Community, Long Before It Impacted On The Larger American Community As A Whole.

So, Rap Has That Quality, For Youth Anyway; It's A Kind Of Blues Element. It's Physical, Almost Gymnastic. It Speaks To You Organically. Rap Grows Out Of What Young People Really Are Today, Not Only Black Youth, But White - Everybody.
