Blacks have contributed quality music to the sonic landscape of mankind in positive ways that are undeniable. This even so to a very minor degree with rap, although I would say that, in that regard not since the late 80's/early 90's and mostly from a production point of view, not the vile crap that is "talked" about in the lyrics. Jazz is another story. I have heard different opinions about it's origin, the influence of Klezmer,etc. But Jazz is a vital, living and breathing art that has been reinvented and developed mostly by blacks over the last century. When Chaim says across the board he can't stand when blacks play Jazz I have to wonder if he needs a hearing aid ;). Either he hasn't heard the likes of Eric Dolphy, Thelonious Monk or Bud Powell or he just doesn't care but I think in this area Chaim makes some outrageous comments sometimes. Miles Davis was a vile human being but undenialbly a musical genius. At least twice in his career he redirected the current trends within Jazz in unique and original ways[Cool Jazz and [censored] Brew] that had an enormous impact on what followed. The reggae sounds of Bob Marley and the Wailers, 60's Soul and Funk from the likes of Ike[another animal] and Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic as well as people like Sammy Davis Jr., Mahalia Jackson and Elmore James have enriched the musical palette of mankind from which any and all creative people can draw inspiration and ideas from. To deny this is simply wrong and creatively foolish. 8)

Actually, I think that black rap noise was a take off on early white rap style music. Early white "rap" music sounded nothing like the black rap noise of today and was quite good and musical, telling a story in the song for a change, but I only know of a few popular songs using it before it was taken over by the blacks. One of my favorite artists from the 80's is Falco (even though he was an immoral bastard) and some of his songs were quite good like "Rock me amadaous" and "Jeanny". He used a unique form of early white rap that was really good and musical (so much so that most can't tell it is a rap like style) but no one followed him really and it was taken over by the blacks and turned into this horrible noise.

I always thought that rap was entirely black in origin.
