I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon


The grandfather of hip-hop music dies and not a word about it on here!

Schubert, very interesting observation.  Never thought of it that way, bias always enter into the picture when dealing with humans.  Taters certainly has a chip on his shoulder about Rap and Hip Hop, this is his third denigrating post in the last month or so.  Give it a rest ...

With respect to "the grandfather of hip hop dies ..." I have no idea who he is referring to.  I did a quick search and the only name I came up with is Gil Scott Heron, a name many of us here know, but he died in 2011!  

Well why didn't he say this from the beginning?  I don't read the NY Times anymore and never saw any alerts on it.  When I was in college one of my dorm mates had a couple of Blowfly records.  For males in their late teens this was raunchy and of no significant cultural value, in other words the best!  Yes indeed, RIP Blowfly.
Taters, no more posts about Rap/Hip Hop and we won't need to worry about them being denigrating.  How's that sound?
