One would immediately try and look back at Run DMC with Aerosmith, but I think it goes even further back, personally.

YESTERDAY

Anger and general dissatisfaction are universal themes that travel thru both time and space. At some point, even the humble have had enough; emotions are existant because they are release.

Now for this, and these musical contributions shown above and below, we must thank the prison system and their need to make financial, mental, intellectual, and spiritual slaves of us all.

TOMORROW

Remember, you need bad to have good, and if you search hard enough, you may find the point where they meet and even trade roles.

Maybe a great way to look at it is thru the dissolving of the race theory. After all, music is music regardless of what genre it has been tagged with. Even the tags were placed there to make it an easier sell.

When they did that to music, it was if they wanted the divide, but as future generations would illustrate, we are on a one-way collision with unity.

Albeit, a splintered and imperfect unity, but everything needs time. Time to absorb and understand, let alone, compromise and cultivate.

Hope you enjoyed this longer than usual presentation. There are many items, facts, and history missing here. I encourage you to do your own research and reveal the remaining truths and examples of rock and rap. Perhaps, we all owe a heavy debt to Blues. Often, I wonder what Blues thinks about it’s offspring?

Keep on rocking, but is it a free world, Mr. Young?

And ya don’t stop.
