I love NG on American life, music and informative black views.
Nelson George is a genius!
This is a great way for the next generation to hear(shamar) our cultural lifestyle, that was hidden from them. Before the pimping🤭 started we heard the happy voice in our songs and we were singing them to the ONE LOVE that WILLED IT FOR US... Now, as you say; the "anger" and or the "weeping and wailing" is heard in today's music. Very politically motivated...However, Sam Cook sang about it; "our change is gonna come"...ITS HERE!!! AND MY TALANTED ONES GOT THE NEW SOUND WE ALL BEEN WAITING ON...Just need people like you to assist in getting us through the locked doors. OR we just gonna burn them down with the RIGHTEOUS HOLY FIRE(THE ANOINTED ONE).😊😚☺🤣😆😁😅😇👏👏👏🙌🙌🤝🤭
Great interview.
Nelson , your skilled opinion about what is really going on is extraordinary and bright. You are anointed in the area of discernment. Love your opinion on marriage. Its a new day my brother.
We must not forget about Sun Ra. His pioneering of sound sets and subsets of keyboards of analog and digital effects or stylings. Early on before Stevie Wonder, Bernie Worrell, as well as Herbie Hancock.
Sun ra is a jazz legend like acid fusion hard bop funk jazz I ain't heard sun ra music before but I heard about him
Wow, forgot about this one. Most excellent, Mr. George. I once met you at Eso Won's Book Store, in Baldwin Hills, a number of years ago. Much success. 🎉 😂 ❤
Hope Nelson George puts his books on Audible
You know our public library main branch in Queens have a list of all his books. Not one was on the shelves. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Wondering how I can change that nonsense. 👁👁🙏🤝 4 real.
Nelson George is the voice of our times as it pertains to black music.
The evolution of black music is what makes it transcendent. Our ancestral heritage to Africa makes black music such a transformative entity.
Every genre and sub-genre of black music takes on the signs of its times. As we all know, hip-hop is the singular voice of our times, and every element of black culture: music, fashion, art, movies & etc., centers around hip-hop.
Though our music has kind of wander from its roots as black artists focus more on commercial success, I think as we move forward you will see a cultural revolution. The recent killing of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer will be the rallying cry behind this transformation.
One thing that is still evident, black music will always be that dissenting voice that you will hear, even when there is pure silence.
Wow, I feel you. And hear your anointed words. Thank you.
Its happening big time in Jamaica Queens. Like back in 70s when the west indies filled our neighborhood. However, I put most of that on our polite way of trusting others to join or struggle.
Wow, Mr. George, it also didn't hurt that Sly was also already a prolific Music Producer, & famous Radio Disc Jockey.
Point taken. Paul Roberson , we always saw him in a suit. Formal wear...
As we continue to be ignored, stolen from, marginalized, and even killed off, we still keep creating magic sounds that refuse to be silenced!
A Miles Davis. Who was always seen as a sharp dresser. Even in '70's, up until his death in the early '90's.
Nelson George's next book: The Death of Black Funk
Hope we can get it in our libraries. Where are those shakers, makers and movers, in our public spaces. All I see is the bali-mali"s getting all there stuff in our public spaces; libraries, movie theaters...
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Nelson is really good at "sparing the superlatives". I know him, so I know he has personal opinions about almost every artist... and will immediately "correct you", if you call someone "great" who is merely good or okay :-)
Me too. He's just like me...powerful people must bring it, in the REALLITE.😅😁😆🤣👏👏👏💯💗
