but it still doesn't account for hip hop.
most hip hop artists couldn't play.

but what they did do... is collaborate and compete.
the music snobs touched on this.
we always knew beyonce would go solo.
we always knew somebody from new edition would go solo.

but i can't even imagine U2 breaking up.
i can't imagine Radiohead breaking up.


i don't get why black kids don't make music TOGETHER.
there must be a reason this don't happen the way it did.
i mean, churches still have kids on drums and keys.

but they don't jam outside of rehearsal.
they don't leave church and go to a juke joint after service.

not playing music instruments might be a part of it.
but i want to know why the kids aren't making whatever music they are making together anymore.
