Comment:
Again a spread of styles - this was much harder to do than I thought without including lenghier Jazz pieces, repetition of artists, songs & albums. I also refused to include black artists covering white artists. EnjoyFeedback:
Big sigh. Great series, great volume. Love that Mojo Hannah.
just what I said 'bout the first one
Terrific, keep em coming.
Yeah, exactly what hemizen just said...
Superb, too!
I played that Prince tune at my Grade 7 dance (first DJing gig, too!). Needless to say, a teacher intervened and yanked off the record. It was my first act of musical rebellion. I like everything I know here, even the MJ tune, another flashback track. Great work.
Again, excellent. Glad to see the LKJ - never see him much in mixes (or anywhere else). I think that Black music definitely can include "covers" of non-Black songs - Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" is certainly Black Music of the highest caliber, even though it was written by a white Jewish guy.
Songs to inspire as well!
Another winner!
This one's a stunner Dom!
Oops, missed a "K" in "knock" on my MOTW intro. Maybe this'll knock some sense into me? Doubtful.
Great stuff all round - with the possible exception of that MJ track - urgh!;)
Top class.
This looks really great, Congratulations on MOTW!
This is indeed an inspired series, Dom! Congrats on the MOTW -- well deserved!
Congratulations!
Amazing. I especially love the Eugene McDaniels and Linton Kwesi Johnson picks.
Looks good Dom, all great tracks. Tho' I don't know why you wouldn't include covers, white folks been ripping of black folks music for over a hundred years.
Congratulations on MotW !
Looks Nice
CONGRATULATIONS Dom!
OK, the music on all of these mixes is stellar, the artists and your song choices awesome. But, since when is music black or white, or yellow, or red, etc? Sure certain genres are associated with different races, but no genre is exclusive. Isn't it a moot point to try to separate music by the color of the skin of its creators, especially when several influencial groups have been and are still interracial (the jimi hendrix experience, the allman brothers, sly and the family stone, weather report, prince & the revolution, santana, countless jazz groups, etc). Not to mention the fact that few genres are without influence of other genres, especially those that are tied to other ethnicities.
Do not get me wrong--I know the idea here wasn't to segregate. Certainly it is a worthy cause to preserve kinds of music at its purest. But, I think a black artist mix is kinda like Black History Month -- why not celebrate or recognize "black" (or any other ethnic) music/history all the time with a more concerted to recognize it as equally as "white" music/history. Then we can stop calling it black or white music, and just call it good tunes.
P.S. Sorry for the political rant on your mix's page. just thought someone should say it
