Are you too old?

Think back to the 50's when Rock and Roll was anti-whatever. You had The Killer slapping the keys. Little Richard was waillin. Elvis was, well, Elvis. Then there was:

Buddy:

Pretty revolutionary at the time. Are you too old to go further? Hip Hop. Yeah, I resisted at first too but there some good tunes there: Point Blank:



Eminem:



It's about being a parent. Revolutionary too. Can you old folks give it a try? I am.

Sorry Ly, NIN sucks. This is better:

Nope, that's a great tune. I'm really starting to get it.

A friend sent me a vid of Belly-History of Violence. I won't link it here, language and gory content BUT a good message even if his rap occasionally lacks cohesion.

Canadian, Toronto to be exact. Regent Park.

I hope I'm never too old for hip hop.

This song is kinda old itself, but I think it's a classic in the genre. Uncle Ricky tells a bedtime story with a message.

Slick Rick - Children's Story

This isn't Hip Hop though. My mistake.

Edit: Ah, an idea for a new thread.

Yeah, I'm way to old.

I prefer my music to at least have a melody.
Rap is poetry with a beat, not music.

See, I'm way to old.
