R.I.P. Teddy P

Yesterday, we lost a legend in Teddy Pendergrass. He was nominateed for a Grammy five times and sold millions of albums. In rememberance of him today, I'll post a sample of one of his songs. "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration" was sampled in "Higher" by Do or Die.

An Introduction

Welcome to my blog. I feel like hip-hop is the most diverse genre of music. Before you click that red "X" in the top right corner and write me off as a backpacker with the straps too tight just hear me out. Over the past 5 or 6 years I've delved deeper into the music. I've looked past the materialism, misogyny, and violence that permeate through many of the lyrics and I have just appreciated the art. I've listened to the beats and the background of these songs to find out how they were composed. Many hip-hop songs contain samples. These samples come from a number of genres (jazz, rock, blues, metal, etc.). Can you tell me any other genre music that pays homage to earlier forms of music like hip-hop does? I've discovered many artists in the aforementioned genres because of hip-hop. Enough of the sentimental stuff. This blog is.......a Product of My Opinion.
