I think we’ve produced a generation of keyboard beats musicians and so that whole style of music is damn near dead in our culture. If it is a style that doesn’t lend well to one dude in front of FL Studio then the youth ain’t really gravitating towards it. You also have exposure, the marketing machines don’t market black funk artists. People make what there is a lane for.
You're absolutely correct, although I'm not talking about "Funk", but I'm talking about "Phonk" music; which is a totally different genre than Funk, and you can create Phonk music easily through FL studio, so I don't understand why it has died for Black people. Phonk music derived from oldschool Memphis rap beats including Dark tones, 808 cowbells, and hard hitting drums most of the time. Heres an example:
Oh my bad I thought you were being stylistic. I’ve never heard of this genre before but have definitely have heard it in other Black genres like techno and house.
Now I have heard some on that EU/Russian shit and its just that. SHIT! It gets no play whatsoever. But the letter mafia rocks with that BS.
Sis? Remember that noise they called "Punk music"? Where we all first saw hair styles like that Mohawk? I think white EU & Russians changed their version to "Phonk" as a mash up.
It’s a different genre than Techno though, but it does have correlation though because modern Black American music is heavily related between each other so some genres could sound like other genres. But this genre is more heavier than techno, and mostly utilize 808 cowbells with heavy bass drums, and a lot of the times incorporate distorted vocal samples; that’s how you can distinguish Phonk from Techno.
Jackpot!!! That is the ONLY genre of music I know to pop a elderly neighbor's ear drum, who has since past. He treated my grandparents very well and I cut his lawn and snow removal when his health started to fail.
We would call that techno here in the UK. Its influenced by techno in mainland Europe, specifically Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. Cant say that I've heard of Phonk tho.
This isn't at all influenced by any European country lmao, this is mostly derived from rap (Specifically Memphis rap) which has developed here in America, and techno was pioneered by Detroit also, it's not known who started to create techno music first.
For real....I was thinking WTF is phonk. You know what Trilly? We are becoming the old niggas we used to laugh at when we were teens. The old nigga that couldn't remember the name of the latest game, the hottest TV show, the newest rapper...that's us bruh.
Good "black" music teachers are very hard to find. McKenzie High had one of the best teachers (Mr. Brown) who had total soul and that's how he taught, from the heart not just for a check. #McKenzieSTAGS
Yes we are unfortunately. Think about how old you look to a 16 year old?
Lmao! You sayin we "back in my day" guys now?
What cracks me up is they think they came up with everything. Never thinking that we were once 16 as well, so we know ALL the tricks! 🤣
To clarify, the techno in the UK is influenced by Europe. A lot of comes from Europe, and the UK produces too. Its a mix.
We had 3 music teachers in my high school. Two were white women and one was a black man. He by far knew the most about music and actually inspired students to become passionate about music and learning instruments. I was only in high school for one year where he was teaching. He ended up taking a job at a private school because it paid 3 times the amount so I could not blame him but that is what happens. All the good teachers take higher-paying jobs in private schools and public schools have teachers who are just doing it to make ends meet and it shows.
