HAPPY BLACK AMERICAN MUSIC MONTH!
🎸💎“… and now before your favorite rock artist was a traveller of space and time and biting the heads off bats.. there WAS Screaming JAY HAWKINS…”
THE ARCHITECT OF GOTH/SHOCK ROCK…
ROOTS OF ROCK: EPISODE 1
I know he was innocent and I suppose that matters but here’s what gets lost in that discourse YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL THE GUILTY EITHER! Stealing is NOT a death penalty crime. We have to resensitize ourselves to DUE PROCESS for Black people too! There’s a process…
@AshleyShyMiller I remember some theatre company in another European country tried to do this with PORGY AND BESS.. Gershwin's estate STOPPED that because it specifies the musical must stay true to its roots.. which is BLACK.. a story/journey of BLACK PEOPLE.
@Abelpter@blackishpress What?
“Dreamgirls” is set in Detroit, Michigan, in the 1960’s, and involves three BLACK WOMEN who navigate becoming ‘stars’ in a racist/segregated music industry.
The story itself LITERALLY explores aspects of race/black culture.
When was race a factor in Cinderella and R&J?

Every showboat thing that Jimi Hendrix did with the guitar (behind his head, between his legs, with his teeth, etc) was done by T Bone Walker first.
(I don’t know if Jimi ever got to behind his head PLUS his legs split too)
@Real_JRoe he could've NOT allowed TWO loud and proud racist to be there ... one hosting it .. and one roasting him. HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN... because he's everything Katt Williams said he was.

Kevin Hart really gaslighting Black Americans with his opinions on comedy.
We grew up watching Def Comedy Jam and Comic view. I think we know what comedy is.
@plies HELLO!! WHY WERE THEY EVEN INVITED? What BLACK MAN invites a racist to host his roast and another to roast him at his roast? starts with a "c" and rhymes with moon.
I also MAKE movies like my life depends on it.
On an indie promo budget on Memorial Day Weekend in competition w 10 other films,
& w 50%-250% less screens & WAY less showtimes than everyone that made more-
we made almost $5M.
We're not done
I Love Boosters- in theaters now!

{🧵1/3} …as we finalise the project, @LouisYorkMusic traveled to Memphis to complete the final songs with some of Memphis finest instrumentalists and at the legendary ROYAL STUDIOS.
{2/3} Royal studios is one of the oldest Black owned studios in the US. Established in the late 50s!
Chuck Berry, Ike and Tina Turner, Buddy Guy, Keith Richards, Al Green, John Mayer and MORE have recorded there.
There is genius all up and thru that space… in its bones
