  1. GREAT GREAT SLOGAN!! CHUCK D OF PUBLIC ENEMY SAID IT B4 SCARFACE! THIS
    THING GOES BACK 2 FUNDS BEIN’ CUT IN SCHOOLS! NO INSTRUMENTATION, NO
    THEORY, NO FEELING OR EMOTION! MONOTONES!! THEY DON’T EVEN SCREAM OR HIT
    GREAT HIGH NOTES 2 GIVE U THAT “FEELING”!! CAN’T REMEMBER LAST TIME I GOT
    EXCITED ABOUT SOMEONE’S ALBUM COMING OUT!!!

  2. Greed kills,it is sad how The industry has taken over and now rules the air
    waves! The sounds from Motown in the 60s,to the great mega groups of the
    70s are No longer why? MONEY THE LOVE OF MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL! There
    many of great musicians out there writing great songs sad thing is We will
    never get to hear them. Sad thing is these music Mongrles have sold there
    souls,and want to take the youths as well ! Just listen to what ALL of the
    new so called artists are saying,can’t say singing

  3. Man, I’m happy I’m not the only one complaining about today’s R&B having at
    most 3 different chords and no key changes……and no tempo changes. It’s
    getting too minimal man, all style no substance.

  4. More like devolution; the industry is sacrificing musical prowess for quick
    cash, new acts. New acts that last today but are gone tomorrow for the next
    new trendy act.

  5. Now most of these old school bands (aside from Mint Condition, man what a
    group of lifesavers they still are today) no longer record new material and
    just stick to playing the oldies circuit. Any aspiring black bands either
    have to go overseas to find their audience or just remain underground/indie
    until the industry finally gets back to some shred of credibility-doubtful
    at this point thanks to the internet. Now artists can directly connect with
    their fanbase instead of label “middlemen”.

  6. It was really over for black bands after ’93, when rap/hip-hop became the
    dominant form of black music and the record industry was pushing that
    Seattle “grunge” sound to no end (which killed off even the more
    interesting black alternative bands that were hanging on for dear life).
    The result of this led to an entire generation (mine) being unable to
    understand, appreciate or even respect real instruments, well-written
    songs, professionally trained singers/musicians, and MUSIC-minded producers.

  7. I would agree the old bands are doing the oldie’s tour because of course
    they will not be given any new contracts but the industry refuse to sign
    new black bands to save money WE need to boycott the industry and demand
    the signing of new black acts

  8. Funny, I was asking that same question in an AOL chatroom about 13 years
    ago and NOBODY remotely knew what I was talking about (lol). I think most
    black bands started dying out for real after around ’83, when synthesizers
    and programmed beat machines were beginning to replace actual horn/string
    sections, drummers, and even guitar players. Then the Reagan Administration
    really kicked it into overdrive by cutting music programs out of the public
    school systems, leading to rap/hip-hop dominating…

  9. If you look at some movies and some tv shows you’ll notice that alot of
    them like to incorporate old school music in their movies because theyre
    classic songs. And when you talked about the big bands, the first thing
    that came to my mind was the song Take Your Time by the SOS Band. I
    remember watching an old video on here and they had atleast 8 people on
    stage and it just looked and sounded so great. the underground artist &mid
    major artist today are the ones using bands in my opinion
