She saw the Public Enemy/Anthrax tour. It says something that it came to Fresno and nowhere near my college town on the coast.
Cripes. I'd honestly forgotten how good Anthrax was. Heh. Their "Bring the Noise" collab is what...20 years old? And the younguns think they're doing something groundbreaking.
I saw Public Enemy live in '92 or so, opening for U2 on the ZooTV tour. Was good.
yes, it is funny. My son is a lead singer in a band similar to that one. The kids today love this stuff, so you may just be right in the end!
All I know for sure,,I won't be around to listen to it,,but I can understand the young ones,,BIG speakers lots of watts,just bang the living sh** out of the instruments and shout out ,how effed up the world is !
Louis Jordan is sort of an anomaly to me anyway, a real sponge of styles and he'll go anywhere and do anything. Bo Diddley isn't primarily a stand up and do a spoken-word/no instruments performer, but you're right: He's also a pioneer who could have influenced American kids more than anyone will let on.
But as a direct chronological precursor to what became known as rap, I'm still saying that would be reggae. Dub, DJs, Toasters, all funneled right into rap. IMO and that's worth nothing.
No, I agree with you, just don't like to see the earliest forebearers left out and Louis Jordan may be the most underrated performer of all times!

You are 100% correct. The toasters might have heard some scat somewhere but the style of some of those old reggae records is very close to what came out of Brooklyn decades later.
i see what you are saying and defintely have a point, since Jamaica was heavily influenced by american Swing/R&b from 40's and 50's, though I would say there is more of a direct correlation to hip-hop to the toasters as far as making up your own rhymes on the spot kinda thing.
