Music Monday: the History of Rap

Posted by xJane on January 31st, 2011 at 5:08 pm · No Comments

I have just downloaded substantially all of the songs necessary to create a playlist that takes this clip and turns it into a retrospective. Justin Timberlake seems to me to be an incredibly talented musician who also happens to pander to “pop” to make money. And good on him for figuring out how to do music he enjoys and make money. This, however, is a sweet homage to what he owes to those who came before him—in all genres.

[No embeddable vids :( You'll have to go here.]

Also? how amazing are the accompanists for keeping up with their key/tempo change?
