I'm not even going to answer this. The question sounds a little ignorant and should I point out all the things that white/other races created then I would be called a racist. I'm not a racist, but I am slightly biased to dislike people who try to create conflict over race/culture.

If you think rap is good and/or music, you are wrong. Jazz is ok, and the blues are great, but to say that blacks are responsible for all the good music couldn't be further from the truth. Good music is subjective, and I don't see color... I see talent.
Another question could be, why are blacks always dealing drugs? I wouldn't classify all blacks that way any more than I would with music.

I hate what is played on the radio today. But i love old blues jazz and rock. To say these kinds of music were forged only by black people would be like saying only British people write good rock music because the Beatles are the best known rock band in the world.
utterly stupid.
whats important is to recognize contributions to the whole not idolize contributors based on their ethnicity.... John Coltrane didn t make jazz because he wanted people to remember him as black. But because he wanted people to remember him as a fantastic musician.

You know as well as I do that music was almost the only thing we had at one point. Although I believe we're gifted in this area, I strongly believe that we're gifted in business management, entrepreneurship, mathematics, and science. It's just a shame that the world only recognizes our gift in music and athleticism. What's more shameful are the amount of ignorant people on here sharing their racist views. As my great grandmother said, "It's better to appear a fool than to open your mouth and leave no doubt."

because they(you) do not have a job to get to very morning. and white and hispanics do, so with all the extra time you create music, wich most of it Isn't so good, Jazz, is good but the rest like rap and reggae is almost the same, maybe the creator got a job for a while. LOL

LMFAO
WRONG!!!
Country derives from the Western genre of music (which has now been sadly enveloped by country).
Also, you forget genres like Heavy Metal, which have bands that are far more successful then the most famous rapper, Blues, or Jazz musician. Some examples of these bands are AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and METALLICA.
Pop? That is the WORST genre of music I have ever heard. I can’t believe you even mentioned it.
Now the Blues and Jazz are two of my favorite genres, right behind Metal. Those deserve honorary mention.
And this question is so ignorant I can’t believe it. You shame everyone of us who are even part African American.

Blacks may have added quite a bit to the music industry but the music that is put out by "blacks" these days is a bad example to your race. All these "so called" music artist "rappers" should not be getting the glory they do for the "so called" music they perform.
Answer to your question, You use to be gifted in these areas.

They're not. Its just what the Jew run media wants you to believe by furthering their agenda of miscegenation (interracial breeding). The jew media wants to breed the white race out of existence, so they keep promoting these hip hop losers as being "cool" so white girls will gobble it up and wind up producing mulatto babies.
