African Americans created scat and bebop for Jazz. The words mean nothing phonetics as if voice is nothing more than a melody.
I explained lyrics are the last unturned stone, that in the story of Pentecost the Apostles were given tongues of fire to speak and understand any language they encountered.
Yes Ebonic HipHop is very valid, but I don't need to hear it, it frustrates me because it's not structured linguistics, it's extremely funky.
Dave Chapelle went to Africa to find his roots after the Chapelle show. There is no reason why the great African rappers can't go to Nigeria or other places and incorporate the mother tongues into their lyrics.
I have a Slovenian hip hop album by N'toko. It is not bastardized language. Every language has HipHop now.
African Ebonics has nothing to do with me. I'd rather learn my mother tongue fluently and rythmically.
I really think African Americans would find greater redemption buying some African dictionaries and getting jiggy with it. Language Linguistics Scat Bebop the Tongues of Fire from the Holy Spirit. That's what I'm hammering here. Shits going down in hip hop I think about it a lot
