Small nitpick:
While Jazz is mostly an African American creation and most of it's most successful practitioners are black, most Jazz aficionados will bristle at lumping Jazz with hiphop... it would be like lumping Beethoven with Ozzy Osborne, doesn't compute....I am a big hiphop fan and a lover of jazz but they are different.
- erulabs 9y agoWell, of course they are, but your first sentence is all I was after. Jazz and hiphop share the fact that they were authored, in majority, by african-americans and the songs in both genres, in majority, tell tales of poverty and hope.
- Edmond 9y agoNOT AT ALL. While hiphop does a lot of "tales of poverty", jazz for starters is mostly instrumental. Secondly, Jazz is fairly diverse in terms of the topics (love and life) that are covered in songs...It is simply wrong to pigeon hole these art forms as about "tales of poverty".
