Plight of The Black Rocker

it was the man that kept my bros band down.

Swiz? I saw them with, I think, Underdog.

I could play you some metal that would make even the best Jazz musicians head spin.

Huh? What exactly is an "average black musician"? Blues is even simpler than rock. Rap has no melodies or instruments even. On the other hand, jazz is much more complex than rock.

Anyway, there's a cool black rock band out now called Dragons of Zynth.

There was also a really cool Black rock band called Bad Brains. You guys ever hear of em'?

Yep. That's why these generalities about race or genre don't work overall. It's really a case by case, musician by musician thing.

bad brains started as a jazz fusion group.

afro punk was pretty decent.
