Y'all ever think about the progression here? The Blues, lamenting being put down, being passed by, being denied...whatever. Then, 40, 50, 60, maybe even 70 years later, Rap says, Shit, we are FED UP WITH being put down, being passed by, being denied! There's a great stanza in "Fishin' 4 Religion," (by Arrested Development) that sums up some of it:

The pastor says pray to see the pearly gates so white...

The lady prays and prays and prays..and prays...

There's nothin' wrong with prayin,'

It's what she's ASKIN.'

She shoulda been prayin' to change her woes,

But pastor said pray to cope with those.

The word COPE and the word CHANGE are completely opposite, not the same.

('scuse the ommissions.) You get the idea. If you HATE Rap, then it seems that that's all you can contribute to this thread--your hate. Not a very useful contribution.
